Will Bring About A Bumper
Potato Crop

If June it wet and cool this year the
farmers may expect good potato
crop, according to the predominating
experience of the past q years. This
is brought out in observations collect
ed by Weatherman Smith from 1883
to 1909.
In all of these 27 years there has
never been a poor potato yield when
June was more than normally wet and
cool and there was only one instance
where the June weather was dry and
cool that the crop fell below the nor
NAL production for this period of "A
bushels to an acre.
The July observations show prac-
tically the same tendency. In but one
year when there was more than the
usual amount of rain and coolness was
the yield unusally poor. August and
September do not seem to be so much
affected by weather conditinos.
These observations are a part of the
meteorological work conducted by
Professor Smith at Ohio State univer-
sity. Students are calculating the ef-
feet of weather conditions upon other
Ohio crops and the frequency of in
sects.
