MORE RAINY WEATHER EXPECTED IN JULY O. 1). Harbaugh, Local Weather Man Resumes Monthly Forecasts After Long Silence (O. D. Harbaugh) We have been asked quite often about the monthly weather articles we stopped preparing in March. It was due to illness and stress of work but we will now take up the work again, time permitting. April, May and June ibrought us many weather changes and all are agreed that it was too dry and cold to be ideal growing weather. Believing that all weather changes are the result of planetary causes, we are calling this a Saturn year as the summer solstice of Saturn falls the middle of Jan. 1929 and all this year and next we will have more and greater weather extremes than usual. Besides quakes and storm phe-nomina, Saturn influences deepen pestilences, epidemics and diseases take strange form. The death rate will be higher between certain ages statistics will show. We ask the readers to note the appearance of the sunsets each evening during the mouth of July and would appreciate your comments before we prepare our August article. The sun entered the sign Cancer on June 21st beginning our summer season. The Saturn Solstice has been a weather factor for six months. The Mars solstice began about June 15th when the moon was nearest the earth as well as new. We wish to repeate a few weather facts and let the reader draw his own conclusion as to the weather ahead. First a new moon either at north or south declination always produces more storm stress than a change of the moon hear the equator. Mars is an intensifier as well as a stabilizer of the prevailing weather at the beginning of a Mars period. Now these are the weather factors we faced at the beginning of the present Mars period. Saturn will (be with us all the year. Mars enters the arena June 16th, same day as the moon swept nearest the earth. The central day of a storm period fell 17th, as well as new moon. The 18th saw the moon at north declination. A Mercury solstice fell the 20th, the earth’s solstice and central day of a regular storm period on 22d. We have had 10 rainy days in succession since the 17th and as Mars will be with us all of next month, how will July weather be? We don’t look for a repetition of a certain 4 0 day rainy spell but a drought seems out of the question till far into the month at least, and the work of j keeping weeds in check and curing of hay will be the great task of the farmer. June closes under promise of stormy weather of the storm center of 29th. All readers have noted many reports of quakes in various parts of the world the past month. No doubt July will have her share of quakes near dates we list as storm i or quake centers. As we enter July we find the moon at south declination and full on 2d. A regular storm period falls on 4th that may mar some celebrations or picnics unless the storm center has passed eastward leaving us a fine cool breezy Forth. The second period runs into the third . The moon is on the equator north bound in the 9th. turns last quarter on 10th the central day of our storm period. ?Jars solstice centers on the 11th, Mercury equinox on 12th, moon nearest the earth on 14th, north extreme 15th, and i now the 16th. These configurations will bring hard showers, heavy straight line winds, perhaps even twisters in places, with hail a strong possibility. The 4th period centers on 21st, with the sth period on the 27th. These two periods promise more local showers than the general storms that have covered the whole country so far under the Mars period. Should there be a noticeable falling off in the rainfall the last few days of July we may come close to a drought the first half of August Since this is a Saturn year, i weather freaks will be noticed, so guard against a dry spell by timely and shallow cultivation where possible. We list the following dates when storm stress, quake activity will most likely occur if they do occur: From 2d to sth, Bth to 11th, especially in equatorial regions, 14th to 17th in northern hemisphere, 23d to 2 7th, north and equatorial regions. We have been very r fortunate so far and we believe that the coming month will.be as favorable as the past has been. No floods nor storms to wreck our home, nor drive us from them as have visited the south lands again this spring. Trusting that as the season advances all readers may live to enjoy the beauties of nature as she reveals them to us in sky, earth and verdure and give praise to their Creator as is His due, we bid all adieu till August's heated days brings the rustle to the corn.

Grants Injunction in Cemetery Case The case of Walkerton Woodlawn Cemetery Association against Melvin M. Foster for injunction relief against the construction of any curb or sidewalk around his burial lot in the cemetery was heard last Thursday before Judge Bingham in St. Joseph Superior Court, the cemetery association being represented by Roy Sheneman, and Mr. Foster being represented by Eli F. Seibert of the law firm of Seibert, Oare and Omacht of South Bend. The court after taking the matter under advisement rendered his decision Monday granting to the cemetery association injunction against Foster from constructing any curb or walk around his private lot in the cemetery. In giving his decision the court recognized that the cemetery- association was performing an essential public function namely that of caring for and beautifying where the dead are buried and that the cemetery association possessed the power to make neccessary by-laws and to so far regulate the use of such burial place as may'be necessary to keep and maintain such burial place as an entiretyincluding private burial lots, under a general scheme and uniform plan of ornamentation and that the rights of burial are so far public that the private interests of an individual lot owner are limited to the use of particular lots for purposes of interment only, and must be subject to reasonable and uniform police regulations of the association having charge of the cemetery. The court held that by-laws and regulations were not only within the power of the association but were necessary to preserve the rights of all lot owners and that the association should assume control and beautify the cemetery as an entiretyin a manner usually demanded by public sentiment. Houser Makes Good Record At Shoot C. E. Houser, of Walkerton, just missed one bird of winning the annual Hoosier Classic shoot and a beautiful large $175.00 Sterling silver loving cup as a prize, at the registered shoot at Peru, Ind., on Wednesday. A record of 9 4 birds out of 100 won the meet, while Mr. Houser's record was , 93-j Three men tied for the 93 mark and in shooting off the tie, Mr. Houser won. His prize was a beautiful Conklin fountain pen desk st Mr. Houser shot from a handicap of IS yards, among a field of 40 shooters. Had it not been for the fact that Im entered the shoot not feeling well. he would probably have won first honors. In a registered shoot at Nappanee last week, Mr. Houser took first place among 15 shooters with a record of 4 9 ont of 50 birds, ’ with a 22 yard handicap. He was given a beautiful Masonic ring as a trophy Mr. Houser will enter the annual state shoot at Indianapolis on July--16, 17 and 18.

WINTER KILLING IS SERIOUS CONDITION May 1 ause \ Shortage < M rroiein Feeds Which should lie Voided by rianting Alfalfa. By Eds-ar W. Cooley Not tor many years. in the midd!« west, has there been such general ! winter killing of hay crops and pastures, especialy legumes, aswas the case during the past season. Clover, alfalfa, sweet clover and wheat, all suffered. Every year 1 there have been scattered section? ■ where more or less winter killing occurred, but not for a long time has the damage appeared so wide- ' spread as it is this year. To a great extent this winter ■ killing was caused by the alter- ' nating periods of unseasonably : warm weather and severe cold, j I which were common last winter and ; jwhich resulted, throughout much of the corn belt, in a tremendous a- ' mount of upheaving of the soil. ‘ ; It is reported that in many sections of Illinois. Indiana. lowa.' ■ | Michigan. Minnesota. Ohio and Wis- • 1 consin, alfalfa and clover plants i were literally heaved out of the ground to such an extent as to ex- i pose from five to ten inches of the roots. Estimates made by agricultural colleges and county agents ' ’ indicate that fully 30 percent of the ’ legume acreage throughout the corn ’ belt was killed. From this it is quite evident that many corn belt farmers will have a short alfalfa and clover hay crop this summer, and unless much of the , legume acreage is replanted during j ' the next two or three months, a still | greater shortage will be faced next ■ • year. We all realize the value of alfalfa, 1 clover or some other legume, not 5 only as feed, but as part of any good plan of crop rotation, and every ' farmer will do well to protect him- ; self from any possible loss or dis- ( advantage along that line. A few acres of alfalfa properly ■ । sown| this summer will prevent a serious shortage of protein pasture I ’ and protein hay next year. Alfalfa j can be successfully seeded throughs out tihe corn belt during July or ; August. • 5 Report from North Dakota 5 Albert Beard of Williston, North • Dokota, writes the Independent that it has been very dry in Dokota up until June 16, when they got an eight hour rain that soaked every- . thing up in fine shape. He says, . “The crops are all looking fine now t and everybody that I know from Indiana is well at present.” s r Coming “The Patant Leather Kid” is . comng to the Liberty Theatre, North Liberty soon.
