month and the probable variation

son as determined by the killing
frosts of spring and fall. These data
the weather bureau has for about 3,
600 stations distributed throughout
the farming regions of the country,
and any farmer can get information
as to the temperature and rainfall
conditions of any locality that will
aid him materially in deciding what
crops to plant and in planning his
crop rotations.
Second, having decided what to
plant and when to plant it, the farm
err needs to know as far in advance
as possible what the weather condi-
lions are to be from day to day. This
information the weather bureau is
ready to furnish promptly and with
much greater accuracy than any other
agency.

THE FARMER AND
THE WEATHER BUREAU
(By J. F. Voorhees,, MeteoroIogisD

Probably not one farmer in ten
realizes that he has a weather bureau
all his own and with which he can do
pretty much as he pleases. The
weather bureau is one of the many
bureaus of the department of agri-
culture and as the agricultural de-
partment is essentially the farmers
department the weather bureau must
also belong to the farmer.
The farmer and in particular the
successful farmer is practical and
progressive. His progressiveness ia
shown by the fact that he is constant
ly acquiring new equipment and en-
ploying new methods in his work. He
shows his practical side by refusing to
buy new equipment or employ new
methods until their value has been.
demonstrated. Having obtained some
new equipment, whether it be a piece
of machinery, a new building, some
new stock or what not, the practical
farmer proceeds to use it. But in the
weather bureau the average farmer
has one bit of equipment that he
seldom uses.
What is the cause of this seeming
carelessness. Is it that the value of
the weather bureau has not been
demonstrated or is it because the
average farmer lacks information as
to just what this bureau can do for
him? All farmers who have used the
data furnished by the weather bureau
unite in proclaiming its practical
value to them in their work. Hence,
we must conclude that the great num-
Der of farmers who do not use the |
weather bureau fail to do so because
of ignorance of what that bureau
can do to help them.
1t is the purpose of this paper to
outline briefly the data in possession
of the weather bureau and to point
out some of the ways in which these
data can be used by the farmer.
Let us consider the farmers posi-
tion with respect to the weather.
The weather practically controls all
his activities from day to day, while
the climate, which is only the average
weather for a given place, controls
his sstem of cropping and his rota-
tions and determines wha crops it
will be possible for him to grow.
This being true, the farmer needs
two things.
First, he needs a knowledge of the
climate or the average weather condi-
tons that he may expect from year
to year. He needs to know the aver
age rainfall for the year and for each
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1919-05-28

big things and that your little affairs
are too small to bother about. But
no one man saved all those millions
They were made up of the little saw
ings of thousands of men.
The lady who calls the weather
bureau to ask if it will be necessary
to carry her umbrella on her shopping
trip this afternoon, or the washer
woman who wants to know if it will
be safe to hang out her clothes, or
the anxious young man who wants to
go to the theater or the dance but
cannot afford a carriage gets just as
careful and just as courteous an
answer as the big contractor or ship
per or railroad superintendent.
The weather bureau is yours. You
are paying for it and you ought to get
some benefit from it. You can get
that benefit in but one way. That
way is by using the forecasts and
other information that the bureau
has gathered for you. Perhaps you
have made so much fun of the
weather bureau that you are ashamed
to come to it for help. Don't let
that worry you for a minute. Laugh
all you feel like laughing, for that is
good for your health. But, while
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1919-05-28

you are laughing, learn to use the
forecasts and you will find that they
are good for your purse.-U. T.
