MOISTURE in SOIL
IS not LACKING
OUTLOOK FOR NORTH DAKOTA
CROPS COULD SCARCELY BE
BETTER FOR 1912.

Jamestown. N. D.. Dec. 2O.--Ac-
cording to the government records
for North Dakota from January / TO
November /, there was more precipi-
tation at this point than at any other
in the state. The record shows FARO
inches Of rainfall. The eastern part
OF Stutsman county and western
Barnes had a record OF % inches.
Western Stutsman had less, and in
@thas Red River valley the rainfall
ranged from 16 to 81 inches.
There is much more moisture in
the soil in nearly every part of the
state than year ago. giving prom
Use Of good start for crops next
season.
The dry year of 1911 is shown IN
the small rainfall record in South
Dakota and west of the Missouri
river, including Montana. The an
nual average rainfall west of the Mis-
souri, river is less than necessary for
crop growing, without certain dry
farming methods being practiced.
However, for 1912 a favorable outlook
prevails throughout almost the en-
tire area of North Dakota.
