Record of Sunshine.

J. p. Kincer of the weather bureau
has just published in the Monthly
Weather Review a valuable analysis Of
the available sunshine records of this
country. He presents charts and
graphs showing for all parts Of the
United States the mean solar time OF
sunrise and sunset the average length
Of the day, sunrise 10 sunset, for differ
ent seasons Of the year; the average
for each month In the year, of the daily
amounts Of sp.shins. In hours; the sea-
sonal and annual amounts In percent
age Of the maximum possible; the
yearly percentage of clear, partly
cloudy and cloudy Gays. Data of this
character is comparatively scarce, for
the reason that The instruments re-
Qulred to make these records are very
delicate and require expert attention.
A great deal Of meteorological observa-
ton work Is done by amateurs or vol
unteers who are not equipped with the
necessary apparatus for accurately re-
cording the periods OF sunshine.

have been forested, for here and there
are discovered stumps of trees as
much as two feet In diameter
Discovery of these old stumps led
the United States forest service to be-
lleve that trees might be made to
grow there again. Accordingly, the
experiment was begun about eighteen
years ago, and, as result, about five
thousand acres of young forest have
been successfully established Some
of the trees today are as much as
twenty-five feet high.
The trees planted in this area are
all of them of coniferous varieties
jack pine, Norway pine and yellow
pine. AT Halsey, Neb., is maintained
a nursery, which produces two million
of these little trees each year.
For planting them, novel method
is adopted. Instead of setting each
little tree in hole by itself, pillow
is run along through the sand, and
the baby trees are planted In a row
in the furrow.
