RAIN FALL MUCH
LESS IN 1910
Average For 81 Years 81 Inches
But in 1910 Only 36.44
Inches of Water Fell

Exceptional drouth aggregating a
deficiency in rainfall of % per cent.
for the entire year, is shown in the
statistics for the year completed by
Weather Observer William Jennings.
The average aggregate precipitation
per year for the last decade has been
81 inches. The year of 1910 brought
only 36.44 inches of rain, and taken
in connection with the deficiency of
nearly 9 inches recorded last year,
completes an exceptionally dry per-
iod for more than two years. In pass
ing Mr.. Jennings mentions the fall
that terminated before daybreak this
morning, as abiut 1.81 inches. a boon
to depleted reservoirs and wells.
Mr.. Jennings observed that in De-
cember the warmest day was the
oath when the temperature climbed to
week before the 18th, when the mer-
curry dropped to / below zero in his
carefully regulated thermometer The
average temperature for the month
was 265 degrees above which he says
is considerably colder than the aver
age December. For 81 years Mr.. Jen-
nings has been making complete me-
teorological observations. During that
period he has found the average tenn
perature for December 80 degrees, just
the freezing point. December 1910, was
five and one half degrees lower, than
the mean temperature.
December's average precipitation is
4.37 inches. This includes both rain
fall and it's equivalent in melted
snow. The month just passed brought
only 2.29 inches precipitation. The
greatest rain in "a hours occurring
Dec. "a, brought 113 inches, or more
than half the fall for the entire month.
The rain storm ending this morning,
however, was less than half an inch
short OF the entire rainfall for De-
cernber. The total snowfall for Dec
ember was GA inches. There were IL
days with .01 inch or more of precipi-
tation.
Fourteen clear days, partly cloudy
and cloudy, were recorded. The pre-
Vailng wind direction was northwest.
During the year 1910, there were
four days on which the temperature
reached "a degrees Fahrenheit, July 9,
"a and 25. The minimum temper
ature was recorded On Feb. 7th, three
deerees below zero. The mean tenn
perature for the year was 51.4s degrees.
The annual range, the difference be-
tween the highest and lowest temper
atures recorded was 81 degrees.
The total snow fall for the year was
27.6 inches. which is reduced to it's
equivalent in rain and added to the
rainfall to produce the total precipi-
tatfon OF 1914 inches. During the
year there We're 149 clear days,s 143

Especial to the F'armer.)


Hartford, JAN "A runror which
percolated through the corridors of
the capitol today and which resulted
in much comment. was to the effect
that Judge Elmore S. Banks of Fair
field has notified the powers that be-
that he will not serve as House chair
man of the committee on Judiciary,
which post carries with it the House
leadership of the Republican party.
The alleged reason for this attitude
upon the part of Judge Banks was the
selection by the Republican Senators
in executive session last night in en-
dorsing States Attorney Stiles Judson
for the Senate Craftsmanship of the
Judiciary committee. which carries
with it the Senate leadership of the
majority.
That there were some grounds for
the rlrn1or was soon learned. Close
friends of Judge Banks admitted that
the report had come to them from an
authoritative source. Judge Banks
was asked by a Farmer correspondent
whether 1t was true or not that he had
refused to serve because Of the en-
dOrsernent Of JudSon.
The judge said That he did not care
question, but there as little doubt from
his manner tha,, the report is not
wholly without Foundation.
One of the prominent Republican
leaders in a talk with the Farmer cor,
respondent scents the situation thus
ly:
:, Banks believes that Ed Robbins.
general counsel of the New, Haven
road, and J. Henry Roraback, the well
known legislative agent and chief OF
the Mclean boomers. have stacked
the cards SO that Judson will be made
leader Of the Senate.
Their purpose in doing this s~to
throw a sop to the public, knowing
full we'll that they will be able to
practically pack t11e committee against
Judson. Banks had assurances that
Judson would practically be alone on
the committee as far as his influence
would extend in directing legislation.
Banks did not take kindly to The pack
ing process and said with much en-
phasis that he would not be a party
to it, that if Robbins and Roraback
wanted Judson hey could go ahead
and run the thing"
The same authority said to the Far
mer man that the only two interests
considered up to the present time is
the ORGANIZATION of both branches of
the General Assembly are the inter
ests of the New Haven road and the
George p. Mclean. He even asser, ed
that Charlie Goodwin. the defeated
Republican candidate for the Cover
norship, was dragged into the Guber-
Material race by these same interests
and that he was sacrificed in the in
tereStS of McLean'S Senatorial ambi-
ton.
From another authoritative source
which discussed the attitude Of Judge
Banks, it was ascertained that Jud-
son was not chosen by reason of any
special assistance from either Robbins
or Roraback, but in spite of anything
they could do. The question as to
whether Judson should or should not
attain to the Craftsmanship Of the ju-
dietary committee was not finally de-
termined until few moments before
the executive session of the Republi-
can Senators ended last night. The
newly elected president pro tenn, Sem
ator Woodruff, upon whom devolved
the duty of naming the Senate COM
nittees asked his colleagues to indi-

FIRST PARTY TILT
FOLLOWS OPENING
OF SENATE TODAY
Especial to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Jan. 4.-The first con-
test on the floor of the senate of a
party nature occurred shortly after
the senate re-convened following a
brief recess today
Immediately upon the opening of
the senate one of the first measures
introduced and passed was a resolu-
ton making the joint rules of the
last general assembly the rules of the
present body. The resolution passed
without any opposition.
Upon re-convening, Senator Spell
acy moved that the senate reconsider
its action. Senator Judson opposed
reconsideration on the ground that
the procedure was customary and
regular. Senator Donovan supported
the contention Of Senator Judson on
the ground that up to this time the
majority had indicated nothing that
could be construed as being unfair
to the minority. On roll call vote
asked for by Senator Mcneil the mo-
ton to reconsider was lost all of the
Democrats with the exception of
Donovan voting for and all of the
Republicans against. The motion was
lost 21 to IL.
