EXPERTS EXPLAIN
FREAK|SH WINTER
Phenomenon Caused By
Cold Air from North,
Warm Mass from
Tropics

Washington, Jan. 27.-(AP)-Gov-
eminent weather experts blamed to-
day the freak winter weather on per-
sistent movements of cold dry air
from the polar regions and warm
moist air masses from the tropics.
r. Hanson Weightman, meteoro-
logist, said these air movements had
brought Aub-zero temperatures and
record breaking cold in the west, and
the destructive floods in the central
part of the east.
He added it was usually warm in
east when cold in the western part
of the United States.
When the cold dry air mass from
the north meets the warm moist ali
from the south, precipitation always
follows, he said. The persistence OF
these air movements during this
month has been abnormal.
r. j. Martin, another weather bu-
reau expert, said precipitation over
the Ohio river basin and other flood
areas had been 1.-TWO to six times the
normal amount" during January.
"Some stations have had more than
% inches of rain this month, com
pared with a normal of less than
inches" he said.
His charts showed Johnsonville,
Tenn, had reported 23.11 inches of
rain in IS days of the month, or 1877
inches above normal.
Martin said that government sta
tons in Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana,
and other areas reported an excess of
rainfall VARYING from more than nine
to more than 10 inches above normal.
w. J. Moxom, director of the flood
forecasting service, said abnormal
rainfall early in january had saturat-
ed the ground so that the run-off of
additional precipitation was near
maximum.
He said the floods in January were
not unusual.

sive Farmer, than on any other sin
gle factor except the acknowledged
potency of President Roosevelt's plea
for ratification.
Observers here have been outspok-
en- in their admiration of the tactics
and strategy followed by the ratifica-
ton advocates. They are of the OPP
iniOn that the campaign has cen UNI
usually well timed and expertly di-
rected. Concededly the opposition of
farmers has been the big stumbling
block to ratification in North Caro-
lima and it is believed that DR.. Poe s.
statement will go long way in allay-
ing the fears of Tar Heelia's farm
folks that their children will not be
permitted to do their chores around
the place and that Federal shoppers
will overrun the land looking into
every body's business.
DR.. Poe's statement, distributed by
William G. Lassiter, Raleigh attorney
who has directed the ratification cam
paign, cited the opinions of President
Roosevelt and of Secretary of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace and con-
cluded:
I'm my opinion the farmer of North
Carolina who is looking for wise lead
ership in this matter will make no
mistake in following the combined
judgment of such a Democratic lead
er as President Roosevelt, such a
Republican leader as Senator Borah,
such great Independent aus Senator
Norris, and such an able agricultural
leader as Secretary Wallace. They all
ask North Carolina to ratify."
