jHelling Snow-
May Cause
Trouble Later
(Continued from page 1)
So it would seem that the dry
summei past may yet get in
another blow, but this time using
some of the water that was need
ed so badly last summer
Pei haps heie would be a good
firae to gi\e the Weather Bmeaus
icason foi the peculiarities of this
winter’s weather
It seems that the jet stieam
the cm rent oi high speed winds
ip the upper atmospheie stay
ed in the polar regions longer
than usual this wmlei This was
\ hy the fall months were milder
than usual But while the fall
was mild, the air o\er the pole
got colder and colder
Finally the bicakthiough came
The arlic air by this time had al
most supei cooled and flowed
south rapidly pushing warmer
southern air out of the way This
caused the initial stoims and cold
spells during December
Since that time the jet stream
has developed a big bulge that
e’ tends over the Eastern half of
the United States This forms a
tailor made fiontal line for the
formation of storms The storms
happen when cold artic air from
the north 'hits warm moisture
laden air from over the ocean
and gulf What we have on the
gi ound now is the result
The jet stream usually moves
northward as the earth titlts to
ward the spring equinox Whether
it will or not cannot be predicted

Hereford Coloring
Not Important
Recent studies at the South Da
kota agricultural experiment sta
tion shows that the color of Here
ford cattle does not influence
their rate and efficiency of gain.
A purpose of these studies, ac
coiding to animal husbandman
G A. Hinkle of the South Da
kota station, was to test the popu
lar theory that the yellower or
lighter colored the Hereford, the
better the feed lot performance.
