cotton seed will probably help to re-

tact that farmers will sell their seed
out so close that they will not save
enough to plant largely.

COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED.
Forecaster Anticipates Better
Conditions as Result of Storm.

Yesterdays storm is expected to bring
fairer and cooler weather conditions for
this locality for few days at least.
A large area of low barometric pressure
which was central over Iowa yesterday
morning had moved somewhat eastward
and 1t was toward this vacuum that the
winds were being sucked in from all quar-
ters yesterday afternoon. The removal Of
this low area will now give space for the
area of high pressure coming down from
the northwest, and hence new and i'm
proved conditions are provided.
You reed not look for cold wave, or
anything like that said Edward II.
Bowie. the local forecaster, yesterday.
but | expect cooler weather to follow
the storm"
Thunderstorms and high winds have
been prevalent in the States between the
Mississippi Valley and the Rocky Noun
tains and the greater portion of the
Southeast for twenty-four hours preced-
ing yesterdays storm here.
Yesterdays downpour was classified as
a thunderstorm and not tornado by the
local forecaster, for the reason that there
was a rise of the barometer during the
storm, and not fall, as is always the
case when a tornado occurs.
The temperature has risen in the North
