The Weather Unsettled NN THE BISMARC “FORTIETH YEAR } TRIBUNE | Last Edition | BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1922 PRICE FIVE CE WEATHER NEAR NORMAL, SAYS BUREAU REPORT Comparison of This Year and Last Made By Weather Bureau CONDITIONS , ARE _ GOOD All Things Considered Outlook Is Best in Years, Accord- . ing to Report _ Reports from all parts of the State indicate weather and crop conditions nearing the normal. Winter wheat and rye came‘ through the winter in gen- erally good condition, and both crops indicate good yields. Spring wheat stooled heavily, due to wet soil, cloudy'\| weather ‘and subnormal temperature. Potato planting was unusually large this year, so much so that many coun- ty agents have advised against too large individual ‘plantings. Corn plant- ing is general throughowt the State with indications of more than the usual acreage. Ranges and pastures are excellent, affording abundant feed for livestock. Present indications point to a large hay crop, both tame and prairie. The Weather Bureau Office at. Bis- marck has tabulated data of tempera- ture and rainfall for the present cal- endar year and has made comparisons |for Nazimova and her husV¥and, Rudolph Valentino (inset), screen star and; with the normal, as well as for the spring of 1921.

The moist- ure content at the seeding. season of 1921 was, therefore, in excellent con- dition, far better than for several years. Temperature conditions, from a ‘crop standpoint. were -more’ favorable this spring than last, as the cool cloudy weather caused heavy stooling cf small grains, prevented evapora- tion, and made field work more pleas- ant. All conditions considered, the farmers of Burleigh. county were ne- ver favored with a bettgr crop pros- pect than at present.” PACKING PLANT York followed an agreement with Valentino that they would live apart until his divorce had be- come final and would then be re- married.
