“Buffeted by a cold wet
spring that delayed

mers may now be facing
i killing frosts arriving one
to three weeks early and

QPowers, Senior Vice
. PPresident and Director of
Thomson McKinnon’s
Commodities Division.
\ He was speaking at a
i special briefing on the
harvest outlook at
Thomson’s New York
headquarters. Joining him
at the briefing were
Thomson’s two commodity
consultants, the highly
respected Nash C. Roberts,
Jr., weather consultant
from New Orleans and
Conrad Leslie, in-
ternationally. recognized
grain authority and private
crop forecaster.
Roberts; in a specially-
commissioned report,
noted that, throughout the

early September in North
and late September in the
South.” His forecast calls
i for generally favorable
weather during the sum-
mer months but, “The fall
period indicates mostly
I unfavorable weather with
early freezes and generally
below normal tem-
peratures.’’ Although
Roberts cautions against
treating long-range
weather reports as
‘gospel’, he notes that,
“Freezes or killing frosts
occuring one to three
weeks early should cause
considerable damage to
late maturing corn and
: Com-
pounding the danger for
these crops, the forecast
also calls for above normal
rain in September, October
and November.
Turning his attention to
the cotton producing area,
Roberts sees beneficial
weather conditions during
the summer months in both
the West Texas and Central
Belt growing areas. Un-
the forecast
also sees the first freeze or
killing frost occuring one to
three weeks early in these
areas. “If the crop is late
(in the West Texas area),”
notes Roberts, ‘“‘and the
frost is as early as ex-
pected, considerable
damage could result.” For
the Central Cotton an early
frost,. ‘could terminate the
growing. season; before
maximum production
occurred.” Wend ae
Weather has| become a
much more: iimportant
factor in our economy in
recent years. This is partly
because the weather has
become more violent and
variable over the last
decade. And, partly
because the agricultural
sector, always sensitive to
changes in weather, has
become more sensitive not

which sets forth therein ex-
tatives who welcome new-
comers and introduce them
to local civic groups and
businesses. In more recent
years, Welcome Wagon has
also begun greeting new
parents, newly engaged
couples and college fresh-
men.
According to Barbara
Marshall, WW _ president,
the Welcome Wagon name
was derived from the
frontier Conestoga wagons
that were sent by town-
speople to greet westward
moving settlers and to
present provisions ‘and
gifts.
Welcome Wagon repre-
sentatives commemorate
the 50th Birthday with
special occasion calls on
thousands of local mayors,
state governors and other
dignitaries. July 16-22 will
be designated as Welcome
Wagon Week in many cities
and states across the
country.
Local Welcome Wagon
representatives are
Eleanor Crinnion; Dallas
hostess, and Bernadette
Slusarz,. Mountaintop
hostess. They call on
newcomers in our com-
munity.
During every call, these
representatives present a
packet of civic and com-
munity information ap-
propriate to the occasion.
For newcomers, this
packet includes maps,
calendar of events, places
of worship, materials
concerning Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
A second phase of the
Welcome Wagon call is the
presentation of gifts from
local sponsoring
businesses. The
representatives extend
greetings from each
business: describe the
business location and °
products and services; and
the business for a personal
greeting and a second
congratulatory gift.
Nationwide, Welcome
Wagon represents more
, than 65,000 local
businesses--several of
whom have been sponsors
for more than 30 years.
Anyone may request a
Welcome Wagon call for
themselves or for a friend
