During its stay in Barnwell, many people took advantage of the oppor tunity to see the city from the tlouds. Most of them elected to ‘take the rs straight,” but Miss Thelma Cuttino and Messrs J.

This reduc tion will be-brought about by the ad verse weather conditions, he says, the area of excessive precipation in the Southwest moving eastward into the South Atlantic states. The planting of early vegetables may be begun now with practical assurance oft immunity from killing frosts. He says: “February is the climatic morkh of the winter. It ie the month of the winter in which the lowest tempera tures have occured in the South— notably February 14, 1899, when-tem perature eight degrees below zero was recorded along the 34th parallel (in the clay region 30 miles north Co- I lumbia).
