This will be severe storm all the
way across the continent and in the
eastern states, on North Atlantic It
will be furious storm following
July 81. We continue to advise care
and careful observation Of the in
dicalions that always precede severe
storms. One Of the surest signs of
the approach Of dangerous storm
is a dark blue sky. Great storms
draw the moisture from the atmos-
phere, leaving it to appear as it
does when viewed from a high
A hurricane will probably organ

storms usually move northeastward

DRY is SO large that we have been
to put out forecasts
somewhat of q general character.
We are now able to announce great
improvements for the coming fall
md winter.
We are of opinion that, in large
PARTS of the winter wheat sections,
he July rains will put the soil in
rood condition for sowing winter
wheat. Probabilities are that Sep
ember will be a very warm month,
october warmer than usual, Novem-
ler colder than usual and December
warmer than usual. A cold, stormy
November is bad for winter wheat
nd it is advisable to SOW early in
he northern states in order that the
all growth may furnish a protec-
ion to the roots from winds, freez-
ng and thaWing in November.
Winter wheat that gets through
lext November without serious
lamage will probably be in good
condition next spring. A heavy fall
,rowth Of the wheat in September
nd October, which it will get if you
ow early, will be great protection
d November. This will apply to |
lorthwest Texas, Oklahoma, Ten
lessee, Kentucky, Virginia and also
WESTERN Maryland but not to other
outhern states.
The greatest wheat land on earth
Feeds the completion of our fore-f
asst system. We have reference to
he eastern slope, called the plains
tates and provinces. When our sys-
EN- is completed it will be known
THAT years those plains sections
viii produce wheat and that will
id immensely to the production Of
hat cereal. We are pushing the
york toward completion as rapidly
s possible.
Our general calculations for 1914
rop weather will be completed by |
he first Of October. Our progress is
low but sure and our forecasts are
urely improving all the time.
