The year 1915 had neither spring,
summer, nor autumn. The only
crop of corn raised in that part of
Vermont that summer was saved
by keeping bonfires burning around
the cornfield night and day."
An analysis by Professor w. ],
Milham of the meteorological rec
ord kept at Williamstown, Mass,
shows that, at that place. the aver
age temperature of the whole year
was only little below normal and
was actually higher than that OF
several later years.
The summer months were all
much colder than normal, but In
cIuded some periods of exceptional
warmth. The year was not actually
one without a summer, but one In
which the summer included some
spells of decidedly wintry weather.
