rain on inland areas Mr Alter explained His figures disclosed that a major part of all current rain water has been evaporated from land surfaces There is too close a correlation between rain and original soil fertility the country he pointed over to be disregarded out The theory that rains regularly increase soil fertility is probably not altogether true however Mr Alter said in discussing a suggestion that the rain bearing nitrogen and pollen may have the effect of fertilizer upon the soils The whims of Utah’s weather are claims Alter Mr unpredictable av“Utah is dependent on a weaour but rainfall annual erage ther Isn’t always dependable” he asserted “The average precipitation has climbed a high as 18 inches and dropped as low as eight inches per year” whistle the withN lr Utah with
