Rainy
Spring
Ahead

Orris Roberts, official weather OBJ
server, believes the present snowless
winter will bring a rainy spring.
HIS says: Owing to the mild wea.
ther which has prevailed over North
Dakota during December, and the abb
sence of snow, the old saying that "a
green Christmas is productive of a
full graveyard" is frequently heard
During the past twenty-one years,
or since 1898, there have been but
four Christmases, including the one
just past, with practically no snow
upon the ground. These were 1894,
1898, 1906 and 1913.
There are no data to show that this
condition had any effect upon the
death rate. but it is an interesting
fact that the precipitation for the year
following the first three dates was
above the normal, and it naturally
follows that the of 1914 may
produce more than the normal rain.
fall.
I'VE know that nature mas a way of
averaging her resources, and a dry
winter would therefore indicate q wet
spring. There has been a deficien.
cy of nearly five inches in the annual
precipitation for North Dakota during
the present year, whic should be an
added factor. in the theory that ma.
ture will equalize matters and make
the year 1914 q wet one"
