jamestown, n. D., Dec. 20-Accord-
ing to the government records for
North Dakota from January / to No
vember 1 there was more precipita-
ton at this point than at any other
in the state. The record shows 1910
inches Of rainfall. The eastern part
Of Stutsman county and western
Barnes had a record of twenty-five
inches. Western Stutsman had less,
and in the Red river valley the rain
fall ranged from sixteen to twenty
m inches.
There Is much more moisture in the
soil in nearly every part Of the state
thai a year age giving promise of a
good start for crops next season.
The dry year of 1911 is shown in
the small rainfall record in South Da-
kota and west of the Missouri river,
including Montana. The annual aver
age rainfall west of the Missouri river
Is less than necessary for crop grow
ing. without certain dry farming
methods being p%racticed. However,
for 1912 n favorable outlook prevails
throughout almost the entire area Of
North Dakota.
