Washington representative of the Amer

that he cannot afford to raise the food

Starting in March. 1920. Mr.. Silver
said, the federation had grown to Il

The farmer used to find that the
only ways he could get any consid-
Grafton of farm problems" he con
tinued, was by buttonholing q con-
sressman and pulling him around the

farmers. and as result today we
have the so-called agricultural bloc
in Congress, which works across
party lines and in the open for farm
interests.
"We are not opposing the middle

do insist that the toll they take must

Mr.. Silver also spoke vigorously OF
the bitter opposition to Henry Ford's
Muscle Shoals proposition and of the
proposed tariffs on fertilizer.
The same selfish group which is
opposing the manufacture of this fer

plant is responsible for the s12 fiat

argument is that the infant American

1910, 49.7. and 1920. sos.
1t will be ,neted, the official points
out, that the warmest three periods
are those ending in 1900, 1910 and
1920. and that the coolest decade i'm
mediately follows the second warm
est.
Considering the individual months
and the individual years, 1t is found
that the coldest January occurred as
late as 1887. The coldest February
occurred eight years after the warm
est one. The coolest March was as
late as 1870 and again in 1885. The
coolest April was in 1874 and many
years after the warmest one. The
lowest in May was in 1912, 1915, 1870
and 1882. The highest figures in June
are in 1873, 1890, 1903 and 1876. In
July the lowest was in 1876, with the
warmest as early as 1880 and equaled
in 1876.
The coolest August occurred sixty
one years after the warmest/ In Sep
tember the coolest months are in the
earliest years, but for October, No
vember and December the coolest
year came after the warmest year in
each case.
These figures seem to indicate very
clearly, the weather official says, that
since the time of the revolutionary
war. at least. there has been no per-
manent change in temperature.
