WHEN IT TURNS COLD
MERCURY WILL DROP WITH A
THUD, FORECAsTERs SAY.
CAN'T BE WARM MUCH LONGER
THIS NOVEMBER THE wARsfEsT IN
TEN YEARS.

EiGhty-nine Degrees Above the Az
erage So Far, and Warmer Wealth
err Still Predicted for TO-day-KfII-
ing FrOsts Have Occurred in Ev-
cry November Since 1902 Up to
This Year-NOthing Like n Frost

caster Boyer Says Look Out
Though When the Change Does
Come.
This is the most remarkable
weather for this period in the last ten
years." said Forecaster Boyer. yes
terday, though we will have a
change in few days, and when it does
turn cold the people will probably be
as much dissatisfied as they are now"
In making this assertion the fore
caster referred to his records for No
vember from 1892 to the present year,
and in no month had the excess in
temperature been as great to date as
in the present month. In this month
the excess has so far reached 15S de-
grees, the next nearest excess to this
being in 1896, when it amounted to So
degrees.
From this it can be seen what
remarkably warm month No
vember has been. On but two days
has the temperature gone below the
normal and that very slightly. These
days were the Sd and eth, with a tenn
perature of As and so degrees. Killing
frosts have occurred on or before Nov
"a every year, and the earliest light
frost was on the 1st in 1895. The first
killing frost was on the 9Th in 1900. Up
to the present date this year there has
been no frost or cold weather anywhere
in the frost temperature in this sec
ton.
I'VE will very likely have good deal
of cold weather this winter said Mr.
Boyer despite the fact that the tenn
peratnre has been very mild so far
There is a still higher raise in the tenn
perature predicted for to-day, but this
will be only of short duration, and 1
believe when a change does occur it
will be permanent and that the entire
country will get more cold than any
one will want"
What effect will the dry and warm
spell have on the crops?"
What do you take me for, a far
mer?" replied the forecaster. Really
that is a question I cannot answer,
though / would think it would not re-
suit very favorably. The most of the
crops in this section at this season OF
the year is truck gardening, and ]
