 The sleeping quarters were being made up as the Patriot representa- tive sped by. The hunks are in pairs and tive high. fourteen in all They were covered with clean grey blank cts as winter Is coming on. Every thing looked neat, of good quality and well kept. One man does the chamber work.
 There were five tanks in one car. These tanks contain high grade mo tor oil and floor ell. The gasoline, kerosene and cheaper grades of oil are supplied from the tank cars toward the rear. Here also are the box cars in which junk and scrap is picked np.

tains even in comparison with "old-
fashioned" weather.
In the same period. the tempera-
ture was above normal on the At
lantic coast, thus keeping up the
equalization process despite weather
trends.
The only indication of an actual
weather change, Professor Marvin
says, does not involve the question
of warmer or colder weather in
general, but an advance of winter
into spring. More than sixty years
ago, Elias LOOMS and H. A. Newton
made an analysis of weather OBJ
servations recorded at New Haven
from 1778 to 1865. They found Jan
10 was the average coolest day for
the long period.
Recently Professor Marvin made
similar calculation for New Haven
and eastern United States for the
period, 1870 to 1919, and found that
the average coolest day was Jan
10. The experiment would indicate

thermometer is only about 200 years
old and while few systematic OBJ
servations were recorded in the
eighteenth century, they were only
for isolated places, here and there.
Records covering a wide area of
the United States have been COL
lected only since 1870, when the
United States weather bureau was

Professor Marvin points out that
conditions usually held to prove
that climate in changing merely
constitute weather trends. The re-
currence of these trends in the
past sixty years form the basis for
the claims that winters are not
what they were and the summers
not nearly SO hot. Since 1920, of
example, winters have been unusu-
ally mild, but only in little over
half of the United States.
To establish usual or normal
temperature for a district, the av-
erage of forty years must be taken,
Marvin declares, and the statement

chief declares, constitute merely a

Such a period he says, may be
like a sudden cold snap in a mild

season of prolonged drought-just
a kink in the record.
We shall have to watch the
weather for another forty or fifty
years before We can know the mean
ing of the recent winters and
whether they mark a real trend.
Perhaps, after we have accumu-

CITRUS EXPERTS
PAY VISIT TO

A group of citrus experts have
been visiting citrus ranches in the

Riverside Citrus Experiment station
and nov engaged in studying root

lor, director of the Riverside station,
and Howard Pressey manager of the
Spaulding citrus ranch in Ventura

DIR. Webber has been interested
in looking over experiments being
carried on under his supervision in
the valley, local ranchers cooperating
III the work.
The first of these projects is that
of citrus variety trials, new varie-
ties are being tried out for the pur-
pose of investigating the possibility
of an early variety that at the same
time would be commercially profit
able. Harry James, Clarence Con-
ant, Francis Heiny and the Harsh
man ranch near Brawley are coop
Grating in the experiment and an
independent one is being conducted
by c. j. Claussen of Brawlev.
Grape fruit root stock experiments
are also being conducted. Buds
from one tree only are used so that
the tops will be uniform but buds
are worked on Is or more different
root stocks. The seed from which
the root stocks are grown came
from certain marked trees ot the
Riverside Citrus Experiment station
so that if any trees are exceptional,
farmers can go to Riverside and take
buds from these specified trees in
order to grow their own seed for
root stocks which will be exactlv
like those in the experiment.
