Photos by George Woodruff Since 1792, The Old Farmer's Alma nac has been uninterruptedly telling folks when to plant crops, how to dress for the Fourth of July band concert, and what quips to use when the tatting circle's conversation lags. Modern times and the move to the big city haven't dulled America's ap preciation for this folksy contribution to publishing history.

And Ameri cans again bought copies, nearly a million a year, as avidly as their grand daddies did. One standby of the Almanac has never been tampered with its year round weather forecasts which are based partly on a secret formula devel oped by an Almanac employee in the 18th century. Almanac boosters contend these daily weather predictions are about 80 percent correct, a figure mete orologists sometimes envy.
