tropical storms usually move north
eastward off our Atlantic coasts.
About first of September we will
inaugurate an improvement in our
forecasts, giving them more in de-
tail and localizing them. Our terri
tory is so large that we have been
compelled to put our forecasts some
what of a general character. We are
now able to announce great improve
ments for the coming fall and win
ter.
We are of opinion that, in large
parts of the winter wheat sections,
the July rains will put the soil in
good condition for sowing winter
wheat. Probabilities are that Sep
tember will be very warm month,
October warmer than usual, Novem-
Der colder than usual and December
warmer than usual. A cold, stormy
November is bad for winter wheat
and it is advisable to SOW early in
the northern states in order that the
fall growth may furnish a protection
to the roots from winds, freezing
and thawing in November.
Winter wheat that gets through
next November without serious dam
age will probably be in good condi-
tion next spring. A heavy fall
growth of the wheat in September
and October-which it will get if you
SOW early-will be a great protec-
tion in November. This will apply
to northwest Texas, Oklahoma, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Virginia and
western Maryland but not to other
southern states.
Our general calculations for 1914
crop weather will be completed by
| the first of October. Our progress
is slow but sure and our forecasts
are surely improving all the time.

MEAT MUST MEET
Pure FOOD TESTS
No Products Are Now Exempt
From Federal Control.
ORDER is FARREACHING.

Agricultural Department Can Entirely
Prevent Sale of Spoiled or AduIter-
ated Meat or Meat Products-Manu-
facturers Now AmenabIe to Rdre
Food and Meat Inspection Laws.
Domestic meat and meat products
have been finally put under the pro
visions of the pure food and drugs act
as the result of unanimous action Ne
Gently by the secretaries of the treas
ury, agriculture and commerce, sup
ported by an opinion Of the attorney
general. This means that manufac-
turers of meat foods will now be amen
able to both the food and drugs act
and the meat inspection law.
The farreaching and radical action
taken was to revoke a regulation for
the enforcement of the food and drugs
act, adopted Oct. II, 1906. exempting
meat and meat food products and their
producers from the operation of the
act.
Some time ago Secretary Houston
asked the attorney general for an opin-
ion as to whether the provisions of the
food and drugs act were applicable to
meat products prepared under the
meat inspection law, and Mr.. Nc
Reynolds replied that, while the two
statutes overlap to some extent, nei-
ther was inconsistent with the other.
nor did congress intend that one
should be the substitute for the other.
Laws Do Not Conflict.
The department of agriculture now
has the power to treat meat and meat
products exactly like any other food
in interstate commerce, but this will in
no way interfere with the powers OF
the department under the meat inspec.
ton act. The revocation of the regu'
lations gives the government control
over meat foods not only In federally
inspected establishments, but after the
meat product has left such establish
mentS.
Meat inspectors had no power undel
the meat inspection law 10 seize meal
or meat food products which were eli
ther spoiled or adulterated after they
had left a federally inspected estab
lishment. The only remedy TO be hat
by the department was the cr1mina
prosecution of any one selling bat
meat. and even then the meat coult
not be conffscated or it's sale stopped.
May Seize Spoiled Meat.
Under the new decision it now will
be possible for the government 10 sei1t
spoiled meat and prevent the sale o.
bad OF adulterated meat and mea
products when in interstate commerce
Manufacturers viii be compelled h
comply with the provisions of the foot
and drugs act with respect to labelling
and prosecution and seizure for mis-
branding and adulteration will be pos
Sible
