Letter from Col. Counts. tl
n
Dear Holmes: For four months I jj
re been (with very few days ex- a
ition) confined- to the house and d
of Tnv doariv hplnvAd danerhter
law, Mrs. S. H. Counts, widow of b
eldest son, T. J. Counts, Jr. She f]
lot only a daughter-in-law but has v
every sense of the word been to me n
laughter, discharging all the du- s
3 incumbent upon a daughter to b
ather. She enjoys her own home f(
the city of Bamberg (no mortgage p
>r it) with her only son and only f
ighter who have also been very t'
id to me. My attachment for .t,
mberg is very strong, for the rea- s
1 of having made it my home and o
.ce of business for many years, a
3 further more for th< very high e
eem in which I hold my personal ti
ends. I have but one son and one t
lighter left and it is not lack of
e for them that I am not with one t
the other, one living in Laurens n
3 the other in Florence. But very y
tural it is to suppose that one of
r age, now near my 85th year,
lid or would pull off from a peo- ^
! not only of Bamberg but also of
rnwell, my dear old mother counwhere
I boast of still having a
nnant of the friends left that once p
jmed to take pleasure in electing
\ to some of the highest positions j
me gin 01 me peupie.
[n writing these lines I am actuated q
the deepest interest of the agri[tural
people. On the success of
it people depends the success of
*ry other line of life. q
In the way of seasons we are pass;
through an awful ordeal. I am
old man and I never have seen
ything to equal it. I hear the same
nplaint all over the country and 1
my even go so far as to say that
iy are demoralized and don't know
lat to do. It is just that class of
Dple that I desire, most of all, to
ich through these imperfect lines.
r own experience as a farmer
lght me many good lessons. In
r day and time, the 10th of March
s the old Dutch rule for corn
tnting and the 1st of April for cot1
planting and so on from time to
.le till the whole crop for the year
s put in the ground. When I
st began planting I stuck pretty
ise to the rule but later on I found
t that the world was not made in 1
lay and that it would not be best
me to stick to the rule. So I ben
to experiment on a small scale,
rying from the old rule, and the &
suit was that it was best to wait on

L-J \A MODERN RAIN-MAKER.
o How a Texan's Dynamite Explosions
Brought Relief to Parched Crops.
y
In tne spring of 1911 crops on the
ranch began to need rain. There was
no sign of nature that pointed to any
d immediate conclusion of the drouth.
There was no method by which I
could run irrigation ditches in time ?
to alleviate conditions. It was under
s the stress of these conditions that I
d resolved to carry the war into the
country of Jupiter Pluvius and bom^
bard him until he surrendered
enough rain to save the crops.
Late in June I made my first attack
upon the elements. My men arL~
ranged eight firing stations in almost
a straight line, an eighth of a mile
L" apart, making a firing line of one
mile. One hundred and twenty-five
shots of two pounds of dynamite
y apiece were fired from each of these
3? eight'stations.
5- Nothing came of this first "battle,"
s ?due, probably,^to the fact that we
e had paid little attention to the atb
mospheric conditions and had conducted
the initial experiment when
r none of the natural indications of
s rain was present,
i- Inside of a week after our first experiment
we chose a day that seemed
'f more propitious for the second at t
tack. The barometer on the morning
s of the "battle" indicated an extensive
degree of humidity, but there
!- were no clouds overhead, and the sun
n shone down hot and steady as it does
(- upon the plains of the southwest,
e The second "battle" was upon a
' ' -e J. TTT_ J ^
n larger scale man me ursi. we uauc
use of the initial eight stations of the
first firing line, but doubled the dose
?that is, we used 250 two-pound
^ shots from each battery, continuing
M the firing throughout the afternoon.
Rain followed within 10 or 12 hours
" after the firing ceased, whereupon a
rainy period set in extending from
July 1 to July 10, with rains occurring
at intervals of two or three days.
I_< The rain was not general over
e Texas, or even over the section of
1 - - V i
the State ln.wnicn my raucu is an,ue
ated. It can best be described by the
meteorological definition, "local
e showers," and in the minds of those
f
who witnessed the experiments was
attributed solely to the fusillade we
a had directed at the heavens.?Harpu
