ward Jordon of Austin and Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Joiner and daughter, Miss
Alberta with a chicken barbecue
Wednesday evening.
Texas and the southwest begins with
clear, cool weather, which soon turns
much warmer, but is then followed by
a period of quite changeable temper-
atures as some scattering rains “drift
across mostly in north Texas, Okla-
homa, the Ozark plateau and eastern
Texas. Soon after this disturbed spell
temperatures decline and by end of
week becomes quite clear and cool
in most sections. Probably consider-
ably less than the normal rainfall in
west Texas, but about north and
eastern parts fairly close to normal.
About the middle of August this
year a cool spell is indicated in near-
ly all parts of the country but it will
likely be followed by a period of
excessive heat which reaches a cli-
max around the 20th in west and
22nd on Atlantic slope. Then com-
mences a rapid decline in tempera-
tures in all sections and around 23d
to 26th falling to much below the
normal for this time of year. This
is read, from the weather map pro-
jections, as a cold, stormy spell com-
ing into central states from the
northwest and upon sweeping through
drops to the level of a cold wave. No
frosts are expected, yet in the north-
ern tiers of states this cold wave
will quite likely bring all field crops
to maturity and end the growing
season. Warm days follow, but this
is the end of the summer weather.
