DEMONSTRATION FARM
ON ROHRER'S LAND.
SANTA FE EXPERT WILL ASSIST
IN TESTING IRRIGATED SOIL
IN SAN MIGUEL.

H. M. Banner, New Mexico agricuI
tural demonstrators for the Santa Fe
Railway company, who has been In
the city for a few days investigating
the Rohrer property at Onava. has
taken direction of the cultivation OF
the tract. Mr.. Bainer will give ad-
vice regarding the irrigation project
which is to be one of the largest in
New Mexico when completed. The
land that will be placed under irriga-
tion and farmed this year will com
/ pose over 1875 acres in which will be
planted a large number of crops. The
water will be brought from the Hand
lakes. There will be no possibility
of a scarcity Of water al any time,
making the project practically sure
thing. Wheat, oats, barley, alfalfa,
Milo maize, Kafir corn, and field
peas will be the main crops planted.
OF these the mainstays will be wheat.
! oaIs ana alfalTa.
Mr.. Bainer made a statement thIs
morning to the effect that this com
pany was not launching merely an ex-
pertinent, but rather conducting
demonstration Of what the lands of
New Mexico, especially in tins sec
tion of the state, are capable of pro
ducing. This interesting demonstra-
tion farm will be under the direction
Of the Rorher Land and Development
company, of which S. B. Rohrer is
president. Mr.. Bainer said this morn
ing that the Rohrer project was one
Of the best and most certain propo-
sitions that he had ever mad the
pleasure Of investigating and that the
future for this company is assured.
The ground has been prepared for
seeding and all the space probably
will be seeded by the first of next
week. The ground has never before
been seeded and never before a few
months ago has a plow been pushed |
through it. Mr.. Bainer, who was for
merly connected with the Agricul-
tural College of Colorado, is certain
that the company will make huge
success of the demonstration.
There are alread 5000 acres of land
under irrigation at Onava and vicin-
ity but no definite el4ort has been
made to test all kinds of crops there.
For that reason the Rohrer Land
company has decided to conduct a
demonstration farm. The ground holds
moisture well, and although the wat
er supply is enormous this land win
require a smaller amount of irrigation
than was first estimated by the com
pany. This demonstration farm win
be under the supervision of S. B.
Rohrer, assisted by W. H. Bainer.

WEATHER MADE
TO YOUR ORDER
Richard Rodrian Of Berlin Anxious to
Demonstrate to Government
That Theories are Correct

Richard Rodrian, Berlin's weather
maker" is coming to America this
summer hoping to interest the Unit
ed States agricultural department in
his theory Of weather control, accord
ing to recent dispatches from Germa-
ny. The electro technician, who eYolv-
ed the theory that weather changes
are caused by electrical activity, which
can be controlled by the use Of cleo
trfcal instruments, has been unable
because of lack Of funds TO construct
powerful instruments. However, he
declares that he was responsible for
the pleasant weather in eastern and
southern Germany this year on Whit
monday and Ascension day in the face
of official predictions of rain.
Theory In Electricity.
81 am convinced" said Herr Rodrian
recently, that not only storms and
tornadoes, but floods and earthquakes,
are caused by electrical changes in the
air. Often floods are much greater
than the amount of water that has
IL. /
laced with canals of gas, which, when
the pressure changes, expand, forcing
the underground water to the surface.
This pressure also produces earth
quakes. In all the disturbances in
Europe since | began my investiga-
tons the weather map invariably indt-
Gated the coming catastrophe. | shall
oh sha
prove that the same is the case there
These catastrOphes could be avoid
ed without Il great outlay of capital.
America has the duty of guarding the
Panama canal from earthquakes and
OF saving large regions devastated by
floods. ! am trying to interest the gov
ernment because the power of chang
ing the weather also means power to
cause any desired weather, and unless
this power is in the hands of great
International alliance catastr0phes of
terrible nature might be produced.
| was once approached by some Ameri-
cans who wished me to blight the

sistance and not in the destruction of
humanity"
Herr Rodrian is coming to America
with sufficient funds to conduct expert
ments. He says he is seeking vindica,
ton and not a fortune, He has been
ridiculed for years by the Berlin news

GRoWNUP FISH FOR RIVERS.
Kansas Hatoherys Experiment Has In.
terested Countries Abroad.

NClGSACH CSNllNi lS9 nv DNNs
Kansas has the largest fish hatchery
in the world, and it is rapidly becom-
ing known wherever fish are propagat-
ed by state and government authority.
l.. l.. Dyche, state fish and game
warden, has received requests for in
formation about the Kansas hatchery
from Japan, Germany, France, Sweden
and England q he Washington EN-
bassies of these countries have been
instructed by their governments to OBJ
tain all the information possible about
the Kansas hatchery, and it is likely
that some of these countries will send
expert fish men TO Kansas to see what
the state IS doing
The chief proposition in which the
other countries are interested is the
plan of Mr.. Dyche to distribute only
"grownup" fish TO the streams and
ponds Of the state. The other coun-
tries take the young fish as soon as
they are large enough to ship and put
them in the streams and lakes. Kan
sas holds the fish two years in its
hatchery and puts the larger ones into
the streams

ARE BIBLE NAMES
OUT OF FASHION?

(From the Harlfnrd rlnn.1

NHi@m the Hartford Timesl.
A certain set Of Christian names IA
Ken from the scriptures have been IN
use 50 long that We do not think OF
eneh as biole names. Among them
are Adam, Moses. samuel David.
Hanlel, solomon, Abraham, Isaac ana
Jacob. Others taken from the Saints.
IKE Peter Paul, John, Stephen and
matthew, originally given TO children
because they were born on the saints
day are stili so common that we think
OF them as English names. Those
names antedate the use of surnames.
as may be Inferred from the fact that
nearly an OF them have given rise to
hatronymics, like jacobson. Peterson
ana stevenson. In the twelfth CEN
Jury missionaries sent out by tho
authorities used 10 baptlze whole Wiz
iases az once, and 10 save time Invest
ca al the men with the name OF John
or some other saint. ana the women
usually Mary or Martha. TO distin-
gulsh the Johns some additional name
IKE Short or Strong or white or
itlaek was given him by the nelghbors
ana so Christian names ana surnamcs
were united. After tho Reformation
II became the fashion among the
Purltans 20 give children the names OF
Characters Ike the Old Testament
ana odd ones like Melchisdok or Bar
1iliai were preferred. Among these
were Abel Levi. Jesse. Amos. Asa,
Isaiah. Ephriam Gideon. Malachi,
JOB Ahner, Hosea. Ezekiel. jeremiah,
NacheFiah, Ahrcr, Eu, and hundreds
OF others
For some reason the use Of these
names has largely ceased, We can
understand why Ebcnezer has been
dropped. though once one of the most
common Of names in NoF England.
Tor 10 is decidedly unmel0dious. 40
modern glrl could fan la love with an
Ebenezer But most OF the Puritan
Bible names have strong, manly
ring and have been borne by able
men. That they are going ont OF use
ID very evident from comparing the
early class lists Of Yale with later
ones. Twenty -ilyo classes Ia the early
eighteenth century numbering 875
graduates, show ll0 with Puritan
gwen names This Is about 30 per
cent Ten class in the twentieth CEN
fury, numbering s,O37, show but
twenty-five given names Of this class,
or less than 1 per cent. Ehonozor
and Barzillai have completely dlHap-
peared. Nor Is Peletluh or Zndok TO

descendants ~ these ancient WORTHLESS
have Inherited some OF their sterling
qualities. though they do not perpetu-
