FORECASTS ARE
OF MUCH Value
Illinois Farmers Highly Pleased
With Aid Bulletins Had Been
at Planting Time.
ENABLED TO FIGURE AHEAD
With Prediction Of Rain Everybody
Got Busy With Planters and Crop
Put in Ground Ready to Be
Soaked and Terminated.

That the farmers OF the country find
the weekly weather forecasts of i'm
mense value, especially during the
growing season, is evidenced by let
ter OF appreciation recently received
by the weather bureau of the United
States department of agriculture from
an Illinois farmer. He was highly
leased with the aid the forecasts had
been TO him and his neighbors in plant
ing their corn. In part he wrote:
OF Untold Benefit.
"These forecasts have been Of un
told benefit TO us this, an unusual
backward spring, and we feel greatly
indebted 10 you. With this very reli-
able advanced information you are
furnishing us we are able to figure
ahead and keep planting right up. For
instance, this section began blowing
for corn last week. When we re-
ceived your bulletin predicting rain
for Tuesday or Wednesday of this
week. we got busy with our corn
planters. some even turning the face
of their calendars to the wall and
letting one Sunday get away from
them. TO make Il long story short,
" hen your predicted rain struck us
Tuesday noon and is still coming down
tins, Wednesday, morning, II found
over one-third of the Illinois corn crop
In the ground ready to be soaked and
germinated. Had we not been put
wise by your Office am confident that
not one-sixth would have been planted.
While your daily weather reports,
made up by your local observer, help
out some, they cannot be compared
with your weekly forecast sent out
from Washington. | have watched 1t
lulte close since you began this part
of the service FIVE or six years ago,
and have found 1t most reliable and

Weekly Forecast.
In addition to the daily weather fore
casts published in practically all news
papers, the weather bureau issues on
Saturday of each week q forecast for
the six days beginning the following
Monday. These forecasts are made
for nine separate districts covering
practically the entire Unlted States.

the daily forecasts. 'Fhey are given
