Planting  "In  The  Moon."  I  noth 
in  a  recent  issue  of  your  paper  that  there 
is  no  scientific?  reason  for  planting  “in 
the  moon,”  so  called.  I  am  no  farmer, 
lmt.  have  worked  for  several  years  in  the 
street  lighting  department  of  this  place, 
and  have  noticed,  in  fact  have  records, 
which  show  that  just  before,  l  ight  on,  or 
directly  after  full  moon  we  have  storms 
or  moist  weather.  It  occurred  to  me 
that  if  a  person  placed  his  seed  in  the 
ground  just  before  full  muon  the  seed 
would  have  a  moist  soil  iu  which  to 
germinate.  c,  0.  N,
