Repetition of Seasons
No doubt many of our readers
have noticed the peculiarity of
rains coming almost regularly at
curtain intervals for a certain
length of time, both in the dry
nelt and in the rain belt.
I That recurring interval may
be on about a certain day in
the week for a certain number of
weeks, or in a certain part of the
day for a certain number of daysi
lor any other interval of time for
a certain number of times,
j Of course this matter of repe
' tition is not a regulur tiling, else
it would be in the text books; but
| we believe it happens frequently
j enough for our readers to recall
' the fact of Hie very striking pe-l
culiarity.
We have noticed this—-that if
the intervals are somewhat wide
a part t hey recur only a few num
ber of times, may be two, three
or four. If, though, they are close
together, as their daily, recur
rence may continue two weeks,
or on very extreme occasions a I
i month c r lore. |
This peculiarity of repetition
of precipitations—a number of
like intervals follow ng each oth
er, we have noticed also of sea
sons, and believe this to be more
common and dependable than
that an extreme of season in one
direction is followed by an ex
treme in another direction.
Beginning with ten ysars ago,
we had a few fairly good seasons.
Then followed several rather
dry years. Then came a few
seasons on the medium order.
Then came last year, the like of
whicli in this dry belt probably
comes once in fifty years.
On the principal of repetition
: the chances for a good season
this year would be fairly good,
and t-liis might lie followed by
even a third or a fourth of either
! good or fairly good seasons.
The starting oat this year
iwould seem to indicate another,
good crop year, though it wants
to lie remembered that death
'and taxes are the only things
that can be counted on as a dead
certainty.
While the indications are now I
fair, and repetitions are common,
there is a possibility that the
season may end up as one of the
j d ryest in the history of the coun
: try; and at all events it’s always
safe to farm on the basis that the
seaBOD will be dry.
Lamport
Mud in every direction as far
as the eye can see, and so much
that teaming to Elkhart, was
practically abandoned for a day
or so.
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Sanders,
three daughters. Misses Ruth,
Mabel and Martha, are ali away
from home this winter. Miss
Ruth is in Oklahoma teaching,
Mabel is in school at Tyrone, and
Martha is attending school in
Elkhart.
Greer SittoD and Louis Cohen
made a trip to the county seat
I this week as witnesses for Mrs.
Victoria Lendry, who is making
| final proof on her claim.
A dance was held in the Lam
port school house last Friday
night. We hear that a pie su ?-
per and dance is scheduled for
Feb. 27th
We wonder if it means any
■ tiling special foi a young widow
er to purchase a splendid new
top buggy, and a new suit of
clothes soon after. Will someone
tell us?
We hear that J. V. Abrams
has plowed a little almost every
day since the first of the year.
He evidently expects to put in
an early crop.
There is a rumor afloat that
"wedding bells” will soon ring
down In the Coulter and Butcher
neighborhood. Wonder who it
can be.
As we finish getting down our
items we notice that the wind
has changed to the north and the
sky is over-cast with thick
heavy clouds, but we can cnly
guess at what may follow, for
"Tomorrow the sun may he
shining,
Aitho it is cloudy today.”

tition and prices bid were steady to
strong. The spurt did not last long.
