deners can profit by carefully noting
these matters. They can conduct the
cultivating for dry weather where it
has been too wet and for wet weather
where it has been too dry.
The great shortage in grain and
rough feed produced in 1911 and the
great shortage in winter wheat for
1912 can not be overcome by an aver.
age crop this year. The prospects are
that all crops of 1912 will be below
the ten-year average. Even if fair
crop, only a little below the general
average, is produced, prices must go
very high if general business con-
tues fair.
There is one other possible diff
Guilty. Those who manipulate the
worlds financial conditions for spec
ulative purposes usually select a bad
crop year in which to bring about a
depression in order that they may be
able to lay it all onto the bad crops.
If they have selected 1914 for a de-
preston, of course prices of the farm
and plantation products will not go so
high as they are liable to do if bust
ness continues good.
Our peoplt must expect short crops
sometimes and the inconvenience
that attend shortage in crop prod
ucts. 1t is a great advantage to know
when to expect these shortages We
can not prevent them, but we can pre-.
pare for them.
European governments are encour'
aging the study of sun spots, believing
that agricultural products, and partic-
ularly the prices of wheat and cotton,
rise and fall with the sun spot num-
bers. The number of sun spots has a
periodicity covering an average of a
little more than eleven years. But
that is only the average period which
fluctuates from eight to fifteen years,
To know how to forecast the sun
spot periodicity, whether the high
number of sun spots will come again
in eight or fifteen years, or in some
year between these, is the great effort
of European scientists.
am now successfully forecasting
the individual sun spot groups, when
and where they will form on the sun,
and in time l expect to work out a
system by which the sun spot cycles
will be known. This would be of very
great benefit to our race.

turbances will average lower than
usual and therefore the crop weather
will not be of the best, not as good
as the first week of May. Early May
rainfall, as predicted for the dry parts
of Kansas and Nebraska, where wheat
needed moisture, came in nicely dur
ing the week centering on May 8.

Preceding this disturbance the aver
age temperatures will be unusually
low, but the disturbance described
will start the temperatures upward
and carry them to much higher levels,
bringing much better crop weather. 1t
will also bring rains in about one
fourth of the sections east of the
Rockies. Indications are favorable to
heavy rains near the gulf coast west
of Florida.
We are now near great change
in crop weather. We have had the
floods, the extreme cold, the lorna
does and other dangerous storms,
Weather events are somewhat similar
to the pendulum and one extreme
usually follows another of the oppo.
site character. We can not reasonably
expect the heavy downpours of rain to
continue and everyone who has any
knowledge of the weather by expert
ence or tradition will expect the crop
weather to be deficient in rainfall over
those sections where the excessive
rains have fallen.
My calculations made from weather
records covering from sixty to ne hun
bred years indicate that we are com.
ing to bad ,crop weather for those sec
tons that have recently been too wet,
The program will be nearly reversed
The dry sections will get too much
rain and the wet sections not suffi-
cieut rain for best results in the grow

CLARK LEADING IN
NOMINATION RACE
The Speakers Manager Claims 1923
Instructed Deiegates-Wilson
Claims 243.
tBy Associated Press.l

Washington, May 20.-With more
than two-thirds of the delegates to the
democratic convention at Baltimore
elected, the outcome remains as much
in doubt as it did several weeks ago.
Claims made today by the managers
of the different candidates at the head
quarters in Washington made it clear
that none of them expects to control
the convention through instructed del
egations on the first ballot, even
though great strides are made for their
respective candidates in the conven-
tions and primaries still to be held.
The democratic convention will con
sist of 1884 delegates. Under the two
thirds rule applying to presidential
nominations 100 votes will be neces-
sary for any candidate to secure the
nomination. With about 800 delegates
still to be selected the strength Of the
prospective candidates was given by
their headquarters as follows:

THE OLD FRIENDS

The old friends, The old friends.
We loved when we were young,
With sunshine on their faces
And music on their tongue;
The bees are in the almond flower,
The birds renew their strain,
But the old friends once lost to us
Can never come again.
The old friends. The old friends
Their brow is lined with care,
They've burrows in the faded cheek,
And silver in the hair;
But to me they are the old friends
In youth and bloom the same
AS when we chatted in the hall,
Or shouted in the game.
The old ladies, The old ladies!
How slow they creep along,
How haughtily we scoffed at them
In days when we were young;
Their praying and their doing,
Their pirate of times gone by,
Their SILVER like an aspin leaf
If but a breath went by.
But we, we are the old ladies now,
Our blood is faint and chilli
We can not leap the mighty brook
Or climb the break-neck hill.
We wander down the shortest cuts,
We rest on stick or stile,
And the young girls half ashame
laugh,
Yet pass us with smile
But the young girls. The young girls
Their strength is fair to see;
The straight back and the sprngy
step,
The eyes as falcon free.
They shout above the frolic wind
AS up the hill they go;
But though 50 high above us now
They soon shall be as low.
O weary, weary drag the years
AS life draws near the end
And sadly, sadly fall the tears
For loss of love and friend.
But Wen not doubt there is good about
In all of human kind;
SO here's health before we go
To those we leave behind

 The democrats are divided Here be- tween Jennings and Harrais It is hard to tell which of the two is the strongest.
