Kansa. i. Getting More Rain.

In meteorological summary of
1902, DR.. I. Fl. Snow, of the University
~of Kansas, says: "Among the no
table meteorological features of the
year 1902 were the cool summer, the
warm spring and autumn, the abun-
dant and well-distributed rainfall,
the lowest aggregate wind velocity
on record and the latest date of the
first killing frost of autumn. The
total rainfall has been but twice ex-
cceded and then only by few hun
dred thousandths of an inch-in 1876
and 1888. 1t is fact to be empha-
sized that the average annual rainfall
at this station has now passed 3G
inches, Notwithstanding the great de-
ficiency of 1901. There is no doubt
that the rainfall of Kansas is slowly
increasing, while the wind velocity is
slowly decreasing-two points OF
great Importance to the welfare OF
the state"
