1892, May 29 to 30, Graham, Texas. —“ May 29 and 30, hot south winds; 
corn blades slightly burned.” A. B. Gant, voluntary observer. 
1892, May 29 to 30, Roby, Texas. —“Hot winds have occurred about 
every year since I have been in this section (six years). However, they 
have not always come at a time when they would damage crops, as they 
did on May 29 and 30, this year. They affected the wheat strangely. 
The crop was in bloom. The chaff opened out, exposing the germ of 
the kernel, just commencing to form. It did no more; never filled. 
They affected the crop in spots or streaks. These winds were from the 
southwest and commenced about 1 p. m. on the 29th.” Hamilton Foster, 
voluntary observer. 
1892, May 29 to 30, Copeville, Texas.-— 11 On Sunday, May 29, hot winds

the southwest.” M. E. Campbell, voluntary observer. 
1892, May 29 to 30, Ben Franldin, Texas. —“May 29 was warm, with

Ross, voluntary observer. 
1892, May 29 to 30, Plano, Texas. —“The hot winds of May 29 killed

six acres. The others were in spots about 25 feet wide and of various 
lengths.” R. L. Livingston, voluntary observer. 
1892, May 29 to 30, Elkhart, Texas.— “The hot winds touched this vi¬ 
cinity lightly. One or two farms were injured, apparently by something 
hot crisping the plants, but they may yet develop a slight yield of cot¬ 
ton.” James W. Bryan, postmaster. 
1892, May 29 to 30, Haskell, Texas. —“May 29, hot winds, but little

tion at about 2:30 p. m.” H. R. Jones. 
1892, May 29 to 30, Mount Vernon, Texas. —“The hot winds struck the

ing the same, but no damage to vegetation other than withering of 
plants.” Thos. Wood, voluntary observer.
