Rainfall Heavier
In Box Butte County
Than Formerly
"Old timers'' in Box Butte county
nre almost unanimous in the bHief
that the rainfall is inrrensing from
venr to year. Many of them point
bark to the history of the state of
:tnd eastern Nebraska. They can re
rrirmler when that territory wh an
untitled plain, almost treeless, and con
sidered good only for grazing. They
call attention to tlio fart that with
'.he gradual increase In farming the
rainfall increased und tlie lands bo
rame more valuable, until today ordi
nary farm land in Iowa or eastern Ne
braska is vtorth from $200 to $350
prr acre.
These old settlers also believe that
with the continual influx of settlers
into Box Butte county, resulting in
thousands of acres being broken out
and tilled each year, this country i
to find that history repeats itself and
that before many years have passed
the rainfall here will be much heavier
than in past years.
The year 1921 so far has been one
of encouragement to farmers, although
many of them have been held back in
their farm work by the excessive rain
fall of th epust month or six weeks.
However, this excessive moisture has
its good points, for the fall grain crops
are already assured and spring crops
are coming along at a sixty-mile pace.
Potato planting is still going on in
tome parts of the county, although
most of it will undoubtedly be com
pleted this week.
The question of whether the seasons
are changing, insofar as temperature
is concerned, is another one that causes
considerable ' discussion. The remark
that "the seasons are changing; we
do not have the cold weather we did
when I was a boy," is a common one,
but the United States weather bureau,
in comparing its reports back as far
as the year 1870, says thut there has
been no radical change in the mean
temperature from year to year.
An official of the weather bureau
has compiled the following table from
records taken by various observers
previous to 1872 ami from those of the
weather bureau station at New Haven,
Conn., from 1873 to the present:
For the 10 years ending Mean
temperature
Degrees F.
1790 49.C
1800 50.0
1810. 50.4
1820 47.5
1830 49.3
1840 47.X
1850 49.2
1800 48.9
1870 49.1
1880 49.7
1890 - 48.9
1900 49.7
1910 49.7
1920
It wilt be noted, the official points
out, that the wnrmext three periods are
those ending in 1800, 1S10 ana israu,
and that the coldest decade immedi
ately follows the second warmest.
Considering the individual months
and the individual years, it is found
that the coldest January occurred as
late as 1857. The coldest February
occurred eight years after the warm
est one. The coldest March was as
late as 1870 and again in 1885. The
coldest April was in 1874, and many
years alter tne warmest one. mo m"
est temperature in May was in 1812,
181S, lfwu ana im. 'e "iKf- -ures
in June are in 1779, 1790, 1803,
and 1876. In June the lowest was in
XI 6. with the warmest as eariy a
1870 and equalled in 1876. The cold-
st August occurred ii years auer mo
warmest. In September tne cooiesu
months are in the earlier years, tut
for October, November and December
the coldest year care after the warm
est year in each case.
Thus it will be seen xnai in nm
months of the year the coldest one of
ecord occurred after the warmest one.
These figures seem to indicate very
clearly, the weather oiticial says, mat
since the time oi tne iievoiuuni
war, at least, there has been no per
manent change in temperature.
