Trees Are Nature's
For Dry Years
By Marjorie Filley.
Hundreds of years before man
began to keep a record of the dry
years and rainy years, nature had
perfected her own method of book
keeping to record drouths and wet
years. Trees are very accurate
yearly weather charts for the ter

A. Penton of the agricultural ' en
gineering department.
Wide rings mark the rainy
years. Thin fine rings that can
scarcely be counted indicate the
years of drouth.

Douglas fir tree 571 years old,
which was cut down in the Oregon
timberland in 1930, hangs outside
Mr. Ponton's office in the Engi
