Depends on Rainfall.
while everybody realizes in a gen
eral way that the world depends on
rainfall and fertility for food, there
are very few, perhaps. who even ap-
proximately appreciate how compara-
lively little the farmer actually does
In the great process of crop-growing.
To pillow millions of acres furrow by
furrow, to spend millions of dollars
on fertilizers. and to reap and gather
and thresh. is no mean task. And yet
compared with the part that nature
plays in the process, mans work
seems a very slight labor. For in
stance, it takes about 20 inches of
rainfall to grow food crop under our
general farming methods, which means
about 2,260 tons of water to the acre.
That seems preposterous figure. but
the doubter can easily demonstrate
its correctness. Suppose the Ameri-
can farmer had to haul the water his
ground must have to give him a good
crop, and that the distance and freight
rate were the same as the average
railroad haul and rate In the United
States. On that basis 1t would cost
him more than $4,000 an acre 70 wa

large estates which they hope to re-

more.

the marriage question. Many of the

Decoration Day, May 80, 1921.

Can you imagine it? Two successive
defeats in the last two games played on
the local diamond. Yes, indeed, it was a
tough time for all, except the Geyhler
Colts from Saltwater, who had no trouble
at all in chucking another defeat down
our threats to the tune of 6-to 2.
Nevertheless, before submitting to the
deep detection and degrading humiliation
they bestowed upon US, in coming from
behind and pounding out victory in the
last two frames, we must bow to them and
acknowledge their superiority in the WELD
ing of the war clubs.
The game opened up with VOL on the
mound for the locals and Hoy was the
first batter up. He went out on foul
fly to Bur. Schell got long fly to center
for two stations. Pumerville went out on
fly to liver. Donahue got single to
right, scoring Schel. McGary was passed
on balls but Huelsmann was thrown out,
Yves to Lob. One run, two hits, no errors.
After that VOL frightened up and by get
ting air tight support, he was able to hold
his opponents scoreless, until the opening
of the eighth frame. Donahue was the
first man up in this frame and he got a
single to right and was advanced one peg
on Bur's error. McGarry went out on a
fly to ON, and while Huelsmann was
batting, Donahue attempted to steal third
and was passed all the way home on
Bur's error. Huelsmann got single and
stole second base and moment later he
scored on Eastman's hit to center and
Eastman went to second on the throw to
the plate. Carlson struck out. Cayou
got single to center and Eastman scored,
but Cayou got bottled up between second
and first and was finally put out by Lob,
retiring the side. Four hits, three runs,
two errors.
The Geyhler Colts did not seem to be
satisfied with the humiliation they had cast
upon us in this frame, so they came right
back in the opening of the ninth with
repeater. Hoy, the first man up, hit a
terrible blow through the pitcher for
two Dagger. Schell went out on fly to
