Four More Dry Years Likely, Weather Record ecord Study Shows

Drought ‘History Shows. Average Average Duration: of 10° Years; ‘Wet! Phase of Cycle Scheduled for 1940.

BY TRISTRAM COFFIN Indiana farmers who watched the sun dry out their fields and wither their crops, theoretically might just as well prepare for four

more dry years.

J. H. Armington, Federal meteorologist, said a study of ' drought

conditions made by J. B. Kincer,

chief of the United States Climate

and Crop Bureau, showed that widespread droughts may occur in 10-

year periods. The last 10-year drought was in 1885-95, a period which brought temperature extremes of 101 in 1887 to —15 in 1893 in Indianapolis. Indianapolis temperatures have shown a wide fluctuation since:1930, beginning of the theoretical 10-year dry period. In 1930 the mercury ranged from 101 to —15. This year

recorded the greatest fluctuation,

106 to —18 thus far. Periods Are Similar

Just as dry periods may occur in 10-year periods, so may moist periods. Mr. Armington pointed out that. fram 1910-20 the precipitation was above gormak. «LM . Pointing‘ But ‘the . similarity ‘between the : within

CLAIMS

the last 100 years; Mr; Kincer in his

bulletin said that in, each of the’

periods there was one year with good rainfall. They were 1892 and 1935. Indianapolis Weather Bureau records show that from 1872 to 1880 the temperatures never :rpse above 97, and with the exception of 1874, the minimum was always above —10. From 1882 to 1886, the maximum did not rise above 95 and the minimum temperatures were —10, —11, —25, —11 and —15. Years in which the mercury rose to 100 or. above since 1872 were 1881, 1887, ae ‘1911, 1913, 198, :. 1916,

The _ ‘high temperatures were grouped closely together in the 10Jou moist period. and :again since 9 ‘ There is no ‘apparent reason for dry spells or. wide extremes in temperatures, Mr. Armington said. Most of the ¢ool air that reaches Indian-
