Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution here, and expert on the solar cycles of radiation, stated that the droughts of 1034 and 1936 Constitute striking evidence for the now-celebrated 23year weather cycle which he first announced three years ago. The drainage areas of the North Central section have the local peculiarity of having their least precipitation at double this 23-year cycle.
