HOW DIFFERENT IN ARIZONA.

While this section of the country has been having an exceptionally mild winter, 
Mrs. Frank Jolly, formerly of Quarryville, writing from Elgin, Santa Cruz 
County, Ariz., says they "have had a very cold winter.  It started in before 
Thanksgiving and almost every week since it rains or snows.  Old timers say they 
have not seen anything like it in forty-one years.  But everybody is looking 
forward to good crops, as far as the moisture in the ground is concerned.  If 
our summer rains begin about the 12th to 15th of July we will be all right but if 
they come from the 10th to 15th of June then it means a poor season."
