I am not expecting severe storms with
this disturbance. In the drouth sections
the forces will develop into heat and in
the districts Of excessive rains for Sep

The rainfalls of September will be
excessive in southern and southwestern
Texas, probably as far north as Dallas
and Fort Worth, and the cotton rcop Of
southern Texas will be greatly bene-

have a long and vigorous growth.
The northern lakes will also get an
excess Of rain in September and the
country thereabouts viii be greatly ben
Gifted as to the late crops and pastures.
Warm weather and rains will particu-
larry be favorable TO late corn.
Some places in middle and western
Canada will get too much rain IN Sep
TENDER for late crops, but generally the
crop weather of September will be fay-
orable to those sections Eastern Can
ada viii get sufficient rain excepting a
few small scattered localities.
North and South Carolina will get
sufficient rain in September and their
cotton crop viii be greatly benefited
thereby Top cotton will make long
and vigorous growth.
The balance of the country, including
Cuba, will have a deficiency of rain, ex-
cept a few small localities about Chi

local rains win bring relief
This leaves a very large section Of
country with a large deficiency Of mois-

with the exceptions mentioned. Most
rain will fall not far from September
