"A MODERN RAIN-MAKER.
How a Texans Dynamite Explosions
Brought Relief to Parched Crops.

In the spring of 1911 crops on the
ranch began to need rain. There was
no sign of nature that pointed to any
immediate conclusion of the drouth.
There was no method by which I
could run irrigation bitches in time
to alleviate conditions. 1t was under
the stress of these conditions that I
resolved to carry the war into the
country OF Jupiter Pluvius and bonn
bard him until he surrendered
enough rain to save the crops.
Late in June I made my first at
tack upon the elements. My men ar
ranged eight firing stations in almost
a straight line, an eighth Of mile
apart, making a firing line of one
mile. One hundred and twenty-five
shots of two pounds of dynamite
apiece were fired from each of these
eight stations.
Nothing came of this first "battle,"
due, probably, TO the fact that we
had paid little attention to the at
mospheric conditions and had con-
Quoted the initial experiment when
none of the natural indications OF
rain was present.
Inside of a week after our first ex-
pertinent we chose day that seemed
more propitious for the second at
tack. The barometer on the morning
of the "battle" indicated an extern
sive degree of humidity, but there
were no clouds overhead, and the sun
shone down hot and steady as it does
upon the plains of the southwest.
The second "battle" was upon a
larger scale than the first. We made
use of the initial eight stations of the
first firing line, but doubled the dose
that is, we used 250 two-pound
shots from each battery, continuing
the firing throughout the afternoon.
Rain followed within 10 or II hours
after the firing ceased, whereupon
rainy period set in extending from
July / to July 10, with rains occur
ring at intervals of two or three days.
The rain was not general over
Texas, or even over the section OF
the State in. which my ranch is sltu-
ated. It can best be described by the
meteorological definition, local
Showers" and in the minds of those
who witnessed the experiments was
attributed solely to the fusillade we
had directed at the eavens.-Harp-
er's Weekly.

Letter from Col. Counts.

Dear Holmes: For four months l
have been with very few days ex-
ception) confined to the house and
yard of my dearly beloved daughter
in-law, Mrs. S. H. Counts, widow of
my eldest son, T. j. Counts, Jr. She
is not only a daughter-in-law but has
in every sense of the word been 20 me
daughter, discharging all the du-
ties incumbent upon a daughter to
father. She enjoys her own home
in the city of Bamberg (no mortgage
over IT'D with her only son and only
daughter who have also been very
kind to me. My attachment for
Bamberg is very strong, for the rea-
son of having made it my home and
place of business for many years,
and further more for tht very high
esteem in which l hold my personal
| friends. I have but one son and one
daughter left and it is not lack OF
love for them that am not with one
or the other, one living in Laurens
and the other in Florence. But very
natural it is to suppose that one OF
my age, now near my S5th year,
could or would pull off from a peo-
| pie not only of Bamberg but also of
Barnwell, my dear old mother coun-
ty, where I boast of still having a
remnant of the friends left that once
seemed to take pleasure in electing
me to some of the highest positions
in the gift of the people.
| In writing these lines am actuated
in the deepest interest of the agri-
cultural people. On the success OF
that people depends the success of
every other line of life.
In the way of seasons we are pass
ing through an awful ordeal. l am
an old man and 1 never have seen
| anything to equal it. hear the same
complaint all over the country and
many even go so fer as to say that
they are demoralized and don't know
what to do. 1t is just that class OF
people that I desire, most of all, to
reach through these imperfect lines.
My own experience as farmer
taught me many good lessons. In
my day and time, the 10th of March
was the old Dutch rule for corn
planting and the 1st of April for cot
Ion planting and so on from time to
time till the whole crop for the year
was put in the ground. When
first began planting I stuck pretty
close to the rule but later on I found
out that the world was not made in
day and that it would not be best
for me to stick to the rule. So be-
gan to experiment on small scale,
varying from the old rule, and the
result was that it was best to wait on
