BUMPER CROPS FOLLOWED
TWO DRY DEFENDERS

senator Marden: I was interested in
the perusal of you review of the
weather for December In your paper
last night n the mention Of 1t being
a dry month. l recall very distinctly
that following the dry DEFENDERS Of
1885 and 1890 the two seasons. which
followed those years, were most pros
porous years for the farmers of the
Red river valley and northern Minne-
sofa, they had bumper crops each year
following the dry December. There has
only been one year since which equalled
those crops and that was in 1895 and it
should be noticed that splendid condi-
tions mentioned were just FIVE years
apart. 1t remains to be seen what the
1914 crop conditions will be following
the comparatively dry December Of
1918. We will keep it in mind.
