KnowiJ
_ I /THE
What worm accurately pre
dicts the severity of the coming
winter? How can you look at it
and read the forecast for the
coming winter?
A number of weather
experts have confirmed the
belief that the caterpillar,
known as the “Wooly Bear,”
accurately forecasts the winter
every year.
This may be hard to believe
but it has been found that the
brown band in the center of
the Wooly Bear’s length relates
to mild weather. If the band is
wide, then a mild winter is
ahead. If narrow, a severe
winter is in store.
Tests of the Wooly Bear’s
accuracy have proven this
caterpillar remarkably accu
rate. Nature, then, reveals a
valuable tip about future
weather for those who are
interested enough to observe
carefully.
Mahan. Mahan was raised in
Summerville, and from child
hood was active in South
Summerville Baptist Church.
He is married to the former
Claudette Ponder, also of
Summerville, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Ponder.
The Mahans have one son,
Jeremy, age 2.

Weather View
For Farmers
To Dec. 15
“Normal” is the word from
the National Weather Service in
Auburn, Ala., and that means
good things for Georgia
gardeners and farmers.
After months of too much
rain, not enough rain and
extreme high and low tempera
tures, area growers are looking
forward to “normal” weather.
Rodger Getz, agricultural
meteorologist with the
National Weather Service, says
harvesting of cotton, soybeans
and pecans should proceed on
schedule.
Below normal rainfall may
affect small grain plantings and
pastures in some areas.
As soil temperatures con
tinue their seasonal decline,
soils will be too cool for
effective soil fumigation and
the planting of some varieties
of rye.
Fall gardeners are advised to
take advantage of the drier
than usual conditions by culti
vating and liming gardens.
Sub freezing temperatures
have already been reported
throughout Georgia. Afternoon
temperatures through mid-
December normally range from
the 50s in North Georgia to the
60s in South Georgia.
Provided as a service to
growers and gardeners in this
area by this newspaper, the
Georgia Extension Service and
the National Weather Service.
