is not Immediately expected.
But agriculture should immetiat-
, ly be in possession all the inform

give. Based on the best Obtainabls

years of careful observing and re-
cOrding what the weather has beer
in the past this system comes to the
public with reason on its side an(
will not be long in gaining publ,
favor.
We are now planning method o.
putting all this valuable informa
tion before the farmers and plant.
ers for their use in planting ant
sowing. We are confident that grea
good will result and that millions
will be saved to agriculture b,
knowing what and when to plan
and SOW.
The plan of extndeing this crol
weather information has not ye
been completed. About three mil
lion people are now receiving AM
using this information while NOR
than one hundred million in tn
States, in Mexico and in Canad
should have its benefits.
It is believed that we now know
Q how the crops should be varied i
the various sections so as to brin
out best results. As an exampl
my calculations show some import

ing the coming crop season in tn
