HEAVIEST IN MANY YEARS
With a snow storm raging over
western Nebraska, Colorado and
Kansas, and the temperature In all
places averaging about twenty-five
degrees, a new record for sold weath
er and snow has been established in
this country.
The change in temperature occur
red Monday evening, followed Imme
diately by a light snow, which In
creased In volume all night and kept
up steadily until Wednesday even
ing. The official government gauge
in Alliance showed fifteen Inches In
all, but on the level there was not
this . much Wednesday, as a great
amount of it had melted as it fell.
During the twelve years the weather
bureau has been established there
has been nothing to equal this, either
In lateness or In amount. The near
est for any one month was in Decem
ber, 1902, when there was a snow
fall of 15.5 Inches. In April, 1913,
the total was 7 Inches; In April, 1907
the total was .30 Inches; In April,
1906, It was .60, and In April 1911,
It was .47. The latest snow on rec
ord was on May 2. 1907, when .06
Inches fell. Interviews with the old
timers, who have been In this coun
try for twenty-five to thirty years,
found them without knowledge of
anything similar since they have
been here. Unusually cold weather
has not accompanied the snow storm,
and it is not thought all the fruit is
killed nor that the gardens are dam
aged to any great extent. The snow
was extremely wet, and there is no
doubt but that it Is worth much to
the farmers for their growing crops

present condition, a bumper crop this
year is almost assured.
