Mrs. Canfield was born in Missouri June 27, 1908. Her step-father, J. O. Busse, died last March in Fargo. Prior to coming to Fargo the family had lived a short while at Williston and at Minot. ‘ Two children, with their father, survive the aviatrix. Dennis is four and a half, Carol two and a half years old. Mr. Canfield is a veteran in North Dakota aviation, having been a pilot since the early ‘20s. A native farmer of Fullerton, N. D., he soon turned to his airplane for sport and convenience. Later he abandoned his farming operations and concentrated on aviation. Back in 1922, Canfield Flying Service at Williston. It has been his chicf interest since. Today the municipal airport there carries his name. C ONTINUE D from page one: Drouths Divided Into Two Classes D foregoing statements refer specifically. to that part of the country east of the Rocky mountains. Tree Rings Tell Story Some tree ring records of the far northwest indicate that there prob- ably was a major minimum precipi- tation phase, at least in that area, soon after the middle of the 18th cen- tury, within the period 1755-80, with @ succeeding maximum phase cul- minating about the beginning of the 19th century. While study of long weather rec- ords has not as yet disclosed a law to such study does give an historical background, which warns us that drouths in future may be expected, Just as:severe as those of the past. For example, the records show that in the early 90s, or some 40 years ago, there was a drouth in the so-called “dust bowl” just as severe as that re- cently exerienced. Doubtless, when an end, there will be a period of years with comparatively heavy rainfall, just as before, and little will be heard about dust storms and the like. But, in planning a permanent farm pro- gram for such areas, the basic con- siderations should include the prace tical certainty that dry climatic phases, at least as severe as in the past, will recur. “ The Cause of Drouths ‘There is much loose talk these days about changes in climate due to hu- man activity, and various suggestions that man should do this, that, or the other thing to prevent drouths. Most of such talk is utter nonsense. But here we must distinguish between pre- venting drouths as such and doing certain things to modify the unfavor- able conditions when the drouths do occur... These two things are separate S land practically non-related. There are two basic principles in rain production—getting moisture in- he established his| Justify a forecast of future drouths,; the present drouth definitely comes to; to the air through evaporation’ and getting it out again, through con- Gensation, in the form of cloud and tain drops. The first is important, but the lat- ter much more so as related to the matter of drouths, The only way to produce rain in appreciable amounts is by cooling the air containing the jinvisible vapor of water. The reason why cooling causes condensation is the fact that warm air can hold more moisture — water vapor — per unit volume than cool air. The capacity of air, or rather of space, for holding increase of 20 degrees in temperature. Thus, a cubic foot of saturated air at 80 degrees, if cooled down to 60 degrees, must lose, by condensation, half of its water content, which ap- pears as cloud and rain. The details Of these processes, while interesting, are too long to give here. Air cools most rapidly when rising; the normal fall in temperature for an ascending column of air is 1 degree for each 183 feet of rise. Nature af- fects this method of cooling in a number of ways and usually on an immense scale. Air moves from place to place over the earth's surface in mass formation. These masses come ‘from two main regions—polar and tro- Pical. Those from the poles are dense, heavy, and relatively cold; those from a tropical direction are warmer and lighter. ‘When polar and tropical air masses —one from the north, the other from the south—meet, the tropical air, be- ing lighter, naturally flows up over the opposing dense air, just as it would flow ‘ip a mountainside. As it as- cends iv expands and cools, and thus the water vapor is cooled enough to condense and fall as rain. This illu- strates Nature's method of producing rain in appreciable amounts, It is the only effective way. When the UP TO $50 On Your Signature Only Need money? Need it quick?

We have to think of conservation and adjustment rather than abandonment.
