WEATHER IS
DESCRIBED
University Weather Bureau
Publishes Report For:
January.

That January. 1919, was not the
warmest January on record here is
brought out in a report issued today
by Professor Howard E. Simpson of
the weather bureau at the university.
Most people. hereabouts have been in
the habit of thinking that the month
just past was more or less Of a
m~eteorogical phenomenon, but the
figures contradict this impression.
Following Is the text Of the official
report:
Unusually fair and mild weather,
for midwinter, has prevailed over
practically all portions of the country.
The snowfall has been below normal
for the seaso to date in nearly all
parts of the country except in the
Red River Valley and eastward to the
Upper Great Lakes. The result is
that the snow cover is practically
wanting except in New England, the
upper Great Lakes region westward
to the Missouri river, and in the
higher mountain areas Of the west.
Snow in the mountains is measured
generally in inches rather than in
feet. The winter wheat region is
without snow cover. but the ground
ing opportunity for continued growth.
The depth Of snow reported from sta
tons in North Dakota on January 81
was as follows: Bismarck, trace;
Williston, trace; Devils Lake, 4 inch
es; Grand Forks, S inches.
The open character of the winter
has afforded unusual opportunity fol-
continued grazing, and much hay and
other stock feed has been saved. The
open winter in this country will mean
100000 tons of fodder stuff for thu
European neutrals, as this was ar
ranged by the War Trade Board or
January "a after consulting with tht
! food administration.
Over the greater part Of the coun'
try, no opportunity has yet been at
forded for the ice harvest and onl,
in the northern tier of states from thu
Dakotas eastward to New England
has any thing like a fair supply beer
! obtained.

Neither ID this the warmest win
ter to date, though the mean tenn.

combined is 1875 degrees since the
average Of the corresponding month
Of the winter of 1SO7-S vas 1876 de-
grees and that Of 1913-l4, 1876 de-

The temperatures Of New Years
day and the three or four days fol-
lowing prevented the month from be-
on the. first and third of the month
minimum temperatures Of SO de-

weather even for January, as this
minimum has been exceeded in only
eight Januarys in the Twenty-Five
years Of record.
The coolest January day was jan
uary IL, 1912, when the thermometer
fell to-43 degrees, going down
within one degree of the coolest

Though the precipitation during
January has been but As inches,
which is 10 below normal, the excess
of snowfall during December, when
the precipitation was almost double
the normal, has left a good snow COW

much to the brightness" sand cheerful.

The impression Which this warm

visions.
1.-The bill has been talked of for
some time, n it Is not intended to
sidetrack o take powers from Miss
Nelson: in fact. h will occupy an
advisory position as relates to the
board of administration"
What about the present powers
she exercises over the schools of the
state?" Mr.. Cahill was asked.
"She does not, in fact, supervise or
administer the schools of the state
now. For instance, she doesn't have
anything to do with the schools in
Fargo or Grand Forks. Her only duty
is with respect to the country schools:
vet the people Of the cities seem to
have a good deal to say about the
election of the superintendent, when
the position doesn't directly concern
them"

Macdonald's efforts to GUST Miss

OF
GRAIN EXISTS

Word was received here today to
the effect that no grain can be shipped
to Duluth, Superior, st. Paul or Min
neapolis without first obtaining a per-
NIT from the grain control committee
in Minneapolis or Duluth. At this time
the elevators IN these cities are all
blocked. On February i there were
thirty million bushels of grain in stor-
age at Duluth and Superior and about
that amount in Minneapolis and st.
Paul. Duluth has 430 carloads of grain
on hand to unload and 600 or 500 cars
on the railroads coming in.
At Duluth there are III boats lying
in the harbor filled with grain waiting
to unload and all the elevators block-
ed, so it has become necessary to keep
a few boats empty at Duluth with
which to begin the spring movement
Of eastern business outside Of grain.
There are numerous complaints in
this county on account Of not being
able to ship grain; the railroads will
not furnish cars for it until the ship
pers nave permits, and the grain col-
troll committee will not issue permits
until the cars Of grain now on hand
are unloaded. Very little grain is go
ing from Minneapolis or Duluth ex-
cept Is -four and the only grain that
can be shipped in. is what the mills
are grinding.

The functions Of the grain control
committees are thorough and accur-

more grain is to be shipped to that

In this way there is no congestion
