NAY DRYEST ON
RECORD UNLESS
RAIN GETS BUSY
Only One Hundredth of an Inch
Precipitation Has Been Re-
corded to Date
CROPS NOT SUFFERING
FROM DROUTH TO DATE

Unless the rainmaker turns loose
his wares in North Dakota within the
next three days, May, 1917, with .01
of an inch precipitation will 60 down
in history as the dryest May central
North Dakota has experienced in the
AZ years the United States weather
bureau has been established at Bis
marck. And at that, May will end
with an accumulated deficiency of
moisture Of but 19 inches, and with
growing crops in as fine condition as
they ever have been known at this
season of the year.
The rainfall for April was 1877, an
excess Of .23 inches. March had
but go, a deficiency of .43, and the
deficiency for May, with but .01 of an
inch rainfall, is whopper, but the
unusually heavy snowfall of January
and February almost evens up mat
tiers, making the accumulated defici-
ency nothing to worry about.
Lowest on Record
Providing no rain falls before mid
night Thursday, Mays precipitation
of OF of an inch will be by far the
lowest on record. The next lowest
precipitation for May was .04 inches
in 1901, and the only other May which
approached this minimum was that of
1890, when but 81 inches of rainfall
was reported. ~kz
In June, 1901, following an abnorin-'
ally dry May, there was n inches
rainfall, we'll above the normal Of
3 go for that month. In June, 1890,
another year of early drouth, the pre-
cipitation was $40 inches. Farm
ers recall 1901 as an excellent crop
year when there was a particularly
fine yield Of flax, and they state that
spring conditions now are much the
same as they were that year.
In 1915, North Dakota's banner crop
year to date, 4.43 inches Of rain fell
in May, and $40 inches in June. The
precipitation throughout that year
was the greatest recorded since 1876.

Matty and His Reds.

In the middle of the week Christy
Mathewson at last drove his Reds into
a 500 count. less than four games back
of third place.
No extended publicity has been
awarded the Reds this season. but in
a quiet. unobtrusive way Mathewson
has been holding his club at highc'
level than it has known for a good
many fleeing summers.
1t has now been IA years since the
Reds finished as high as third and in
the last dozen years they have fin
ished in the first division but twice.
This is n record Of trouble and dis
aster well beyond the ordinary. But
there is good chance now that Matty
will finally land his clan in the first
division and that he may even finish
just under the Giants and Phillies, who
are setting all the pace there happens
to be in sight. Matty has one star
pitcher, one or two good ones, and a
club with the punch. The Reds are
outbatting them all at present, and the
ancient wallop Is still vital factor.
Considering the depressing fact that
the Reds finished in a tie for last place
last season. it would be no light
achievement to hoist them back into
the first division his first complete

Granite county used to be a big
silver producer. The mines at Granite
employed hundreds of men, and much
OF the ore was reduced on the spot.
The depreciation of silver, however,

and the mines were closed. Granite
county went into a period of inactivity
