A meeting of farmers has ^een plan
ned for two o’clock at the Court

..The weather Bureau for Baldwin
County closed its books for the ye...-
Sunday night and has sent the an
nual summary to the Macon and At
lanta offices. The records show that
the coldest day of the year 1922
was on January 2nd. when the ther
mometer stood at 20. Since the win
ter of 1918-19 all the winters have
been very mild here. Almost no
snow and seldom has it been cold
enough to give the plumbers much
extra work.
The rainfall for 1922 was excess
ive. By months it was as follows: j
January 3.80; Febuary 7.11; March!
11.31; April 4.27; May 7.84; June
6.47; July 5.11; August 4.60; Sep
tember 0.63; October 4.44; Novem
ber!.66; December 3.66; Total 59.
90 inches of rain.
The average rainfall for this sec
tion is about 50 inches. 1921 was
very short being 35.38 inches. The
wettest month of the year 1922 was
March and the heaviest rainfall for
any 24 hours was on March 7th. 5.
60. inche.s
The local observer was kept very
busy during the weeks around Christ
mat by those who carried rain insur-
an< e. Many of the business houses
prctected themselves against bad
we tther and it was necessary for the
observer to mark the rainfall by the
ho j*, 10 to 4 being the popular hours
foi protection. Some elated over
th* ir sucessives have taken protect
ion for the whole month of January.
Judging from the past years the in
suved ought to win. January for the
past four years has had on the aver
age of eight to ten rainy days, most
of which has fallen in the day time.
