  1. The Weather - Signs of Good Weather.
    June 15th , 1937.
    When the sky seems far away. When the swallows fly high. When cattle lie down during a shower. When mountains look distant. When the bark of an ash tree peels. When wild ducks fly in V shape. When the clouds are high in the sky. When crows fly high. Where smoke ascends straight. When sun is red while sinking in the evening. When the cricket leaves the fireside. When suckers of an ash tree begins to bud.
    John Donnelly, Drogheda Street, Monasterevan, Co. Kildare.
