Storm forces will be about normal
and the most severe winter storms
will be along the line from Nancou-
YER TO yewfoundiand and about the
Mexican gulf.
During all of November good crop
weather will prevail in South Amer
lea. Fer crop weather their Novem-
Der is about the same as our May,
and good rains in South America in
November promise good crops for
that country.
Except in northern sections good
weather for corn gathering is ex-
pected in the corn belt to end Of
November. Not quite so good for fin
ishing The cotton picking in the ex-
treme south.
December storm line is expected
to move south on the Atlantic coast
so that the line of storm forces for
December will extend from Wash
ington, d. c., to Vancouver, B. c.,
and along that line the principal
winter storms will occur in Decem-
Der, with probabilities favoring deep
SHOWS in northern Rockies.
The storm forces of December
will be most inense, and therefore,
indicating the most severe storms OF
the month not far from 2, II, %, 20.
Details will be given later.
At great expense of money and
labor we have put in hard years
work on our system of fOrecastlng.
Because of our great anxiety to inn
prove our system of long range fore
casting we took no vacation during
the summer and are now able to as
sure the friends of our weather
work that for 1914 our forecasts,
particularly Of rainfall, will be bet
ter than ever before.
We are now we'll satisfied with
our system of forecasting except
that sometimes the small up and
down movements Of. the tempera-
lures may be defective. We have the
rainfall problem, i'll general way,
solvd. The forecasts of rainfall w,ll
not be perfect, but good enough for
practical purposes. We will gener-
ally succeed in forecasting cold
waves and frOsts. We have the dates
of the great storms and can now, to
some extent, point out their loca-
tions. Our forecasts of crop weather
and probable crop conditions will
surely be 1Sbre valuable than ever
before.
Friends of our forecasts can as
sist us by getting their neighbors
enough interested to subscribe for
newspapers and magazines that
publish our work.
