II WEATHER QUESTIONS Q. —What are the prospects for moisture next spring and summer for N. E. No. Dakota? These parts have no sub-soil moisture whatever and no snow up to the present time. ' (R. L-) A.— After spring starts there may be some rain there. I hardly expect much precipitation before then. Q. —Do you think there are people on Mars? (C. 8.) A.—We have no way of knowing what the inhabitants of Mars look like but they seem to exist and to possess a high order of intelligence. Scientists never refer to the possible inhabitants of Mars as “people." They call them “intelligent beings.” Q. —Will there be any severe frosts late next spring in So- Dakota? Iowa? Illinois? Indiana? Wisconsin? (A. P. M.) A. —March and April will be colder (for the season) than May and tune ever ail these states, especially so in the west. In May the weather will warm up decidedly as strong south winds sweep up the Mississippi Valley. I Q. —Do you expect precipitation ,in Kansas and Nebraska for 1938

A.—Theoretically this would be possible, If Venus should past between the earth and the sun neer I midnight. At ouch a time the night side of Venus would necesssrily be turned toward the earth and We would probably experience much difficulty In seeing tbe planet However, eharp eyes have actually detected Venus when quite near the £ J A TRIP TO THE MOON How would yon like to take a trip hi fancy, through a telescope to the Moon and see how the world looks?
