Rainfall Below Normal

Huron-The weather bureau of this
city has given out a list Of figures on
precipitation in South Dakota show
ing hat the yea 1910 has been far
below the normal for many years, and
yet the crop in the state is only slight
ly below the normal one, the infer
ence being that 1t is not the amount
OF precipitation which counts nearly
SO much as it is the time and manner
of its coming. This same fact was
emphasized several years ago by John
H. Baldwin, when he was commission
err of irrigation in the state. In his
report for 1898 he mentions such a
condition, and calls attention to the
fact that if the farmers, In what was
then supposed to be the artesian belt
Of the state in the Jim river valley,
would arrange to supply their crop
with q small amount of artesian va
ter just at the period when it needed
they could be certain Of a crop every
year His position at that time be
ing that the total precipitation for
the year was not a standard upon
which a crop year could be based, but
that year with lighter precipitation
secured at the proper time would as
sure a good crop. This year has GER
tainly carried out the theory which
was advanced by Baldwin in the time
of the drouth years Of the ~"nineties."

BALLOONS
Weather Man at Huron Will Send Up
instruments by Method

Weather Man at Huron Will Send Up
Instruments by Method
Huron-Some time early in August
of this year the United States weather
bureau cOntemplates sending up from
this city, a number of what are known
as sounding balloons" in order to
ascertain the condition of the atmos-
phere at great elevations as compar-
ed with that at the earth's surface.
These balloons are constructed of rub
Der and when inflated with hydrogen
gas measure from 6 to 8 feetin
diameter, and have a lifting capacity
Of from 6 to 10 pounds. Each balloon
carries with it a light wicker basket
containing a delicately constructed in
strument, which automatically records
he temperature, pressure, and humid
ity in the region of the atmosphere to
which the balloon ascends, which Is
in some cases as much as II to Is
miles above the surface OF the earth.
Attached to each balloon and has,
ket Is a parachute. The decreasing
density Of the atmosphere as the bal
loon ascends permits the expansion OF
the hydrogen gas to finally explode
the ballon, thereby releasing the para
chute, which gradually descends to
the earth and safely lands the basket
containing the instrument, the latter
having faithfully made its record at
every stage of it's progress through
the air.
Attached to the basket is a card
containing detailed instructions for
whoever may find it, and Offering COM
pensation for it's return by express,
at the expense of the government, to
some designated office of the United
States weather bureau.
1t is very important that the finder
of one of these baskets should not in
any way tamper with the instrument,
as the record made by 1t is delicately
traced on a smoked cylinder, and any
obliteration Of this record would ma
t~erially affect, if not wholly destroy,
its value.
The weather bureau has to depend
for the results of theseascensions
upon the chance of someone finding
and returning the basket and instru-
ment. Out Of thirteen ascensions
made last year at Omaha, Neb., all
but one OF the baskets and instru-
ments was found and returned as d.
rected.
The finder Of one OF these baskets
will not only greatly aid in meteoro-
logical research, but will as we'll con-
fer favor upon the United States
weather bureau, by closely following
the instructions attached to the bas-
ket.
The descent Of the balloon para
chute and basket, as well as the
ascent of the balloon, should be close
ly watched for by interested persons,
as the balloon moves rapidly and In
most cases soon passes out OF sight.
In some cases the basket and lnstru-
ment have been found from three to
four hundred miles distant from the
place Of ascent.
