Editor, Tribune:
Inclosed herewith my weather pre-
dictions for this spring.
Western North Dakota in general
will have enough moisture to plow
properly by the forepart Of April.
There will not be q bumper crop this
year but the moisture will be more
evenly distributed than last year and
q much better harvest. Planetary
bodies, which are the sole indicators
Of favorable or unfavorable weather,
are changing rapidly and are not any
too favorable but far better than the
indicators were last spring. I have
already received several letters from
farmers and business men from west
ern North Dakota who approved Of
my last years predictions. My wealth
er forecasts are based on planetary
indications, q method which dis
covered 26 years ago. For many
years I have made . practice Of rails

markets. It has been quite profitable
and II more farmers would do this it
would avoid shipping in thousands Of
bushels Of early potatoes, therefore
keeping the money in the farmers
pockets at home. Last year sold
new potatoes around July 10th at
