JOURNAL FOLKS
HAVE Big DAY
ON PICNIC PARTY

With a diversified program of
sports. and entertainment, which
could be participated in or enjoyed
by every member of the party, the
picnic party of the Kennebec Jour-
nal employees and their families to
Mt. Vernon, on Saturday was a most
memorable occasion with over 100
making the trip by automobile to
the little village on the shore of
Minnehonk Lake.
So complete in every detail had
been the preliminary plans of the
several committees that when the
weather of Saturday forenoon con-
tinued not only uncertain but
threatening, with the heavens weep
ing discouragingly an hour before
the time the motor convoy was
scheduled to start, the grounds COM
mittee stepped into the breach and
announced that the scene of the
monster picnic lunch and early festi-
vities would be in the ODD Fellows
hall at Mt. Vernon, instead of at
Browns Point on Echo Lake as orr
ginally planned.
The traffic committee under the
efficient and comprehensive direction
of Circulation Manager Ed Byron
ordered each car diverted from the
posted route at West Mt. Vernon,
and the entire thirty machines
reached the new destination a half
hour before the noon hour.
Captain Lester M. Hart was i'm
| mediately in evidence with a mon
ster megaphone and aided by Harry
E. Farnham, a program of compe-
titive events was carried out for the
| women and for the men of the big
party, in the wide roadway in front
| of the /. o. o. F. hall. The events
| were all closely contested and the
winners were all awarded most &C
ceptable prizes.
At noontime, Leigh D. Flynt's
hard working committee permitted
the hungry army to enter the dining
hall, where the long tables had been
| spread with what most modestly
termed picnic lunch" but which
all declared to be a veritable BAN
| quet. There were hot baked beans
| and brown bread, pickles, cheese,
| rolls, doughnuts. coffee, oranges,
bananas, and cold bottled sodas. And
to top the sumptuous repast off pro-
perly, there was candy for the ladies

If the predictions of the scien-
lists are borne out, vital changes
will take place in several parts of
the world, including the United
States. Indeed, the reports indi-
cate that such changes already
are in process.
The Humboldt current flows
northward along the west coast
of South America. 1t originates
in Antartic water and, therefore,
is a cold stream of water flowing
through the ocean. For centuries
in fact, throughout known his
tory-this current has held an
unaltered course. 1t flowed
northward about as far as Peru
and then turned seaward.
Probably the first change came
about six to eight months ago.
The result was that the current
swerved out to sea to some ex-
tent and plunged farther north
ward than ever before. This had

climate grew hotter to an extent
varying from 10 to 20 degrees
according to the reports which
have been received at different
times and torrential rains set in
causing tremendous damage to
property, to crops and to some
human lives. This, as reported
previously, was thought to be
about the extent of the effects.
Further study has revealed the
causes of the change and this, in
turn, has shown other changes.

Approximately $247,500 is the
value of the Valencia onion crop
grown this season in Cochise coun-
ty, Arizona, according to Lee c.

zona Industrial congress.
The growing of the big sweet
Spanish or Valencia onions this
season is most important agrl-
cultural pursuit, stated Mr.. McCul-
Tough, approximately 275 acres
being devoted to the crop. This
years crop is exceptionally good,
according to reports from the dis
trict, and growers estimate they
will produce an average of 20,-
900 pounds of onions 20 the acre.
The markets also are reported
as favorable for the growers, real
izing a good profit, and the grow
ers are assured of four and one
half cents per pound for this
years output. The acreage in
Cochise county devoted to the
Valencia onion crop this year is

/ Africa. Of these, South America
extends farthest south. The west
erly blowing Antartic winds start
ed current of sea water flowing
with them. This current reached
the tip of South America and
found an obstruction. 1t also
there met the beginnings Of the
northward flowing Humboldt cur
rent. The inevitable result was
f, that the Humboldt current was
greatly increased in volume by
vast quantities of frigid Antartic
water. This enhanced both it's
volume and velocity and lowered
tits temperature. Flowing with
increased speed it naturally
plunged farther north than pre-
viously, carrying a tremendous
quantity of very cold water to un-
Hrecedently high latltudes.
This cold water, meeting the
warm air and warm water of the
equatorial regions, brought aboct
the rains.
The ocean has many currents,
flowing northward from the An
tartic. One flows up the western
coast Of Australia. The freshen-
ing effect of the westerly there,
the second continent to experience
the effect. Still another current
flows northward along the west
coast of Africa. The effect of
these winds and freshened cur
rents on these three continents
has been that portions of South
America have had the heaviest
rains in the history of mankind;
so far, western Australia has had
the heaviest rains in eight-six
years, and South Africa has had
the heaviest in fifty years.
A matter of special interest in
connection with the African cur
rent is that it, too, is expected to
affect the United States. This
current will flow with greater
force and volume in a northwest
erly direction, reaching America
1t will influence the Gulf stream. N
and, thereby, the climate of the
eastern part of the United States.
The Gulf Coast also will be af-
fected and the scientific predic-
ton is that a climatic change will |
occur which will cause rains to
fall in what now is called the
Great American Desert, the region
embracing portions of Arizona and
New Mexico. Artificial irriga-
tlon has shown that the soil of
this region is highly productive if

would furnish the needed mois.
