_ Absence of Snow Indicates Record-Breaking Drought Will | [LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR | ° , Subterranean moisture. 2 _ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1931 PRECIPITATION OF RAIN AND SNOW IS FAR BELOW MEAN) New England Area Is Only Sec-| tion Which Has Had Rea- sonable Moisture EVEN CANADA REMAINS BARE, Snowfall Is Vitally Important to Soil of Farm Lands, Ex- perts Find By FREDERIC J. HASKIN Washington, D. C., March 6.—That the record-breaking drought of 1930 not only will continue through 1931, but be intensified, is the threat hang- ing over the United States at this! »season. Even if normal rains do , occur during the spring and summer, short crops or even complete crop failures in some sections are indi- cated. This will be due to the continu- ation of the drought during the win- ter months. The average man, espe- cially the city dweller, does not think of drought in the winter time because | the weather is colder and the absence of cooling rains is not felt. Never- theless, this year the drought has continued right on through the win- ter, precipitation of rain and snow! being far below normal over prac- tically the entire country. Only one section appears to have escaped the blighting effects of drought. That is the northeastern region, principaily New England. i ‘That region did not suffer from lack | of rain last summer and this winter the snowfall hasbeen normal. It is curious irony that this region could , get along without precipitation better than almost any other for it is the manufacturing workshop of the na- tion, its wealth springing from me- chanical industries, being far in ex- cess of its agricultural wealth. Yet the rain and snow have fallen abun- dantly on the rockstrewn fields of abandoned New England furms, while the rolling wheat fields of the west have remained arid. ‘Snow is vitally import: soil of farm lands, Normally, snow begins to fall over a larg section of the United States in the iate autumn. The earlier snows melt but, as the season advances, the snow lies and each succeeding fall makes a deeper cover. When successive warn spells occur—notably the February thaw— melting begins. The snow seeps slow- ly down into the ground. irrigating the subsoil. Slow meeting prevents the draining off of the moisture. It seeps gradually down, softening the earth to a considerable depth. Snow Water Necessity fter the last snows. the melting roceed so rapidly that the snow normally has sunk into the ground to prepare it for the spring planting. Summer rains moisten the surface soil. Seldom are they of long encugh duration to irrigate the subsoil, When snow does not fall in ample volume and when the subsoil is not reached it hardens. Then, no matter how plenteous the summer rains may be they are unable to make up the lost If torrential, such rains are all the more likely to wash off the topsoil—plants and all— if the soil deeper down is hard. Another aspect. Supplies of water for the reservoirs of many cities come from mountain snows which melt gradually, through the spring and even into the summer, draining off into the streams. Of as great im- portance are the supplies for the western irrigation systems. Save in a very few cases where supplemental supplies of water are obtained from artesian wells of unusual capacity, the great irrigation’ projects of the west are fed by snow water from the hills. A light snow cover in the win- ter inevitably means a short supply of water for the reservoirs, dykes and ditches. It is not out of the question that some irrigation projects will have to be entirely abandoned in the forthcoming summer. Examination of the snow maps of the United States Weather Bureau for the winter months of 1930-31 is dismaying. _ These maps chart the snow line, In normal years this line drifts in irregular curves across the United States, coming down to a point below the Ohio river in the east and, in the west, following ap- proximately the southern boundary of Nebraska. It dips far south in the Rocky mountains, mounting north- ward again on the Pacific coast. This winter the snow line has shown the most extraordinary departure from usual performance. In the northeastern section it holds fatrly true to form. New Englandand New ‘York and parts of Pennsylvania ap- pear to have had a normal fall of snow but as the snow line proceeds westward it displays the most aston- ishing vagaries. Beginning at about the Mississippi river, it starts north- ward and, certain weeks disap- pears over the Canadian border. STICKERS to the | tain passes time within memory.

The altitude in- sures that. The snow line, therefore, turns south in the intermountain re- gion. But on the Pacific coast it disappears to the northward again. Canada Lies Bare . Even in the Rockies the fall had ; been unusually light this winter. Old residents report that certain moun- are open for the first as much as 60 feet deep have existed in normal winters, the ground is bare or merly dusted with powdered snow containing a minimum of moistuz The big lift of the snow line is in the wheat belt. It is there that the line disappears off the map to the | flake of snow over groups of states. | Wheat depends very largely on snow- ‘fall. The snow cover keeps the ger- minating seed from freezing and sof- tens the earth for the springing | plants. Without snow. there is much 'of what is called winter-killing and leven if the seed survives the cold, | spring finds the ground hard and unyielding and inhospitable to the pushing roots. Information from the great wheat region of western Canada is to the same effect. The great wheat prairies lie bare of snow for miles. ‘he weather has been unseasonably An indication of the abnormality is shown in a report on that territory to the Washington authorities saying that all records for high temper- | atures have been broken.

He was elected on a no-party ticket, but he had cam- ;Paigned as an avowed socialist. In the spring of 1917 Van Lear de- clared he could not support President | Wilson's war policy. In August, 1917, he caused a storm of protest from patriotic organizations when he spoke at Glencoe, Minn., opposing the send- ing of an American army to France. Although he sought reelection, Van | Lear was defeated. Later he became ‘a lecturer for the Nonpartisan league. Van Lear came to Minneapolis 34 | years ago from Ashland, Wis.

Bismarck Tribune: a aving read the various letters and articles published in the People’s Forum, from all sorts of people, and upon all sorts of issues, I notice that a great deal has becn said about cap- | itol removal and building, educational requirements for teachers, farm re- lef, and capital punishment. ‘With many of these I fully agree, but I wonder why no one has yet brought before the Forum the great- est farm relief which it would be pos- sible to give to our farmers? That, in my opinion, would be a just appor- tionment of road taxes both for the building and maintenance of our highway system. I maintain that farmers are un- taxed for the building and maintenance of highways, inasmuch ‘as they do not use such roads nearly as much as do truck and bus lines who pay the same amount of license for @ two-ton truck. The farmer's truck hauls from 50 to a hundred loads a year over the highways, while the truck and bus lines’ equipment is constantly: in service, in some cases day and night. Which should the most for upkeep, the farmer hauls 50 to 75 tons @ year, or transportation company whose icks haul from one to 20,000 tons the public highway? Why not the farmer a fair break on this taxing trucks and trailers, and lines on a gross tonnage or earn- basis? There are others besides the farmer Bi pEL ELLE highway upkeep. I noticed in the Tribune a fac-simile of a check for more than $100,000.00 paid to Bur- leigh county by the Northern Pacific Railway company. In addition tothis they paid a special assessment tax for city. pavement. The railroads are our best taxpayers. Nearly 40 per cent of their tax goes to maintain schools. Is it just to tax them for the benefit of roads on which bus and truck transportation is carried on in competition to them? Do the people realize that in the last year 300,000 men have been laid off by the railroads of this country on account of the inroads of revenue Minnesota, Traill, North Dakota, to construct a bridge across the Red river on tha boundary line between Minnesota and North Dakota. caused by this unfair competition? Do our merchants and manufsctur- ers understand that these 300,000 men cannot purchase their goods while mployed? wgere are @ few tax facts from Kan- sas City.
