Washington. Aug. 24.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent II to 26, warm wave Fl
to IS, cool wave "a to %. The next dis
turbance will reach the Pacific coast
about 20, cross west of Rockies by close
of go great central valleys 81 to Sep
tember 2, eastern states 3, Warm wave
will cross west of Rockies about 20, the
great central valleys 81, eastern states
September 2. Cool wave will cross
west of Rockies about September I, the
great central valleys 3. eastern states 5.
This disturbance will bring one Of the
greatest and the last hot wave of sum
mer. General but not necessarily dan
gerous storms will prevail on the con
tinent and following these will come a
great cool wave that will transform the
weather from very disagreeabe sum
ner hot wave to a pleasant cool wave
that will bring thoughts of the ''sere and
yellow leaf of the fall season of the
year
That cool wave will threaten frosts
far out in northwestern Canada and how
far south these frosts may come will
not now undertake to say. would not
be surprised to see frosts in the corn
belt during the passage of that cool
wave and would advise all who may
have an interest in the question Of early
northern frosts to keep sharp lookout
at that time.
The corn crop will not be matured at
that time and that will be critical time
for that crop. expect frosts in the
northern part of the corn belt at that
time, but it is too early for that which is
known to farmers as killing frosts
Immediately following August "a Sc
we're storms for the season may be ex-
pected. A cool wave moving eastward
about 400 miles a day is expected to
reach meridian 90 not far from August
from the most hot wave Of the summer
expect the hot term to continue over
till after September 1, on meridian 90,
and little later east of that line.
September promises to be rather a
pleasant month after the hot wave sched-
ued to reach meridian 90 about Sep
TENDER 1. | expect the first week of the
month to end with very cool weather as
compared with the last half of August.
A great fall in temperature is looked
for from September I to 81, with extern
sive killing frosts not far from the lat
ter date.
A great warm wave is looked for
reaching meridian 90 not far from IS,
followed by severe storms, cold wave
in the northern states and frosts last
days of September that will reach the
northern parts of the cotton belt.
Rainfall of September is expected to
be in excess in the great corn growing
sections of the Mississippi river, in the
New England states, Maryland and Viz
ginia. Elsewhere rainfall Of that month
will be deficient
temperatures of September are ex-
pected to average above normal about
and north of the great lakes, in New
England states, Florida, the Carolinas,
Alabama, Georgia and Texas. Else
where | expect temperatures to average
below normal.
These bulletins will give, in unusual
detail, my calculations for the fall
