bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance TO
cross the continent November 80 to De
cember i, warm wave November 20 to
December 3, cool wave December to

slope about 2, great central valleys 9,
eastern states II.
This disturbance will give the tenn
peratures another push upward and we
will wonder whether spring time is re-
turning Very little rain and no snow
except far northward At that time we
will be at the beginning of a long spell
of fine, dry, warm weather. Winter
wheat will take on a large growth and
farmers will take advantage of the good
weather in delivering large quantities
Of grain to the markets.
These conditions will have a large
influence in depressing prices of grain
A large acreage of winter wheat has
been sown and the splendid weather of
December will give it large root and
top growth If later weather should be
severe this heavy top growth of wheat
will protect the roots and seem to in
dictate large yield of wheat next year.
December will be an unusually warm
month Highest temperatures will be
during the week centering on I6. Not
much snow or rain from 5 to 10. Lat
-er date will be followed by cool wave
md later by a cold wave. Some rain
or snow IS to 81 and then dry to end
IF month.

ng the week centsring on 20 and blus-
ering weather not far from IL. Last
