all long rangers. We find merit In all
the proposed systems and we use parts
OF each. together with some discover
ies Of our own. We are the only fore
casters who use weather records. Our
method Is TO test all proposed systems
by the records covering n hundred
years and when We compare a system
OF forecasting with those records, that
settles the question as TO merits.
We regard as a very great mistake
the eternal fight made by the U. s.
Weather Bureau against all long range
forecasts. Advances In discoveries
come principally from outside official
dom and our officials should encour'
age outside Investigations. The peo
pie. the masses. will eventually gel
the benefits Of the discoveries.

The storms OF last part OF March
