Montgomery, March 1s.-The weekly and

tons of the United States weather bu-
reau, which have heretofore given COM
plete information to prevailing
weather conditions and effect of the same
on farm work, planting, progress and
maturing of the ul1erent crops, will here
after be confined to weather exclusively.
A branch of the weather bureau here
tofore known as the climate and crop
service has been changed and will here
after be known as the Chronological SER
vice of the bureau
The local office of the bureau has here
tofore had charge of the climate and crop
service work in Alabama. Inquiry rela-
tive to the date when the weekly climate
and crop bulletins were to be resumed
elected the above information.
1t is understood that the weekly and
monthly bulletins are still to be issued
by the Montgomery office, but that all
crop information will be eliminated. II
appears that similar changes have been
made in the bureaus work in all other
sections or states.
The weekly climate and crop bulletins
