ance will be unusually high temper
atures and dry weather. Generally
quiet, sluggish summer weather may
be expected and too dry for the gOod
of the %groWing crops. The May
drOuth made itself seriously felt IN
many places and the result will have
a bearing on the total amounts OF
the 1911 crops.
In some places too much rain fell
in May, in others just about enough,
but the records of rainfall for June
1911 will show a great deficiency OF

weather for June, and some rains
will fall in the drOuth sections as
the cool wave comes in. This June
hot period will cover 8 to 10 days
beginning not far from June IL and
ending not far from 21. Following
June 2i the storms will begin to
make inroads on the great June
drouth and probably most places
will get rain before the end OF the
month. But in many places thel
drouth will have seriously damaged
the crops and a total recovery will
be impossible.
Beginning about June 20 many
planetary causes Will operate to-
wards stirring up the atmosphere.
The atmosphere would become stag
nant and unusually warm if these
planetary influences did not stir
things. Electric forces operate be-
tween the planets and stir the at
mosphere causing storms, rains etc.
When the electric forces are unus-
ually active we have unusually cold
weather, and when these storm
forces are lacking the atmosphere,
being quiet, is heated by the suns
rays.
When a planetary force strikes
the upper atmosphere it moves
northward to the north magnetic
pole where it comes down in right
handed spiral forming a cool wave
or a cold wave known as the high.
The force of that high organizes a
low in front of it, that low being
called the storm center or storm
wave. That high and that low be-
come pair, but the high is the con-
trolling force. The two are known
as the transcontinental storms and
their movements are eastward.
The tropic storms are organized
by tne planetary electromagnetic
forces going from the earth, and in
that class of storms the low is the
moving force. When the earth isl
overcharged the electromagnetic
forces break away from the earth
through low in the center of
which the forces move upward and
all around, at the bottom, inward.
These tropical storms form about
or westward from the Azores and
move westward near latitude 30 andI
soon become tropical hurricanes.
They are of great interest on the
continent because they organize our
cold waves, cause all our severe
frosts, including our early and late
killing frosts. When a tropical hur-
rieane is discovered southeastwardI
in September or October, April or
May, later or earlier, it is time to
look out for cold waves or north
ers, or killing frosts or severe
freezes.
