a Severe Winter

According to an old New Jersey farmer
we are going to have long cold winter.
The bucolic weather prophet bases his
prediction upon signs which have never
failed during a period Of observation ex-
tending over thirty years. The apples.
corn. wheat and seed pods are his data.
He says that the apple. grape and peach
skins are especially tough-more 80 than
for several years. The ears Of corn are
protected by stronger and thicker husks,
wheat and rye straws are tougher and the
hay wirier than for a number of seasons.
These are farmer signs and based upon
observation, and not the foolishbess of
superstition.
