STRANGE WEATHER

And DrOuth May Follow Elk
cessive Rainfall
Early Spring Flowers Shooting Above

"a Leaf.
PEACHES WILL BUD SHORTLY.

Drought and scarcity Of fruit are
prophesied in the present warm
spell. Aside from the loss which
will result from nature prematurely
sending forth her fruit and flowers,
the enormous rainfall in this time Of
the year, when it is not needed, fore
bodies a .drouth next summer that
will cut deep into the food supply.
Another week of this weather will
find the fruit trees budding. Already
the early spring flowers are showing
their noses above the earth and with
the inevitable consequence of cruel
frost, the chances for peaches next
summer, and hyacinths and jonquils
and roses this spring, grow slim. In
many yards in the city there are hy-
acinths and jonquils an inch or more
above the ground. prematurely de
veloped by the warm weather.
The highest temperature in Janu-
airy has been ca on the fifth. The
lowest since the first of the year was
90. The average highest temperat-
ure has been sc and the average low
est temperature has been AZ. Under
such a mild temperature most any
early spring plant would grow.
An old native made the assertion
that as long as the ground is soaked
with water it will not turn cold. The
fact has been borne out thus far in
the month, and the character of the
present weather, alternate rain and
shine, is keeping the ground in a
condition to prevent cold weather.
There was a poor peach crop last
year and without adverse circum-
stances, with which the crop this
year will have to contend Other
fruit may be injured, because the sea-
sons are being SO disarranged that
the normal conditions probably will
not exist throughout the year.
The rainfall since January 1 has
been $40 inches, as much as fell in
any month in 1906.

is the place for every woman
unless necessity demands that
she seek employment elsewhere,
and no home is more desirable
than the country home.
A main source of dissatisfaction
to country women is the glimpse
which they get of city people
visiting In the country. The
majority of them come with an
exaggerated idea of their own
superiority and attempt airs which
to the sensible persons, appear
just as they are, ridiculous.
One reason the city dweller
thinks he is superior, is that he
is accustomed to seeing more at
tention paid to the appearance
of everything around him, and
the average family living in the
country does not give enough
