COMING WINTER WILL BE
REMEMBERED FOR YEARS
Below Normal Temperatures For jan
nary and February Predicted.


one that will he remembered for
many years. on account Of some vcry
unusual features. r. the prediction Of
John r. Timmons the distinguished
horticultural expert of Cadir. q. In
a recent representation he SAYS that
every Indication points 10 a late and
beautiful autumn. with but few KILL
Ing frosta more than n month later
han common. aud very unueunllv
warm In some sections. where fruit
rees Will bloom and many forms Of
vegetation such as we are accustomed
to ~ only In early spring will appear.
and thousands Of persons will gather
green's Just ms they do In the early
part OF April In most parts Of the
country.
In the far eastern portion OF the
country and pretty well south along
the mountains Of our Southwestern
States. froets and even ice viii come
pretty early. and some forms Of vere-
tatiOn will suffer. but later there viii
be the finest Kind Of weather, rcsem-
bling summer. which will extend far
into the last months OF the year.
The Western and Central States viii
have n very late autumn. and even
Western Canada win escape the usual
wintry blasts that ~ often chill the
country to such an extent that the
fan months are almost equal to win
ter.
Last winter was noted for ita cold
streaks. and one OF these was the won
derfully warm spell IN the middle OF
tie time allotted us FOR winter. The
Temperature was up 90 Summer heat
In many Of the middle and western
soctionA but u viii be just the oppo-
site this winter. We shall have tom
pcraturca below normal IN January
and February. Winter win be shorter
than u has been on some former oc-
casions. but we win be satisfied when
Il begins 20 moderate.
} After the most intense cold we have
expcrlenced for years we shall have n
floods VIII result. and folks viii be
congratuiatlng themselves on the like
hood OF an early spring. but n would
be advisable 20 walt until the fore
east Of the truthful caterpillar has
been realized.
} m the indications hold good. we
shall have n very late and backward
spring. with real winter M the time
} we should have sprinE-likc weather.
The caterpillar shows llFht In front
followed with very well defined
dark spot Of considerable alze. and
this dark INDICATES our midwinter
snap.
Then the light appears again. and
this Indicates the warm spell. and n
there was no more dark there would
he n prospect OF very early spring.
but another dark spot appears to-
ward the rear OF the. caterpillar. and
this viii bring the late and unseason-
able cold at the time we should have
Our mild weather.
Last winter was noted for ia un-
usual severity In some OF the Southern
States where We naturally expect a
mild climate.
The far North. where we naturaii,
expected severe weather. had n mild
winter. and these conditions were due
10 the fact that most OF the seismic
disturbances during the last months
OF last year we're IN the North.
The earthquakes during the past
few weeks have been more noticeable
In the southern portion OF the nor
thern hcmiaphcre. and this win modi-
~ tho weather IN tho southern Sec
tiona OF our country while the cold
viii be intense In the more northern
portions. and all through the northern
part OF North America the tcmpera-
turo will range far below normal dur.
Ing a great portion OF our winter
, period.
II has been many years since the
vernal Equinox was on the "a OF Sep
TENDER.
u has been more than a century
since the United States experienced ~
little disturbances NJ the equinox IN
was experienced this year. No storms
OF any degree appeared except along
the north Pacific coart.
In this part OF the world the lowl
and highs. as we are used 10 speaking
OF the relative atmoapheric condi-
tions which move across the country,
producing the changes IN our weather
were moving slowly as at any other
time Of the year which Ia different
from the usual condition az the period
OF the equinox.
Laryaea OF Insects are deeper In the
earth. field mice and other burrowina
animals are nesting deeper. and bark
on new wood In much thicker. and
weeds are thicker where roots will
need protection. All these indicate
severe freezing.
In almost every section OF the coun-
Try where there was shortage OF
rainfall during the summer montha
autumn rains have replenlnhcd run.
ming springs and n cold weather doei
come live stock viii not suffer for the
want OF water.
Rainy autumnz are pretty certain
Indications OF severe freezing during
the winter. while dry autumn months
often foretell a mild. open winter.
Autumn leaves tinted with frost In.

leaves die and fall of without frosi

more than ordinarily cold.
