gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent February 28 to -March 4,
warm wave February 27 to MWh 3,
cool wave March 2 to 6. This will be
long to a cold period and winter storms
will be the rule on the continent. Un
usually cold preceding and following
the warm wave and no very warm
weather accompanying the storm wave.
While cur earth will be afflicted with
storms of moderate force the sun will
get some severe storms on March 8,
and large spots, dark and brlsrht, may
be seen on the eastern side of the sun
a little north of the sun's equator by
March 4 to 6. These spots will drift
Into better view by March 10. Anyone
can test this forecast of sun by using
a smoked glass or a tub of quiet water,
or both. Ycu can add to the two an
opera glass with good effect, using all
three.

I The second floor Is occupied by the
Knights of Pythias, Ancient Order of
United Workmen and Woodmen of the

spared nothing in making their rooms
comfortable and beautiful. The office

The arrangement of the rooms is per

especially for lodge use.
The third floor is the home of the
Masons and when the door is opened
and one steps into the rlchlv and

lin to select a pair of new horses, re
turned yesterday afternoon. The
horses selected are a span of blacks,
coming four-year-olds, weighing re
spectively 1230 and 1234 pounds. They
are well matched and promise to be
serviceable as fire horses. The price
was $GO0 far the pair.
The purchase was made from Mr.
I. N. Conyers, who is well known in
Bryan, having engaged in the live
stock business here for a number of
years. The horses were brought to
Marlin from southern Missouri and
one of them was slightly crippled in
transit, ine purchase was made con
ditioned on the complete recovery of
the animal. At a meeting of the fire
company tonight the disposition of the
two horses on hand now will be de
cided upon.

In Compliance with the call of Prof.
J. H. Allen, chairman of the Brazos
County Prohibition Club, for a meet

Allen called the meeting to order, stat

is confined to the sporting element. I After discussing the best means of
Just now Paul E. Cardow, of this place, organizing the precincts of the county,
provinces of Canada wil! have a little
less than normal : nrednltatioh for
.viaren. lexa and Oklahoma a little
less than normal rain.
uarcD tempeartures will be pbove
normal in Southern states. In if-tltudo
or the great lakes and Niw England
states ann in nil cf Canada east of
the Rockies. March temporatnr',s will
average below normal. With the ex
ceptions of Minnesota, the Dakotns
Colorado, Montana and Wisconsin, the
excessive rains and snows in Northern
states durin? March wil! be a most Im
portant feature In the crop season of
1K11. .
What doc that kind of crop weather
sutrgest? The nlrnost unanimous re.
sponse Is that It means goad crons.
But I will not .loin In with that judg
ment at this time. I prefer to wait
a little. Looks like a vast amount of
rain in the Northern states for March,
except In the Northwest. If the soil
takes up a large part of that water It
will start 'n with a splencid prosnert
in April.
Mr. C. W. Cobb, of Cranesvil'e. Pa.,
says: "Ground Is badly hove nnd bare
with alternate thawing and freezing,
which must break the tap roots of
wheat, therefore we may expert only
an average crop. Conditions are ad
verse to a fair crop. The open winter
Is favorable to good corn and oat
craps because the warm spells hatch
the insects and sprout seeds nf r.ox
Ions weer"s and the hard freezing kills
them. When the ground is hove it
makes underground passages which
hold the surface water that mellows
the soil. Therefore I conclude fusion
corn and oat crops will be above aver
age and the hav crop below."
R. R. Reed. New England. North Da
kota, says: "The ground is drv here
two or three feet deep." Mr. W. J.
ONeill. of Canada, says: "We had
very cold weather before the snow-
came and frost penetrated deeply. The
deep freezing and heavy snow should
ma:e a good crop of surine wheat
because frost evaoorates slowly from
deep freezing, and it is this evapora
tion or rrost from the frozen eround
that furnishes moisture and gives
sturdiness to spring wheat. Without
the deep freezine the snow Would be
of little benefit because the 'chinook
or hot wind3 of early snring molts the
snow so quickly that It runs off and
does not penetrate the soil. I exnect
a good crop of spring wheat for 1911."

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
I noticed in your paper of Wednes
day a statement that the fire company
had postponed the carnival, which was
to have begun on March 13, until
March 20. This was done in order that
the carnival might not conflict with
the revival to begin In the First Meth
odist church on March 5, and, as pas
tor of the First Methodist church. I
personally and in behalf of its mem
bership wish to express publicly our
sincere appreciation of their kind con
sideration. GLENN FI.INN
