Mr. Bowes is very proud of his record of past years, not~ withstanding the many criticisms which have been levelled at him. and he is prepared to stand back Of any prediction he makes. admitting that no person can make a perfect forecast of weather conditions for a year. Following are his forecasts: Januaryâ€"First ten days very‘ cold: strong winds. heavy snow; l'alls: balance very mild and calm. Februaryâ€"First fifteen days quite mild and calm; about 17th. cold and unsettled; 24th. strong winds. rain. snow and quite cold. With regard to 1927 he admits that. he was a little bit oil' in the spring predictions, but that. taken as a whole. his forecast ol'a fairly chV season came t1ue.A glance at the 1928 forecast goes to sl10VV that them is nota gieat deal of change tiom that ol the past y.ea1 and that the coming V"eaI is going to be an- othei diV one although he does not think that it is going to be thy enough to be at all harmful to the farm!3 crops. Mr. J. B. Bowes. the well known Owen Sound weather forecaster. is to the fore with his long distance weather prognostications for 1928 and the first part of 1929, which will make very interestiig reading for all who make any pretense of watching the weather conditions and its variations from year to year. Mr. Bowes has been spending quite a considerable time .of late in calculating his i'orcasts for the next twelve months. and is satis- liml that he is not very far out. He bases all his predictions on scien- tific principles and maintains that he cannot. go far wrong at any time. 1 According to Annual Forecast of J. B.
