Prof. Hicks gives out the following
weather predictions which are applicable
to this region: 1--WE adhere to our be
lief and prediction that February ane
March have In store for us-the country
ganerally-much OF the toughest weather
OF the winter. In every probabilit,
June will bring the heaviest down-pouI
OF rain, and the most severe ~meteorolog
ical commissions OF the summer AL
who are familiar with our storm dia
gram will understand why we make Thu
prediction. We believe that most part,
of the continent will receive much ran
in June. All sections where it Ia posi-
BILE TO plant crops that can be natures
by June rains should take advantage .
June probabilities. We candidly thinl
that in all the great regions OF Nebraska
Dakotas, Kansas and the northwes
generally, the season will be more fav
orable4han last, and that there are goot
reasons to hops that the next two 9
three seasons will be more propitious il
all that parts or the country. Upon TIL
other hand, We fear that u~nfavorabl
conditions will be felt in the southern
parts of the country, reaching a crisi
about the year 1896. We believe that !
will be wise to plan for Shortage of rain
except local cloud6arst, ii Ill Of th
