THE UROIYU or 1922

This year will 90 down into history
As one noted, among Others things. for
the severe drOu- Int. 1t has been felt
throughout the country, to a limited
extent IN This nei3hhorhood: but most
seriously in the northwest. ANY re-
markable phel ON non such us this Is
apt to be described as the worst on
record, an it is ALWAYS INTERESTING to
look back to the records and compare
the present events with past events, so
that we can see how Nature is treating
us.
Glo:sbrenner, in his History of York
County, published in 1884, tells of Il
drought in 1922, of which e says that
"Persons who lived nearly Il century,
witnessed nothing like it.
The year Of 1922 was v.ry rema k
able year for York. At that time the
borough had a population of about
1 900 and was the centre Of an indus
trio1ls and thrifty population Of nearly
40 900 in the county. 1t was Il most
prosperous community, and happy
one In that year. however. it was
inflicted with two great diSas ters Of
exactly opposite natures.
About the 18th Of February a snow
fell to the depth of eighteen inches.
On the goth heavy rain came from
the south, and the thaw was so rapid
that it brought on ii very severe flood
IN the Codrus. The water was not as
in the great food Of 1917, but was
within four feet of thai height. TIE
floating ice did great damage, destroy
many bridges and buildings. The
great st loss WAS suffered in York.
Af'er The infllctlon of a flood came
tnrt Of Il drought. From the Goth
of February until the 25rd Of August
not drop OF rain fell in York county.
For six months there was wafer
famine, and it may trust the accounts
given Of it, nothing like it has been
seen in this part of the word.
''There was no vain any consequence,
says Gil ssbrenner, from the 21st of
February, he time Of the food, until
sometime in September, a period of
about SIX mon lis. Fountains which
h d been considered as perennial,
were dried mp. Grinding was not done
at one mill out of ten; and where
grinding Was done, the demand for
fl our was not supplied. Many farmers
went twenty miles to mill, and then
were obliged % return with quantity
of flour not sufficient to satisfy
immediate want. An account of the
drouth written on the 18th of August,
says the summer crops have almost
totally faileds some fields will Weld
not grain of corn, and the best fields
not more than few bushel to an acre.
Shortely after this there were two
showers, which greatly relieved the
distress of the country: the one fell on
the 23rd and the other on the oath
of August. The showers, however did
not extend to the northwest part of
the county where the distress arising
from the drouth will still excessive.
As proof that the scarcity of water
at this time was unparalleled, it may be
mentioned that on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, 1922, there was not drop Of
water to be seen in the channel of the
Big Conewago, at the place W here the
briee is thrown across it to the Carlisle
road. At low water, the stream there
is from 90 to 120 feet wide"
