Grainmen and crop forecasters in

vests for the agriculturalist this year.
They point to their records to warrant
their prophecy. Never in a year when
there has been heavy snowfall has
there been shortage of moisture in
the summer or a short crop, the figures
reveal.
Moisture in the ground in the early
season brings additional moisture dur.
ing the summer, is the claim. Never in
the history of the local weather bureau
has there been a greater fall of snow
than during the present winter and
never has more of it been on the
ground in February.
