HENRY CAILAHAN's DEATH

Henry Callahan died last evening at his late home. 15O Crescent avenue. It is believed that his fatal illness was in a measure due to injuries he receiv- ed from an explosion at the Cartridge factory. Two of his ribs were then fractured and penetrated his lungs, and a cold soon afterwards contracted developed into pleurisy which was eventually the cause of his death.

DOES TILLAGE MAKE
 THE RAINFALL GREATER

Many very optimistic persons have been comforting themselves with the idea that the arid conditions in Ari- zona will be improved by increased rainfall as a result of tilling larger acreage of land. Such persons claim to have seen a change in climate in Kansas and Texas from this cause. However the Agricultural Extension Service states that no more moisture could be evaporated from the culti- vated soil and crops than had already fallen in the form of rain, which is the only source of moisture in a region far from large bodies of water. Hence the moisture thus given off would not increase the rainfall be-
 cause the rainfall itself had not sup piled the additional moisture in the first place. Weather records in the east kept for over 100 years show no increase in rainfall during that time. However, it is true that irrigation has increased the local humidity if arid valleys perceptibly, but this increase in local humidity, has not increased the local rainfall The fact is that improved methods of moisture con- serv ation by tillage, the growing of dIarght- resistant crops and the plant ing of trees has utilized more fully the existing rainfall, so that flourish
 ing crops in place of barren plains give the general impression that the rainfall has increased and the eli mate changed. The arid region form CT should utilize every source of moisture including rainfall flood waters and pumped water, to insure the success of his crops. And then he should always farm as if the ne%t year were going to be the dryest in the history of his region.
