Most of the severe storms do not
originate in the United States. They
come to us from the Philippines, ia
pan, Siberia, Alaska, Canada or the
Gulf of MEXICO. Our weather bureau
gets cable. Geographic or wireless
notice of a foreign storm. Station
after station of the weather bureau,
and vessel after vessel in the path Of
the storm report its arrival, so that
the general direction and the speed
with which it travels can be very
nearly determined. Some storms can
be foretold as much as ten days in
advance of their arrival at given
point.
+ When a storm from Siberia drifts
eastward arCEnd the North pole and
reappears in Alaska. the speed with
which it has veied that section Of
its course is made the basis of the
calculation Of the time when 1t should
appear in Washington and oregon,
when 1t should get to the Great Lakes
and finally to the Atlantic coast, and
each section is warned in advance
Unexpected conditions may delay the
storms or divert them from their
course. Tabs are kept on the cold
waves in much the same manner.
! The weather reports from Canada,
Iceland, Europe, Russia and Siberia
are studied and predictions made as
to when the cold waves from these
countries will reach tho United

To predict floods information Is re-
corded as to the amount of rainfall
at headwaters of streams. AS the

THOSE IN TOUCH WITH SITUATION
SAY ADMINS LOST
DoIH WAYS.
WHY MOORE RESIGNED
DID NOT WANT TO FORCE VIEW =
uRE TO RECOGNIZE HU-
ERTA All BOTTOM.

WASHINGTON, d, c.. March 13---
The resignation of John Bassett Moore
as assistant to Secretary Bryan Is still
the subject of talk, but few as yet
know the inward facts attending 1t.
The prevailing version is tina. the
wilson Bryan policy towards Mexico
did not meet his approval, and rather
than force his views. or lei them come
out as they would inevitably do. to
the detTiment of the administration,
Mr.. Moore quietly and peaceably
withdrew from the fold that he was
called to help guide.
Those who accept this view Of the
affair go further and declare that a
mistake was made in the beginning by
the administrations not recognizing
| Huerta. thus permitting the ''greasers'
to fight 1t out on their own lines. 1t
would then have been a case of dog
eat dog" and the United States
would have run little risk of en-
hroglio. 1t is well knkown that Presi-
dent Wilson refused recognition to
Hucrta on the ground that he had
murdered his predecessor. But this
has been the record of Mexico. and
most Of the South American dynasties
in the past. Acting on this high plane
it appears now that the administration
will. unintentionally bring about more
trouble and more murders, through
the waiting policy.
To Have Trouble Yet.
Those informed on the subject be-
fieve now that trouble eventui'y be-
tween this country and Mexico caanot
be avoided. The Benton affair, so far
as jystk az "a ftonaI r,lica finne
concerned, would. in all probability,
not have bothered the United States
Taking this view. some friends IF the
administration can see nothing but
ultimate failure to accomplish the
end set out by the Wilson Bryan
cabinet.
I'VE are to have trouble yet: the
good intentions have all gone
awry." Such is the opinion quietly
expressed by large portion OF the
frien of Prt sident Wilson. while po-
liticai opponents are not only firm in
the belief of the foregoing expressions.
but add to 1t that but for the i'm
minence OF trouble with Mexico and
a great desire to have the approval
by Great Britain uf our hoid-off
policy and not molested by the Ben
ton affair. President Wilson has been
forced TO recede from the tolls system
first promulgated for the Panama
canal.
1t is openly claimed that had this
country done the proper thing in the
beginning by recognizing the Huerta
administration. letting the Mexicans
fight 1t out between themselves, the ad-
ministration would have been free to
carry out Its policy in regard to free
tolls for American ships as once de-
termined. Taking this view OF 1t. The
advocates claim that the United States
has now lost out a. both ends. Sur
render to England on the toll matter
and ultimate war with Mexico.

sEEDLEsS.a TOO, AND THE RESULT
OF AGRICULTURE DEPART
MEN1~S WORK.

Recent experiments at the United
States department of agriculture have
resulted in the Introduction of a seed .
less and puckeriess persimmon, says
the Washington Post. The government
experts learned that the Japanese dis
covered an artificial method for remov-
ing the Objectionable pucker, and they
have adopted 1t with equal success to
the native varieties.
Experiments have also produced a
new Chinese peach, which, the de-
partment claims, has proved harder
than the old seeding stocks and can
be grown further north. The Chinese
peach Is not edible, but the depart
ment used only root to be worked in
with native crops. The office is pre-
pairing to distribute aboue 10000 of
these roots to nurseryinen and fruit
growers this year.
NumberIess Tests BeinE Made.
Some results of particular impor-
tance TO the fruit grower and gardener
are to be found at the Arlington ex-
perimental farm. where the govern
ment maintains field laboratories The
plant industry here is being put to
numberless tests. Fruits. vegetables.
drugs and forage crops are being raised
for purposes of study and analysis.
This farm is easily reached by troll
ley from Washington. The government
has an area of about 800 acres. and
dredging operations in the Potomac
river will eventually add seventy five
or eighty additional acres.
According to the latest report issued
by the department of agriculture.
many problems are being worked out
In the greenhouses by scientists who
are seeking cures for certain plant
diseases. and who are endeavoring to
produce more and better strains of
commercially valuable plants.

In connection with the genealogical
work the government maintains a large
collection OF fruit trees. A range Of
greenhouses is devoted to the problems
Of the florist and grower of vegeta-
bles under glass. A collection Of shrubs
and trees has been arranged about the
grounds surrounding the buildings,
producing pleasing landscape effect.
The farm has been equipped with

grounds are provided with drug

as being a most dangerous creature,

Another important enemy to agri-

under investigation by the government

OF carrying infantile paralysis, and It

The scheme for attaching lifting

feasible as far as their attractive
