SUNSHIN VARIES . I.y ,y x IN AMOUNTWITH SEASONS he amount of szuthine possible in angeality variei Wid4ly with the sea sons in midde and high .latitudes, says the Weather Bureau of the .Unit ed States Departmient of Agriculture. Further variations are caused by the conditions of the sky locally in re spect to clouds or fog. During the sdason of the longest - dr.ys of. the year the. sun rise along the central iotthern, bgrder of the United Statep a1it:Q1' hour. earlier than in the er tretne' South, but this condition is re versed during the shortest days. In the extreme southern portion of the United States the shortest day of the yeai is only about three hours short er than the longest day, but in the extreme northern part there is a dif ference of about eight hours, reckon ing from sunrise to sunset. The fewest hours of -sunshine in suizmer are found along the north Pacific coast. 'Summer sunshine east of the Mississippi averages less than 10 hours a day, but except along the Pacific coast and in the extreme nor thern Great Plains the daily summer averages to the west of the Mississ ippi generally exceed 10 hours. The maximum amount for the summer as a whole occurs over the western per tion of the plateau and in the Great Valley of California, where the su shines nearly 14 hours a day with al most continually cloudless skies. This is about 95 per cent of the possible amount of sunshihe. Cloudy weather in winter in the Lake region, the upper Ohio Valley, and the Appalachian Mountain dis tries, as well as in the far Norwestern States, reduces the winter sunshine to two and one-half or three hours daily average, which is from 35 to 40 per cent of the possible amount. The win ters are sunniest. in extreme western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and ex treme southeastern California, where the averages for the December to February period range- mostly from seven and one-half to eight hours a day. The percentage of sunshine is high also in this season in the central Great Plains area, where the averages exceed six hours daily. They are gen erally between five and six hours per day in the South Atlantic and Gulf States, but' somewhat higher in the Florida Peninsula. VIADUCT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE CLIMATE OF EUROPE The Flagler viaduct to Key West has no effect on the Gulf Stream, on conditions in the North Atlantic Ocean nor on the climate or weather of western Europe, the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture says positively, notwith standing recent press -assertains to the contrary. There is no record of any appreciable changes having oc curred in the Gulf Stream other than the slight modifications that occur in all oceanic currents. These have no effect on the climate of Europe except as the general temperatures of the waters of the ocean are raised or low ered with the fiuctuations in the tem peratures an'd strength of these and other currents as a whole. The extension of the Florida Coast Railroad over the so-called Flagler viaduct to Key West can have no pos sible effect on the force, strength, or temperatdre of the Gulf .Stream it self. The Flagler viaduct is a ma sonry arch railway structure carrying transportation over the very shallow shores and keysi of the Florida penin sula. At no point is the relative, depth of the water more than a few feet. The real channel of the Gulf Stream is far to the south of this shallow shore line, and it is certain 'that, the footings of the viaduct can have no effect whatever on the chan nel between Florida and Cuba, where the Gulf Stream starts on its course from the Gulf of Mexico into the At. lantic Ocean. The climate of western Europe is influencedl very greatly by the ocean Ic condIitions existing to the west wardI, because In this portion of the Northern Hemisphere the general trend of atmospheric motions Is from the west eastward. It is obvious that the vast body of relatively warm wa ter wvest of Europe necessarily contri butes to mild and humid climatic con ditions. SUCCESS ATTEND)S AREA PLAN OF' CATTFLE TB. ERADICATION The efforts being made to free de finitS areas of cattle tuberculosis, such as countiies, In' all parts of the UJnited States are meeting with suc cess In nearly every instance, accord-* ing to reports being received contin ually by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Much of this Cues666 CrsMalaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever. 47-tf. success has been' brought , about by the whole-hearted co-operation of all interested persona. In the community, not only cattle owners, but business men, particularly bankers. During a cdmpaign- recently put on in Lenihi County, Idaho, the thee banks of the county joined In adver tising in the local paper their indor sement of the tuberculin test. Under the heading "T iberculin test indors ed," they made the following state ment: The campaign that has been started In Lemhi County by the Bu reau of Animal gndustry of thte Unit .ed States. .and tdgbho. State Depuf.: mants of Ag detir t toward: thQ ,0 .trol and- eradicatjt n. of'.cattle Auben culosis that might sxist in herds with in Lemhi County has the fullest in dorsement- of the undersigned banko of the county. The banker is always a strong in fluence in a community, and such sup port has iuch to do with the success of aig undertaking such as the testing of all of the cattle in a county. When the campaign in Lemhi County' got un der way the first week in November practically 'every owner of a range or dairy herd was ready to have his cat tle tested. All the cattle were tested, a total of nearly 85,000 head, 90 per cent of them in range herds. Special chutes were built for handling the range animals. WEATHER BUREAU WORKS WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS The Weather Burean of the United States Department df Agriculture co ojerates with other Federal depart ments in many ways, thus avoiding duplication of activity in different bu redus. Its 'Marine Division, for ex ample, collects reports from ships at sea and prepares charts of the wea ther in various waters for the use of pilots; these charts are printed, to gether with other information of value to ship captains, by the Hydro graphic Office of the Navy Depart ment. Its aerological investigations sup ply information of a practical nature to Artillery, aviation, a'nd other in terests concerned with conditions in the upper air. In studies of wind velocities the Weather Bureau works co-operatively with the Bureau of Standards, which has several wind tunnels for this purpose. Recently arrangements have been made where by the Weather Bureau will send a re presentati"e to Air Service stations of the War Department to deliver lec tures on meteorological subjects. The first of these lectures were given on November 15 and 16 at Langley Field, Va., before a number of officers tak ing a course of training at the tactical school. PRESIDENT R!STABLISHES NEW BIRD RESERVATION A 40-acre tract adjoining the elk refuge near Jackson, Wyo., has been established as a new national bird re servation by Executive order. It will be known as the Flat Creek Reserva tion, and will serve throughout the year as a breeding and resting place for-the wild fowl and other birds of the region. Late in fall and in win ter it will serve another purpose in aff'ording additional pasturage to the elk herds coming dIowa from the mountains in and about the Yellow stone National Park to winter in the Jackson H~ole region. Both the elk refuge and the Flat Creek Reserva tion are under the jurisdiction of the Biological Survey of the United .States Department of Agriculture. 250 BEEF BULLS DISTRIBUTED -BY- "BET1IER-SIRF28 SALEaS" As a result of co-operative sales, conmmonly termed "better-sire sales" because of their nature and purpose, progresisve live- stock owners in Ken tucky diistrij~utedl 250 pure-bred beef bulls this year. The majority of the bulls are to be used for improving grade herds. The number of bulls dis p~osed of in the sales mentioned do not includie those distributed through pri vate sales which breeders conducted themselves. In connection with better-sires wvork in Kentucky extension workers in animal husbandry are conducting tiemonstration work in live-stock feed ing. In a number of counties field clay meetings are held in feed lots. The n~eetings assist materially, State college of agriculture believes, in showing and teaching better feeding practices along with the importance of good breeding.

The report of the Weather Bureau as to jts records of temperature and other conditions along the route In question is usu ally accepted as final in such disputes. Sometimes the shipper. and sometime. the railroad or steamship line is' the one to ask for the evidence of the Weather Bureau, bdt both sides accept the impartial records in the Govern ment files. EFFECTIVE RAT CLEAN-UP The, bad results of carelessness in leaving breaks in the basement walls of a building originally intended to be rat proof are shown in a CasK re cently reported to the Biological Sur vey of the United States Departmernt of Agriculture. In the course of a .z:a campaign In., Epithmnd, Orgg;,, in .icl i WAho xodeoanccint ol men. -forl ~to depytment werq baelled by the biby bureau of health and the cham ber of commerce, a building with un repaired breaks of this sort was visit ed: The owner was advised to clean up all the rubbish in his basement, re pair the breaks in the cement wall, use barium carbonate on Hamburg steak to poison the rats, and also to set some traps.
