. The continued productivity of any
: Irrigated region Is dependent upon Us
(water supply, and the water supply is
t regulated by the condition pt the fof
, est cover.on the watershed. Therefore
, we may say that the productivity of
"I the arm lands depends upon the con
dition, ot the fprests.'-
Tha i-oriiHr nf wntPi-fihpd denudation
. ire well known. Without the protec-
t ttve forest cover the winter snows melt
quickly and the water. rushes down the
Btream courses, .carrying tons of silt
, which fills the reservoirs and ditches.
The stream beds are -cut down into
j deep gullies nnd, floods result, which
v in some cases have swept away whole
v towns. The summer rains run off
J quickly where the soil has boon ex
r posed. if the watersheds ore -covered
with a stand of timber and its attend
ant undergrowth the winter accumu
(l 1 at ion of snow is let down grndunlly,
thus, lasting far. Into the summer when
' i it Is moat needed. The, summer rains
, nre also sejd back a.nd erosion is held
, to a minimum.
, . The most destructive agency of the
forest jcovor on the watersheds is for
j est fires. These fires not only kill the
. young growth, but they also- burn the
', humus out of the soil and render it less
' water retentive, Continued fires so
. deplete the soil of plant food that in
time the watershed becomes an erod-
ed,- barren waste Incapable of support
J lng vegetative growth, ,
t Lumbering on the watersheds is not
destruqtlve if proper cutting mothods
Tnre practiced. The. forest service" reg-
illations, applicable on all national
forests, provide that only the ripe or
, mature .trees be cut, and special care
t,Is taken to Itepp the .damage to young
' growth dow ntoia minimum. Brush
nnd all debris is .piled and burned, us--f
jially in the fall when there is no dan
i. per. of the firos spreading.

NEW ORLEANS, May 1. Charles
M. Hatfield, of Los Angeles, widely
claimed as a "rain jmikor," who has
been here several days awaiting a de
cision on his offer to local arglcultUr
al interests to produce two inches of
rain within thirty days for an unstat
ed consideration believed to be $8000,
today prepared to return to his home
after a committee of sugar nnd cotton
planters yesterday rejected his pro
posal. , Rain was fulling as the decision
was announced.
Dr. I. M. Cllnc, weather forecaster
at New Orleans, cautioned the plant
ers against hastily accepting Mr. Hut
field's offer when first made saying:
'Tho month of May ss usually
marked by heavy precipitation in the
Louisiana and Mississippi region. If
rnln follows as usual enough will be
had to take care of the needs."
As the committee announced its
decision yesterday a cold steady rain
was falling. Last night's forecast pre
dicted "falrSind warmer."
