Nov. 1. Temperature ot that week,
centering on Oct. 28, will uverugc
above normal. Don't forget that
these dates are for meridian 90, an
imaginary lino drawn from near
New Orleatut, St. Houis, Duluth and
nortltward. As all weather features
drift eostward you must, count from
ono lo three day* earlier according to

two and a half days for east of that
line. Kxeept that the tropical storms
move northeast along tho Atlantic

forecast for tine District of Columbia
and do not. try to give exact time of
weather feature movements for tho
slates south of the Hotomac and east
of l ulslana.
During the week centering on Oct.
2 8, very sovoro storms are expected
and our readers are urged lo bo pre-
pared for I hem. They will miss nine-
tenths of tho country and wo cannot
locate them, hut we are quite euro
us lo when they will occur. Heavy
rains are expected during thai week
in largo parts of tho cotton stutes.
Next warm wavo will reach Van-
couver near Oct. 30 and temperatures
will rise on all tho Pacific slopo. It
will cross ridge of Hockies by close
of Oct. SI. plains sections Nov. 1,
meridian great lakes and Ohio
valleys Nov. 2, eastern sections «,
reaching Newfoundland near Nov. 4.
Storm wavo Will follow about one
day after warm Wavo and cool wavo
about one day after storm, wave.
This will be a continuation of the
severe storm period mentioned above,
but tho storms will docroi.se as tliey
near I lie Atlantic coasts. Following
this storm wavo will come a severe
cold wavo that will cause general
! killing frosts In largo parts of the
cotton belt. We also expect some se-
vere tropical storms during this groat N gaigllng
continental storm period but cannot
now give particnars.
Our forecasts for September were
generally good except lens rain than
expected In purts of southwest and
middle west. Our temperature lines
were somewhat defective.
We still advise farmers lo soli their
surplus grain. 'While they mtglit got
higher prices by holding there are too
many risks. "A bird In hand Is worth
two In the buslvl" Is an old and very
true aaplwrlsin. Wo aro now of the
same opinion nbout cotton. The saf-
est thing Is to aell now while you can
gel good prices.
Tho discovery that the moon and
sun control the tides was made not
very many years ago. Tho scientists
who occupied government positions
In Kuropo scowled at the discovery,
denied ll. but more common people
saw tho point and forced tho ortho-
