trihutor to the current issue Of Farm
and Fireeide writes az follows:
II am not q weather expert or an
old or weather-wise man. but I think
| have three very good reasons for
a late or backward spring namely:
First. deep SHOWS until late win
ter.
"6econd, deep frozen ground.
Third, a constant drive of polar
winds southwark.
MY reasons for these: First and
the greatest cause 10 deep SHOWS. the
snow prevents the ground from freez-

II thoroughly saturates the earth with
Icy water which must be warmed be-
fore the earth can receive spring,
which Is ruled by the Iateness OF tho
thaw.
Second, deep and hard. frozen
ground. The frost must be drawn to
the surface 10 be melted. and much
Of this water has to DO evaporAted by
the air. ara.'>
Third, and a very frequent. cause
