Following May 2it the trend of
temperatures will be rapidly upward
together Willi a decrease iu rainfall
Storms will be of moderate force and
not dangerous. Weather will lie good
for comfort and crops except where
rainfall has been short and there it
will lie too hot and too dry for tin
growing i tops and for personal com-
fort.
June promises to start in with low
temperatures, growing warmer and
drier till about June 12 when tin
temperatures will start down ward
and local showers will Increase but
not enough rain for the needs of tin
growing crops. Near June III tin
force of tlie. slorpis will increase and
unusually cool weather will prevail.
Phis will be followed by rising temper,
atiires culminating III n great high
temperature wave niul severe locfil
drouths, relieved lu a few places by
heavy local showers. June Is not ex
pected to bo a good cropweul her

Preceding this disturbance unusual-

leys June I, eastern sections June It
and following that the trend of tem-
peratures will be upward till It
reaches a great high temperature
wave near June I I. Tlie force of
storms will Increase from May SI lo
Iiiiic 7 and during that period rough
weather will prevail in thu vicinity of
the eastward moving lows or storm
enlors. Iu a general way these lows,
or storm centers, are about moo miles
lu diameter and move eastward 4011
to 800 miles a day.
When storm center is far away clear
weather usually prevails and tlie wind
blows toward the storm center. But
near the storm center the wind blows
around it, at right angles to It and
threatening weather signs appear.
When these threatening signs appear
stand wllh your left hand toward the
point from which the wind conies and
you will be facing the storm center.
Two months ago we said South
American harvests would be Injured
by too much rain. That forecast
proved correct. Now wo say that tho
heavy ralnn In South America will
continue thru corn gathering time and
seriously Injure that crop. While
South America Is receiving too much
rain largo sections on this continent
will not get enough moisture.
The lows, or storm centers, as they
cross the continent draw tho fogs and
moist atmosphere Into them and these
fogs nnd the moist atmosphere depend
on and are located by the evaporating
forces which arc under the control of
tho moon. Tho evaporation districts
are tlie results of a double moon
force one Of which changes every
moon month and tlm other every Hlft
days. False theories adopted by sci-
entists more than HiO years ago pre-
vent them from making these discov-
eries.
The team of the Extension !k -
partineut of the ( ulvcrslty of TeXM
lliilshed a in est successful campaign
for the betterment of rural life at
McKlnncy Saturday Despite the ln>
dement weather, a number of our
citizens attended; and many others
would have felt happy at the oppor-
tunity, if weather conditions had
favorable. A good number of
farmers were also present.
Mr Charles II. Austin opened thu
discussion Ills theme was the busi-
ness side of farming, farm co-opera-
tion, and related subjects. Mr. Alia*
tin showed very clearly that Hie poor,
wasteful methods of production were
responsible for the high cost of llv«
Ing at this lime. One striking state-
ment by Mr. Austin was; "I would
make Hi roe acres produce flvo liulea
of cotton, Instead of taking seventy
acres for thai purpose." Mr. Austin
referred to the fact that I lie Intter
number of acres were sometimes nec-
essary lo produce the live bales of
cotton. "No method of marketing,"
the speaker said, "could make farm-
ing protltahie under such conditions."
Mr. ISilward IS. Davis followed Mr.
Austin, lie spoke on the Social Cen-
ter Movement iu the rural schools.
Mr, ihivls showed that II was neces-
sary to have all the forces of a com-
munity Interested In Its welfare —
men, women, and children.
Immediately after tlie noon hour
i'rof I M llruliey explained the
Work of the KxIciimIoii Department—
the present work and what the De-
partment hoped to 1111 In the future.
Mi llruliey was followed by Mr.
' C Payne of tile Farm and Bunch
it Dallas, who discussed the country
church tim a social center In I lie com-
munity.
Miss Frances Buwen of the domes-
lie economy school of the University
discussed the extent of this work now
being done by this Department. Miss
l.owen cliurui'tcrizcil domestic science
as, "A preparation for belter living."
She discussed the relation of proper
food lo cillclent work, and fully ex-
plained and demonstrated Iho mak-
ing of cream cheese. A number of
ladies were present and showed iniiali
Interest In her lecture. When she
had completed the lecture and dem-
onstration, she served thu product to
those present. ISveryoue seemed de-
lighted, ami tlie wish was often ox-
pressed that she would come back
soon.
Tho University Is fostering n move-
ment lo organize University Home
and School Clulis throughout the
