a Cycle of Wet S
is Before us
Wo have not had such a sprint;
as this since 1883, during which
season tho riohost harvest of tho
county wad gathered. Water id

Scientists say that the period of
tho sun's excosivo activity is over I
and during tho next four are fivo
years, or oven seven or eight wo
lmve reason to expect wetter sea-
sons, xiiey say mat tno sun nas
periodical super-activities, when
tho great sun spots appear, and
that during those periods tho heat
...i.:..i. : ..i?,..! ' .i... i. j. ,.
ivliiph in nhnd over tlm earth is so
excessive that it intorforos with '
tho movement of moisture cur-
reutrf, drying up tlio moisture and
withering vegotablo life. This ex
planation seems reasonable for tho
'dry belt," during tho past few
years, has been practically tho
whole earth. Europe lias been as
dry as America. There is nothing
exceptional in these periods.
Thoy have recurred regularly, at
stated intervals; the only differ-
enco is that tho one through which
we have passed has been one of
almost unusual severity. It is
not likely that another ouoot equal
severity will occur in a generation.
This (scientific view dissipates tho
fear, entertained by soiiiO, that the
earth is gradually drying up.
There ib just as much water on
thin earth now as there was when
wo began to live. Its distribution
is tho ouly thing that has varied,
and tho distribution is in obedi
ence to more or less regular natur-
al laws Neither must we behove
, that tlio drouth through which we
I have juit passed has been tho moot
' sovore, oven in this century. Tho
'great lakes according to govern
I ment records, woro lower preccd
j ing tho lities we believe that was
tho time than thoy are now.
i Tnrco years from now all tho lake
and water levels may bo rostored
' and tho welcome ongs of tho frogs
I will bo again heard from every
' section of tho land. God has not
foivnken uswhich is to say
natural laws have not como to
1 naught all of a s'i Man. From
this our farmers should tako cour-
ago, and plant ovory aero to crop
for which they can procure seed,
for all indications point to an
abundant harvest.

We venture to predict A 1

Seerotary Morton has boon do
intr Bonio figuring in connection
with tho items which have boon
placed in tlio agricultural bill
against his will-in fact, in spito of
his vigorous protost. Ho finds
that in addition to tho S1G3.000
appropriated to buy seeds for free
distribution, it will cost tho Post
Office department, 9172,000 for
carrying seed through the mail.
That three books for exclusive
Congressional distribution ''Tho
report on tho diseases of tho
horse", "Tho report on tho diseas
es of cattle," and "Consular reports
on cattlo and dairy farming" will
cost 81-17,500 and will cost the
Post Ollico Department 841,000
more to carry them, making a
total of 188,500. At tho con
clusion of his figuring on what he
regards us extravagances, because
there aro no adquato returns for
tho money spent, Secretary Morton
pertinently asks: "Is it any wonder
that tho receipts of our postal ser
vice fail to equal its expenditures?"
