Weather Signals for Farmers.


1.-THE new system of displaying weather
signals on moving trains will soon be put into
operation on the Frederick Division, Penn
sylvania Railroad. A frame containing red
and blue signals, will be placed on each side
of the combination car. The signals are
made with three characters, In two colors (red
and blue and are explained as follows:
In Red, the sun indicates higher tempera-
ture; the crescent, lower temperature, and the
star, stationary temperature.
In Blue, the sun indicates general rain or
snow; the crescent, clear or fair weather, and
the star, local rain or snow.
Before the train leaves Columbia these sig
nails will be set to agree with the weather re-
port, each frame showing one red and one
blue signal By these means It is desired to
reach the farmers along the line who do not
see any weather reports until late in the day.
ANY man in his home or his field by noting
the signals and by preserving this explana-
ton or by having a card to show what they
mean, will know what the weather has IN
store for him during the day. If he should
see a red sun over blue crescent he would
know that he might expect higher tempera-
ture and clear or fair weather, and so on.
These cards will be widely distributed when
the use of signals is commenced, but it is de-
sired that the matter should be brought be-
fore the people before commencing their use. ]"
The above is from a York, Pa, paper.
The adoption of the system by the railroad
shows enterprise, and the signals would be
valuable to farmers along the line of the
road, provided the Signal Service reports
were reliable. For more than year past the
Weather Bureau has been useless, the pre-
dictions being much oftener wrong than rig ht
If the Bureau should ever become reliable,
then the signals would be valuable to farmers.
