WEATHER GOES Hold That Pose a Second

ON STRANGEST WINTER SPREE

Chief Federal Forecaster Doesn't Know What To Expect Now.

By United Press WASHINGTON, Feh. 26.—The weather this year already has broken more records than in any similar length of time in the history of the U. S. Weather Bureau, | according to J. B. Kincer, chief | forecaster. January was a record-breaking month for moisture, heat, cold and drought, Mr. Kincer said. It was a month of extreme contrasts. Floods inundated parts of the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, while the northwestern plains states suffered from drought. “With this as a starter, it is hard to tell what to expect for the remainder of the year,” Mr. Kincer said. “Beneficial moisture has fallen over large sections of the 1936 drought belt, but others still are abnormally dry.”

Fruit Crops Suffer

Fruit crops have suffered from too much warmth in Florida and too much cold in California. Unusually warm weather in the southeastern states caused many fruit trees tc bloom in January. Freezes not known for many years caused heavy damage to California | fruit and vegetables. In the Ohio Valley 60,000,000,000 | tons of water, enough to cover the | entire area to a depth of more than 16 inches, fell during the first | three weeks of January, Mr. Kincer estimated. This was half the normal rainfall for the year and an all-time record for a like period. The flood caused official attention |

The Indiana Democratic Editorial Association will hold its winter meeting and banquet at the Claypool Hotel April 10, it was ans | nounced today by Scott W. Cham- | bers, Newcastle, president.

The meeting originally was scheduled for Feb. 6, but was postponed | because of the flood. | The Republican Editorial Associa- | tion has selected the same date for its annual banquet here, Mr. Chambers said the only change in plans for the Democratic writers’ banquet is that former Governor McNutt, scheduled as a speaker, will not be able to appear. He will be en route to the Philippines. Governor Townsend, Senator Frederick VanNuys and Senator Sherman Minton are to speak. Mr. Chambers is to be toastmaster at the banquet in the Claypool’s Riley Room,

PARIS, Feb, 26.—Dr. Bernhard

flood control and soil conservation. | H. H. Bennett, chief of the soil con- | servation service, estimated 300,000, | 000 tons of top soil were away by the flood drainage basin. Mr. Bennett said that on vated land of average slope, 95 per cent of January rainfall ran off. On grass land only 25 per cent of the water ran off. The 127.000,0%0-acre | Ohio drainage basin, once 98 per | cent forest, now is only 37 per cent forested. Huge Loss of Soil Bennett estimated approximately 65 per cent of the area is moderately eroded. Four per cent, or more than 5,000,000 acres, is severely eroded, and only 23 per cent | is not eroded, he said. Loss of top | soil during the January floods was as high as 10 tons to the acre on many farms not covered by the water. Arguing the benefits of terracing, Mr. Bennett said a department of agriculture near Hamilton, O., indicated that comtour cultivation, strip cropping, and farm check dams effectively controlled erosion and reduced the amount of runoff water by 75 per cent. | By widespread application and | combination of proper land management and of upstream and downstream engineering work, we can
