GOOD WORDS FOR CYCLONES.
Weather Man Says They Are Good
For Farmers.

Speaking Of the cyclone. season which
is now at hand p. J. Conner the weather
man Of Kansas City says:
"lustcad If fearing these storms es
many people Go, they should be thauk
full that they are 50 blost. There are
thousands Of farmers aud Others in the
East that would take every chance
Of a tornado or "twister" il they could
only have some eff the rain none having
fallen for more than month aud every
thing is burning mp even this early in
tho season.
"lhere is regular. 'twisler' season
every. year, and this is the time. After
June there will be smaller chance Of u
tornado here although Of course it is
possible that one may come along after
that date, but at that time tho belt ex-
tends farther TO the LCrth and takes in
Nebraska, Iowa aud the Dakotas, while
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma are
more exempt As the sun warns the
atmosphere farther North there are
thunder storms and electrical storms
and they become fewer in the South,
"You read about all OF these storms
and calamitics from tornadoes, and think
that itmust be awful, and yet, after u
year has gone by and you take up the
list of tornadoes aud mark Of the section
on the map whore they occurred, you will
see that il is very small part of the
earth, indeed \ season of heavy rains
and storms is sure to bs a very product.
i've year for the farmer, and no should
be the last one to kick. ] believe that
this part Of the country, which has had
all Of these storms, and tornadoes, will
have much better season than the East
which is having beautifully clear
weather.
at is hard 10 say just how l)ng these
storms will las. Maybe it will clear up
this week, aud We ill have some line
weather, like today. Then, again, the
rain belt may not shift, but will stay
right with u, aud we will got il for
several days. Everything depends on
atmospheric conditions about u.s."
