THE RAINFALL- - Several weeks ago the Ogalalla News published a statement giving the rainfall of past twelve years as recorded by the officers of this sig- nal station, and the editor in his re marks stated the rainfall m West ern Nebraska was increasing each vear. A copy of the paper was for warded to the signal office in Wash ington, and last week Observer Piercy of the North Platte office received the following from Jno. P. Findley, the Recording Officer of the Signal Department: "The rainfall of Western Ne- braska and adjacent states lias not increased of late years, but has been better distributed throughout the year as shown by increase of the number of rainy days. "The breaking up of the hard prairie lands and subsequent culti- vation has checked evaporation and enables the rainfall to penetrate the earth and thus increase its value to growing crops."

THE RAINFALL- -

Several weeks ago the OgalallaNews published a statement givingthe rainfall of past twelve years asrecorded by the officers of this sig-nal station, and the editor in his remarks stated the rainfall m Western Nebraska was increasing eachvear. A copy of the paper was forwarded to the signal office in Washington, and last week ObserverPiercy of the North Platte officereceived the following from Jno. P.Findley, the Recording Officer ofthe Signal Department:

"The rainfall of Western Ne-braska and adjacent states lias notincreased of late years, but has beenbetter distributed throughout theyear as shown by increase of thenumber of rainy days.

"The breaking up of the hardprairie lands and subsequent culti-vation has checked evaporation andenables the rainfall to penetrate theearth and thus increase its value togrowing crops."
