This will be a moderate disturb

"details Of general weather changes
| for June. Below I give crop weather
forecast for June, which will largely
determine the crops of 1911. Tenn
peratures of June will average un-
usually high east of the Rockies and
lower than usual west of the Rocky
ridge. except that near the coast OF
/ the Gulf Of Mexico and within 200
miles Of, Washington, D. G., will be
EeooleP than usual.
Rainfall Of June will be Of i'm
mense Importance. A great and
general drouth will prevail east of
the Rockies. The exceptions will be
Cuba and southern Florida, south
ern Texas, southwestern Louisiana,
parts of Maryland, Virginia, South
Carolina, spots in Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Illinois.
This drouth will be general, while
the exceptions will be only small
sections. The worst part of the
drouth will cover northeastern Tex
as, Oklahoma, Arkansas, eastern
Missouri, southeastern Iowa and a
broad belt northeastward, including
all the northern states, from the
Dakotas eastward and all the prov
tinces from Manitoba eastward. am
lin doubt about the western PROV
linces west of Manitoba and states
west of the Dakotas. From Des
| Moines north and west, in the states
the drouth will be severe east of the
4 Rockies.
! This great drouth may begin lit
ttle later or a little earlier than in
idicated and 1t may continue well up

proper cultivation farmers can pull
their crops through the June drouth
