Show THE SCIENCE OF ASTROLOGY APPLIED TO AGRICULTURE j Agricultural Pointers and Valuable Information To the Farmer And Gardner By J. H. Roiengreen, D. A. It Is a well undoi stood fact that the moon has a direct Influence upon tho wntcrs of tho oceans and that through tho law of attraction, raises billions ot tons of this aqueous mass which results In producing tho tides. This law has been observed so closely, close-ly, that tbo exact tlmo may bo calculated cal-culated when tho tides will rise and fall at any point, so It Is no question as to tho cause. Now, this being true, Is It not reasonable rea-sonable to bellevo that tho moon has somo Influenco at least upon .the vegetation veg-etation ot tho earth, and that tho leaves of tbo trees, tbo budding flowers, flow-ers, as well as all other formB ot plant llfo are In a measure Influenced by the, same attractive quality expressed ex-pressed upon the -waters. Most gardeners, especially those who usually havo tho best gardens, watch veryi closely tho signs of tho moon and plant their seeds (ndi",in tho moon as somo professed learned ones say, but In tho soil)', according' to a knowledgo or belief handed down to them by their forefathers. To mako tho law clearly understood under-stood It would bo necessary to illustrate illus-trate by the diagram of tho zodiac, in explaining the moon's effect, as tho signs thereof aro tho Indicators for tho guldanco of tho people, but space will not permit of this at this writing. In our lntltudo, tho months of April and May aro tho most Important for planting nnd sowing of tho seeds. Bo-for Bo-for considering fho tlmo ot planting t tho classification of these various products pro-ducts and cereals should bo under stood by tho farmer and gardener. Tho products are divided Into four classes. First claBs All Biich products and cereals whoso positive pole, or In other oth-er terms, tho placo whero tho seed or fruit ripens, Is In tho head of the stalk abovo the ground, or which tho following aro example; Wheat, rye, barley, oats, sunflower, cabbage, cauliflower, cau-liflower, top onions etc. . To lnsuro tho best results In raising rais-ing wheat, one ot tho Important products pro-ducts of our locality, It should be sown when it Is now moon In tho zodiacal zo-diacal sign Aries, In tbo month ot April, which occurs on tbo 5th, 0th and 7th. This will polarize the positive pos-itive polo ot the llfo of the kcrnol to the head ot tbo stalk and a full seed will result. If unablo to plant on these days tho next host in order aro from tho 7th to tho 12th. Whereas, If tho moon bo In tho full in tho zodiacal sign Libra during April, Ap-ril, at tho tlmo the seed Is sown, tho result will bo a largo growth ot the stalks but tho kvrnol will not All and It will bo shrunken. Second class To this class bolongs also such products and cereals whoso growth Is upright, but only to such as bear their fruit upon tho body of tho stalk, or limb and branch thereof, there-of, of which wo havo tho following: corn, peas, beans, asparagus, lettuce, tomatoes, celery, rhubarb, apples, pears, plums, bcrrios on nushes, cto. Best dat.es In April for planting aro 12, 13 and 14.. Third class To this class bolongs nil such ns vines nnd croopers, which 'parallol th0 aurfaco of tho earth, of which tho following are: strawberries, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, squash etc. Planting tlmo in April 19 to 23. Fourth class To this belongs nil products which havo their frultago under tho Burfaco of tho earth, at tho root end of tho plant, of which wo havo tho potatoes, beets, carrots, onions, turnips, parsnips etc. Best dntes In April nro from tho 28th to May 2. For tho month ot May plant and sow on dates as follows: 1st class 5 C 7; noxt best 7 to 0 2nd class 10 11 next best 11 to 1C 3d class 1G to 19; noxt best 19 to 22 4th class 27 to 30; noxt best 22 to 27 By obsorvlng tho dates heroin given giv-en (other things being equal as to (Continued on page seven) THE SCIENCE OF ASTROLOGY APPLIED TO AGRICULTURE Continued from pago one quality and condition of soil) the yield will bo enhanced from n qunrter to ono-thlrd. Dear readers: If you have not given giv-en this BUbJect nny thought and consideration con-sideration heretofore, remember those suggestions havo been and arc being tried out In many parts of tho world and all report better crops nnd greater great-er yield than they get when tno time of planting and sowing Is not considered. consid-ered. Sugar beets and potatoes are of the chief products of our locality, and as tho year In general Is Home-what Home-what unfavorable for such, much mry bo dono to help success in our effortB for better crop yield by planting same at tho times herein mentioned for this class. Thero may bo many who will smile with tho thought that thero Is nothing In this that Is presented, but I invito those to give tho matter a fair and Impartial trial and keep a record of their doings and nscertaln for thomsolvcs. If nny desire to experiment ex-periment nnd seo If there can bo any truth as clalnmed, as set rorth heroin, hero-in, let them plant and sow tho seeds as placed under class No. 4, at tho tlmo sot forth to plant class, No. 1. For example: Plant potatoes at tho time as mentioned men-tioned In this writing for thlo claas No. 4; then plant potatoes on some quality and condition of soil nt tho tlmo mentioned to plant wheat under clnss No. 1, tho result will bo that you will havo a flno crop of potato UnoB nbovo tho surfneo of tho earth, measuring from two to tnrco feet In height and when you look for tho potatoes under tho surfneo your yield will ho very small and scarce, In comparison com-parison with your planting according to scheduled time. |
