l.. Lewis, in the Ryder Journal: I
noted all last winter the winds varied
mostly from south to east. BY the
same token | am expecting our Vari-
able winds during the summer to be
from the north and west, without dam
ger of hot winds. 1t has seemed to me
that we are a month behind, to in
stance-we are having March weather
in April, and his kept up would give
us the hot July period in August, when
it could do no harm and is desirable.
From all this l argue crop conditions
will be favorable.
