brief, the season for March, and until
after the Goth or 22d OF April, will
he unfavorable for early corn, and
and for all the first early planting.
From March II until the Goth or 22d
cold and stormy weather will I've had.
After the 2lst or 22d, weather mod.
crate; 25th, Goth, 9th and 28th,
mostly fair and clear. Colder wealth
er will close the month, and continue
until the Sd or 9th day of April.
During the period extending from
the 18th to the 18th of April, look
for frosty nights and one or two Sc.
