Colsmbla's Weather Prophet Gives ont s Little Dope on the Weather Con* dltlon for the next Month. (From the Columbia State.) The Dutch Weather Prophet" here with gives a forecast of temperature, precipitation and killing frost for the South Atlantic section?the killing front embracing the region north of the parallel on which Columbia Is lo ?cated. The temperature of the month of October will be much above normal, v Ith the probability of an extension of October temperatures into the first week in November. Killing frost will occur In the region as above uamed on the period which Is central around Novei?bci 13. Kill ing frost occurred last year about three weeks earlier than the above date. There Is a double importance to the date, as above given, on account of the fact that the equinoctial storm period occurs in November this year, or at least the most stormy condi tions of the equinoctial period, for the tropical storms sometimes do oc cur even as late as December 1st. The date for such tropical storm this year is November 18. Such a storm, I believe, will affect both the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts at the period named here. Iu connection with' this forcast it. will be observed that no storm of a tropical character has so far occurred during the esui noctlal period of 1911, the Charleston storm being semi-tropical in nature and not within the course of the reg ular tropical storms. Thus my fore cast of March 10 was not misleading, and yet at the same time, that fore cant named August 29 as a period of greatest precipitation, and It was to be expected as such a season in the summer It would partake of severe character, but being ?i?luuit to locate as to where it would be more or lees destructive. The fact that it was confined to a comparatively small area shows that it would have been difficult to forecast, but yet, at the same time, very severe on account of its confined limits. ? The peculiar meteorological condi tions which have prevailed in 1911 will continue, and in a number of resoects account for the abnormal temperatures, placing the amount of heat about 500 degrees above normal for the year so far. And the end is not yet. * October will be a favorable month for harvesting crops. The periods of greatest precipitation are 12-15, with cool wave: 23-97, with cool wave. The Indications are that the week of the State fair, beginning October 30, will be fair and warm. The precipitation for the winter and spring will be much above normal. The indications are that the average amount of rainfall will have a good balance on the right hand side of the weather ledger when the farmer be ginn to plant cotton in 1912. The winter of 1911-'12 will be gen erally moderate in temperature. The dates of the colder periods will bo given later in a special forecast. Two ?nows each of the Blue Ridge are in cluded in the probllitles ,of the winter o! !911-'12. Wni. P. Houseal. Columbia, Sept 30.
