Washington, D. c., Sept. 3-Last bull
letin gave forecasts off disturbance to
cross the continent 5 to 7, warm wave 2
to 6, cool wave 5 to 9. This disturbance
will bring the high point of September
temperatures, will cause valuable rains
in Texas, the upper Mississippi valleys,
about the great lakes, in parts Of middle
and western Canada and in the Caro-
linas. Preceding this storm center very
hct weather may be expected and fol
lowing it cool weather with not much
probability of frosts even in the north
ern sections of spring wheat.
The third disturbance of September
will reach the Pacific coast about. Sep
TENDER s, cross Pacific slope by close OF
9, great central valleys 10 to II, eastern
sections 10. Warm wave will cross Pa
cifc slope about s, great central valleys
10, eastern sections II. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about II, great cen
trail valleys 10, eastern sections IS.
Warm weather will continue as this
disturbance approaches and will end
soon after it shall have passed. No
more of the sweltering heat. Light frost
may. occur in northern sections not far
from "A, but will probably do no damage
to spring wheat Not much rain will fail
anywhere on the continent as this dis
turbance passes. Many places will not
need rain, but where rains shall not have
fallen the last of this month the drouth
will be a serious matter for late rnatur-
ing corn, pastures, cotton, alfalfa, as but
little rain is expected before the last of
the month
Probably the largest acreage Of very
late corn ever known will not mature
till last week of September, and there
fore some sections viii be much in need
of moisture. Lower Mississippi valleys,
Alabama Georgia and Florida viii be
very dry and cotton will suffer deterio-
ration.
While cotton viii be favored by very
late frosts the top growth will be dam
aged BY drouth in at least one-half Of
the cotton belt. The long fiber cotton
particularly wilf be damaged by drouth
see no indications of very severe
storms during the week centering on
September II and following the distress
ing heat of the summer that week win
appear to belong on the side Of pleasant
weather.
Manipulations of the stock markets in
August came near being a very serious
thing for American finances. The grain
markets were de1noralized by the stock
and the law Of supply and de-
nand had little to do with establishing
prices.
We who are not politicians have a
right to chastise our statesmen for per-
hitting men with swollen fortunes
jumping into the homes Of eivilizatiin
like Bengal tiger into the nut of a
Bengalese, These human tigers have no
mercy on US poor mortals, but, like the
hungry fox carry off our poultry, or the
monstrous alligators destroy our swine
Just because it is easier to gain by legal
robbery than to produce by labor.
The bringing on of panics just to pun
ISL some legislator or to reap whence
they have not sown, is becoming tire
some to many people of America, and It
is time that our farmers and planters de-
rhand Of our statesmen that the thing be
stopped.
