Week of Sept. Ik to 24, Iin
Texas and the southwest begins with
a -pell of unusually warm weather, at
first quite disturbed, showery condi-
tions, then rather suddenly changes
to cooler and much clearer for a few
days, though near middle of week
again unsettled, with frequent -hort

Late in September in these regions
the cool autumn weather usually sets

es a cold jieriod coming tin around

dropping t'i the frost level about the
northern tier of states and in the

the growing crop season, bringing
most of the field crops t<> full matur-
ity. The rains are for the most pait
showery and scattering, but are now
coming on as storms sweeping across
