Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 52, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 April 1905 — A REMARKABLE MARCH. [ARTICLE]

A REMARKABLE MARCH.

The month of March, 1905, will go down in history as one of the most remarkable March months ever witnessed. Winter broke off short and sudden, and the entire month of March has passed without a single typical March day. Save for one “sap snow” the mouth has been devoid of winter or any semblance of winter, and there were no windy, blustering days at all. Farm work and garden making has been in progress for the past two weeks, and many farmers have finished sowing oats. Fruit and shade trees are beginning to put out buds and a day or two more of such warm weather as that of the past few days will cause the trees to be leafed out in full. The same conditions practically prevail the country over.
