PERSH|NG FEELING
F|TTEST IN YEARS
But General Will Remain in
HoSpitaI-AII His Teeth
Are Extracted.

By the Associated Press.
Having surrendered all his teeth
and himself unreserVedly to the care
of physicians, Gen. John J. Pershing
s is back to normal health and is feeling
3 letter now than he has for years.
Although he is anxious 10 be UP and
about again, he will remain at Walter
Reed Hospital for some time while his
5 doctors make certain that he has com
. pletely recovered from the illness that
sent him home from his post as neu-
, Jral head OF the Tacna-Arica plebisci-
( airy commission.
The general gave up his teeth in the
hght against toxic poisoning, and his
Z blood pressure, which ranged around
Z 80 points when he returned 10 Wash
: ington. has dropped to between 140
and 145 during the two weeks of treat
ment. The quiet of his hospital quar-
tors, in contrast to the continuous tur-
mou attaching to his duties in South
America, also has done much to i'm
prove PershinS's condition.
The officer who commanded the
American forces in the World War
gave himself over completely to the
physicians at Walter Reed, and he
made no complaint as they put him
through one examination and test
after another. They are satisfied with
his condition now. but they have
warned the general that d return to
South America would be dangerous
10 his health.
Friends of the officer have Joined
his doctors In suggesting that a trip
70 France, in connection with the Bat
the Monuments Commission, would be
preferable. The general himself, how.
ever. is known to be desirous of re-
turning TO Tacna-Arica to complete
his work there.

POULTRY CULLING, PARASITE
CONTROL WILL BE EXPLAINED

Not many people realize the i'm
portance of the poultry industry in
the United States. The 1924 United
States department of agriculture
yearbook places the value Of poultry
and eggs produced in the United
states at over one billion dollars
and pG:atS out that only four agri,
cultural products exceeded poultry
products in value during that year
In California the poultry indus
fry is also an important one. In
1920 there were 10400.000 hens in
California and since that time this
number has increased considerably.

ROBERTS EXPLAINS WORKINGS OF THE
WEATHER BUREAU IN TALK OVER RADIO

AS we all know, everyone is in
terested to very large extent in
probable weather conditions" said O..
W. Roberts, government meteorologlst
in charge Of the local weather bureau,
in a short talk from radio station
kFYR Thursday evening. The talk
was the first Of series Mr.. Roberts
will give on "Thc Relation of the
Weather Bureau to the Farmer"
Few of US, however. stop to appre-
ciatc how much our comfort, our
welfare and our success depend upon
the weather." he said.
while the Weather Bureau is
operated for the benefit Of all Of the
people all Of the time, its greatest
service is to agriculture and COM
MERGE, in other words, to the farmer
Ind the shipper.
"By an Act Of Congress in 1870 the
taking and telegraphing Of meteoro-
logical observations were authorized
at Government expense, and that
work was placed in the hands Of the
Signal Corps Of the Army. Realiz-
ing that the work needed to be sep
aratcd from the Military and to be
ransferred to some department
where it could be enlarged, it was de-
cided in 1890 to transfer this work
to the newly organized U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, where it has
remained ever since.
Observations Charted
"ObservatiOns are made twice daily,
at 8 II. m. and & p. M, 18th meridian
time, and code messages are tele-
graphed to the forecast centers. These.
observations are charted and the
~ k:rk II, g
located. These areas Of high and
low pressure follow well known
paths and from our knowledge of the
movements of these areas we are
able to forecast with reasonable ac-
curacy the probable weather for the
coming thirty-six hours.
"While the fundamental principles
of weather forccasting have remain
cd unchanged, many improvements
have been made in recording appara-
tus, until today the instruments used
by the Weather Bureau are highly
specialized. With the use of these
sclf-recording instruments and sound
ing balloons, and with the aid Of air.
planes and the radio, important dis
covcries in upper air conditions are
very probable within the next few
years. Steps are already underway
to greatly enlarge the scope of
Weather Bureau work, and if Con-
gress will be sufficiently liberal with
appropriations to carry out these
plans it is hoped that we will be able
to forecast probable weather condi-
tons for much longer period tim
at present.
Forecasts Distributed
There arc many methods Of distrib-
uting these forecasts in order that
they may do the greatest good to the
greatest number. Forecasts arc telc-
graphed to most Of the larger cities
.: North Dakota and distributed To-
cally and by outgoing mails. Fore
cast cards are mailed each morning
to all postmasters I'M the State, these
cards being posted in the office lob
bics Vfor the benefit Of the public.
Weather bulletins are sent to pub
lie officials for posting, to business
houses and to individuals. Wealth
CIR and temperature flags are dis
played in some Of the smaller towns
and villages. Many telephone COM
pancs throughout the State act as

Editorial Comment
Meaning a Bumper Crop
(St. Paul Dispatch)

Overwhelmed by flood of letters, so great as
to be impossible to answer, from anxious farmers
asking what he by handing out not only
dry winter but dry spring, Orris W..
Roberts, IT, S. meteorologist at Bismarck, who
has been officially observing the weather almost
ever since it began to attract attention out there,
resorts to the newspapers to reply to the farmers.
He abandons temporarily his position wealth
forecaster and becomes prophet of the crops.
1t might be better to say that he combines the
two functions in happy arrangement of mutual
subordnation with coordinate jurisdiction. Ac-
customcd to prohesy on the matter of weather and
having records upon which to base his conclusions,
he gives it out that there will be bumper crop in
the Northwest this year. The drouth is good sign.
He takes as sample the year Of 1915, when cond-
tons very similar Thc~country is allotted
just much rain. If it fails to descend in April
it will come and when it is needed namely, in May,
June and July
1t is cheerful gospel at any rate
