INCREASE OF PRECIPITATION.
South Dakota Figures Show an Ap-
preciabIe Growth.

The question as to whether the an
nual precipitation in this part Of the
Northwest Is increasing, Is one on
which there has been a great deal OF
dispute, and on this a table covering
the period from 1882 to the present
year has been prepared for periods OF
five years
This table would indicate that there
has been an increase, but whether It
Is one Of meteorological cycles. or 4
permanent one is for future years to
determine. The observations up to
1891 were taken at Fort Sully. and
since that date at Pierre. For the
five years from 1926 the average
was 1859 inches per year. This In
cluded the period of the heavy SHOWS
OF the early eighties. The next pe-
riod from 1S87-91 showed slight de-
cline with 14.16 inches per year.
Since that time there has been a
steady increase. Tho period from
1926 showed 1903 inches. That
from 1897 to 1901 being 1865 inches.
The period from 19o2-06 showing 1908
inches. The total precipitation for
last year being 206S inches. and for
this year to date. with two months
more to go. being 20.46 inches.
These figures show an increase by
nve-year periods. which is certainly
appreciable.

The "New Celery Culture"

The new method" of growing eel.
cry, as briefly described by Rural New
Yorker, consists in preparing the soil
thoroughly, manuring or fertilizing
heavily and setting the plants close to
gether, in some cases one foot apart,
all over the field, without mounding or
banking up. 1t is necessary to irrigate
from time to time, and while young the
plants are kept clean by hand and
wheel hoe. The dense mass of celery
bleaches the stalks without the need OF
earth or boards. 1t appears, however,
that the method has not become popu-
lar and that some trouble has resulted
from mice attacking the celery.
