Washington, ID. c., Oct. Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturb
ance to cross the continent October
| / to 8. and 10 to II. Warm waves
October 3 to 7 and to 49, Cool
waves October 6 to 10 and II to is.
The great hot wave is expected to
reach eastern sections about 8 and
| the week centering on October II
will be of the moderate type all over
the country. During the five days
centering on October 10 light rains

Not much rain east of that line.

tions 20 Warm wave will cross the
Pacific slope about October Is, the
great central valleys II, eastern sec
tons 10. Cool wave will cross Pa
cific slope about October IS, great

tons %.
This will be one of the most Sc
we're storms of October and all the
weather elements will go to eX-
tremes except that not much rain
may be expected. Temperatures will
reach high degrees and a cold wave
in northern sections will follow. The
term cold wave means that temper
allure will fall 20 degrees or more
and go down to the freezing point.
Killing frosts near and north of par
allel 80 may be expected following
this cold wave.
| am of opinion that top cotton
will not be killed in October and
that the cotton crop will generally
improve during that month. Posi-
bly, too dry for cotton in southwest
ern Texas and the Carolinas. Octo-
Der has very dry appearance for
all the country east of meridian IS.
1t is reported that squirrels,
ground squirrels, mice and other
wild animals are storing an unusual
amount of winter food. Many people
believe this to be a sure sign that t
we are to have a long, cold winter. !

er these theories have any real
foundation and do not condemn
before examination. But very cold
March is the only Indication /. see
that the theories may be good My
do not show that the
winter months will be more than
usually severe.
The long cold winters usually
bring much snow and my calcula-
lions do not show any excess of
snow. In fact the whole winter
ooks dry to me, I expect very Sc !
we're weather about and following
october 16, sunspots October Is to
20, and earthquakes near October

Iuakes. Sunspots, electrical storms
md severe weather near November

lad weather, electrical storms. and
near February 10. This
asst date will bring notable events.
