FORECASTS Are
OF MUCH Value
Illinois Farmers Highly Pleased
With Aid Bulletins Had Been
at Planting Time.
ENABLED TO FIGURE AHEAD
With Prediction Of Rain Everybody
Got Busy With Planters and Crop
Put In Ground Ready To- Be
Soaked and Terminated.

That the farmers Of the country find
the weekly weather forecasts of i'm
mense value, especially during the
growing season, Is evidenced by let
ter of appreciation recently received
by the weather bureau of the United
States department of agriculture from
an Illinois farmer. He was highly
pleased with the aid the forecasts had
been to him and his neighbOrs in plant
ing their corn. In part he wrote:
OF Untold Benefit.
'These forecasts have been of un-
told benefit to US this, an unusual
backward spring, and we feel greatly
indebted to you. With this very reli-
able advanced information you are
furnishing US we are able to figure
ahead and keep planting right up. For
instance, this section began plowing
for corn last week. When we re-
eeived your bulletin predicting rain
for Tuesday or Wednesday of this
week, we got busy with our corn
planters, some even turning the face
Of their calendars to the wall and
letting one Sunday get away from
them. To make long story short,
when your predicted rain struck us
Tuesday noon and is still coming down
this, Wednesday,, morning, 1t found
over one-third of the Illinois corn crop
In the ground ready to be soaked and
terminated. Had we not been put
wise by your Office am confident that
not one-sixth would have been planted.
While your daily weather reports,
made up by your local observer, help
out some, they cannot be compared
with your weekly forecast sent out
from Washington. I have watched 1t
quite close since you began this part
of the service five or six years ago,
and have found it most reliable and
dependable
Weekly Forecast.
In addition to the daily weather fore
casts published in practically all news
papers, the weather bureau issues on
Saturday of each week forecast for
the six days beginning the following
Monday. These forecasts are made
for nine separate districts covering
practically the entire United States,
and necessarily are less specific than
the daily forecasts. They are given
wide distribution during the growing
season, and the letter quoted records
but one instance, among many, in
which they have proved Of great value
to farmers.

Arid Wastes of Arizona Trans
formed by Engineer.
Charles II. Spencer Found Hidden Wa
ter Supply From San Fran
cisco Peaks.

Phoenix, Arlz.-Solving a problem
that for years had puzzled the great
est engineers of the country, Charles
H. Spencer has brought billions Of gal
Ions of water to the arid lands Of Ari-
zona. The water comes from an un-
derground flow on the snow-capped
San Francisco mountains. The noun
tains, 1851 feet above sea level, are
of volcanic origin, and the total pre-
cipitation Is equal to nine and one
half billion gallons a year.
Irrigation experts had sought for
years to solve the problem of saving
this water, which was going to waste,
and which, when turned on Arizona's
deserts, would mean millions Of acres
available for use. Mr.. Spencer spent
four years searching through the
mountains, making careful tests and
examining the rock formations.
His tireless labors were rewarded
when he discovered a rim Of dacite ce-
ment, which carried the water to the
