By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, April 1.—Terrific dust storms may rob one State and enrich enother in the Middle West, carrying clouds of dust East to darken even Atlantic Coast cities, but Pacific Northwest farmers are rejoicing over a predicted “moist cycle.” “There are more definite indica- tions of a swing to much ‘wetter weather’ in this area than anywhere else in the Natlon” said John B. Kincer, head of the climate and crop weather service of the United States Weather Bureau, Washington, D. C. “The whole country should also ex- perience heavier rainfall in years to| come. “It's already here,” say farmers and | business men of the rich Big Ben | wheat growing area of Central Wash- ington. Weather Bureau records tend to confirm their beliefs. Severe dust storms also have swept | over the interior lands of the Pacific Northwest the past month. On a swing through the Northwest, | Kincer, whose division has 5,000 weather stations over the country, visited Wenatchee, on the edge of the Big Bend area, during the past week. A believer in the theory that there are no definite changes in climate, but rather definite cycles of variation in rainfall, Kincer said that the United States has been in a descending “‘moisture cycle” for the last 25 years. “There are indications now, how- | ever, that the bottom has been reached, | and heavier rainfall will be noticed | in the future” he said. “The North- | O F C NEW PATTERNS A HOS AND COLORS west is apparently already being favored.” Weather Bureau records show the annual average rainfall for the Big Bend area was running considerably below normal several years ago, but figures for last year show an upturn of from half an inch to almost an inch and a quarter. A similar “moist cycle” is membered two and three decades RACE HORSE.DOPE STUDY WILL BE LEFT TO STATES Decrease in Practice Cited as Rea- son for U. 8. Decision—Re- search to Continue. By the Associated Press, A conviction that doping of race horses is decreasing prompted Harry J. Anslinger, Federal narcotics com- missioner, to anndunce today that hereafter Uncle Sam will play but a limited part in efforts to smash doping rings. “We have a great deal of respect for the various State racing commis- sions,” Anslinger said. “There is no longer any apparent need for us to assume charge of this work.” “Our role from now will be to con- duct research work on the saliva test for determining whether a horse has been drugged. This is being done by the Treasury Department’s chemists. “We will co-operate with any State body at any time in any way.” He said that no investigators had been assigned to ohserve conditions at Bowie where racing resumes to- morrow and that there was no in- tention to send any to the New York tracks where racing gets under way shortly.
