Snow Is Five Inche.
Deeper Than Normal;
High Waters Probable

Bismarck, N. D.. Feb. lion Feb
ruary Is, North Dakota had an ex-
cess of Ave inches of snow above nor
NAL, according to w. w. Roberts. gov
eminent m~eterologist, with headquar-
ters here. Most of this excess over
the normal for the winter months is
due to the fall Of nine inches in Mo-
vember and of eight and one-half
in the first fifteen days of Feb
ruary.
Because Of the small amount Of
thawing weather experienced since
the beginning Of snow fiurries, most
OF the snow is still on the ground in
the, protected places, has been blown
into the hcllows or is in big drifts on
the higher ground. This condition is
considered as preliminary5t to high wa
tiers when the snow begins to melt in
the annual, spring breakup.
While it. is conceded that the large
amount of now win aid in supplying
moisture for. vegetation, MI. Roberts
considers that the SHOWS OF March and
early April are the e which aid
most nzthe production OF crops, es-
pecially wheat.
