MORE DKOI OUT AHEAD IN WEST STUDY SHOWS WASHINGTON (UP)-The north central states probably will have several more years of drought before the weather pendulum apain swings toward increased precipitation, according to studies made by the

Smithsonian Institution. Bu* after | 1940 there should not be another ! major drought until about 1980. This theory of weather cycles, ' based on observations extending over , a century, indicates that droughts in the middle west occur every 23 years | and become very intense, like the , present one, every 46 years.

theory was propounded by Dr. C. C Abbot, secretary of the institution, after a detailed study of tne water level of the Great Lakes from 1S37

to date.

Thus, if Abbot is correct, it appears that fears of the north middle west becoming a permanent desert are groundless, except so far as the “dust bowl” may be caused by plowing up land. The regior has experienced alternate periods of dryness and adequate rainfall for centuries. “Temperature and precipitation variations at any particular niace on the earth’s surface have a marked tendency to repeat themselves every 23 years, which is double the lib, year sunspot cycle well known to astronomers.” the institution said.

water level records show, in the four 23 year periods since 1837. The general contours of the curves of the water level variations for each 23 year intervals are very similar. “It so happens that the most extreme variations repeat at 46-year intervals, or double tne 23-year cycle, in that particular area.” Detailed studies made by Abbot of Lake Huron showed that in 1837-38 its level was very h : gh, indicating heavy rainfall. Then it declined steadily until the 1848 drought Rainfall then increased steadily for five years. Then there was a minor decline, followed by another upward swing until the end of the 23 year

j period.

cycle continues true to fonn, the low point should be reached some time between 1938 and 1940, followed by a rapid upswing. Most encouraging is the hope held out by the cycle pattern that there will not be another major drought, after this one is overcome, until 1980.??
