The moon is to blame for the recent oversupply of wet weather. When she gets ready, which will be about July 1, the earth’s capricious satellite will turn off the spigot, and Washingtonians may salt away their feit hats and fare forth confidently in their straws “for good,” for the first time since they invested in them some weeks back. Such, in substance, are the assertions of the large bloc of supporters of the lunar theory of weather prognostica- tion, a group of more or less rural persons having ideas widely differing from those of government weather followers aver. Two wrongly tilted moons in succession are uncommon— certainly unpopular—it is pointed out. And so, around the mystic hour of midnight, on July 1, there will emerge from obscurity a new and un- trammeled moon, fresh from Its quar- ters, its slim lunar figure inclined, it 13 hoped, to a position sufficiently restful, to assure a wet populace of a dry country. In the meantime, it is argued, Washington may expect the present clear weather to give way again to showers, drizzles and other common arden varieties of rain without urther notice, weather bureau fore- casts to the contrary notwithstand- ing. To all of this line of reasoning science replies “bunk,” or words to that effect. To quote Forecaster Mitchell: moon theory and all the other so- called ~‘theories’ have absolutely nothing to do with the rain.” The ~moon faction of weather prophets is composed largely of tillers of the soil of the old school. These people have great faith in the influ- ence wielded by the world's noc- turnal visitor, not only on the weather, but 'on such less abstract things as potatoes and fence posts. Potato Planting. Many farmers would no more plant potatoe the “light” of the moon than they would expect a fish to bite on _bait not christened with saliva. They declare that experience has proved conclusively that potatoes The question, long dormant, of whether or not the moon affects the weather has come once more to the fore with the continued rainy spell of the past month or so, and the disinterested spectators, if there be any. may hear from the one side a concerted and highly technical chorus of “Nothing to it mingled with an equally loud refrain from those supporting the more roman- tic explanation of “Yerdurntootin.” From one group of heads buried deep in a deskful of weather maps that the man in the moon has no more to do with regulating sunshine than X Mitchell.
