Washington, Aug 26.-Last bulle-
tin gave forecasts Of disturbance to
cross the continent August "a to
%. warm wave % to 28, cool wave
u to 81. That period will be cooler
than usual but the trend of temper
atures will be upward. storms of
greater than usual force. not much
rain, general complaints about the
drouth.
The next disturbance TO reach the
Pacific coast about August %, cross
Pacific slope by close of 80 great
central valleys 80 to September 1,
eastern sections September 2. Warm
wave will cross the Pacific slope
about August %, great central val
leys 80, eastern sections September
A. Cool wave will cross the Pacific
slope about August 81, great central
valleys September 2, eastern sec
tions 4.
This disturbance will cause unus-
ually high temperatures and the
cool wave will go to the frost line
in many Canadian places. That fall
in temperatures will be accompan-
led by numerous showers in the
Ohio and Missouri and Arkansas
valleys. The Mississippi valley from
st. Louis to Dubuque, the New Eng
land States and near the Gulf of
Mexico and Atlantic coasts will not
get much rain.
The second disturbance of Sep
timber will reach the Pacific coast
about 2, cross Pacific coast by close
of 3. great central valleys to 6, and
eastern sections I. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about September
2, great central valleys 1, eastern
sections 6. Cool wave will cross Pa
cific slope about September 5, great
central valleys 7, eastern sections Q.
This will be cold storm with
some rain in Ohio and Missouri val
leys and more than usual probabili-
ties of frosts in northern sections.
The storms, otherwise, will be of
moderate intensities and not of any
great Importance.
September temperatures promisel
to average higher than usual from
meridian 80 eastward and about
normal west of that line. Low tenn
peratures will prevail during the
five days centering on September 8,
Ia and 26. High temperatures will
prevail during the five days CEN
tering on August 81, September IL,
% and 80. Severe storms may be ex-
pected some time during the five
days centering on September .22 and
conditions will favor the organiza-
tion of a tropical hurricane on the
Caribbean Sea about that time.
Rainfall of September will be
above normal in the Ohio, Missouri
river and Arkansas river valleys and
in Cuba; elsewhere below normal.
A large amount of winter grain is
usually sown in October. September
rainfall will put some sections in
good condition for sowing grain but
two-thirds of the winter grain lands
will be too dry in September and
October. Where the grain can be
sown the last part of October it will
probably get good rains in Novem-
ber and do better than If sown ear
lier | will be pleased to receive let
ters from those interested in this
subject. October will be dry east of
meridian 90; not so dry west of that
line. In the southern states the
winter grain is usually sown during
the winter months. The southeast
eIn sections will probably get suffi-
cient rainfall in November, but the
southwestern states may find It'll
necessary to wait until December or
January, as it looks dry in the
southwest. Cuba is promised more
than the usual amount of rain dur
ing the fall. and early winter.
These detailed forecasts for the /
sowing of winter grain will indicate
to readers of these bulletins that
some progress has been made dur
ing. the present year. We are push
ing these Investigations to the limit. |
