tcspvrighted. 1895, BY W. T. Foster.1

last bulletin gave forecasts Of The
storm waves to cross the continent
from July cath to 18th. The next
will reach the Pacific coast about July
28th, cross the western mountain
country BY close Of 2sth, the great
central valleys from 30th to Aug. LIST
and the eastern states about the I'd.
This disturbance will inaugurats
one Of the cool periods Of . month Of
very great extremes.
The warm wave will cross the west
Of Rockies country abou: 18th. great
central valleys 30th and eastern states
Aug. 1st. Cool wave will cross the
west Of Rockies country about 3lst,
great central valleys Aug. I'd, and the
eastern states 4th.
GENERAL AUGUST WEATHER.
Unusual weather may be expected
next month; unusual il many re-
spscts. Killing frosts will occur in
some portions Of the northern states.
These frosts will probably occur at
two periods In the month with an
interval Of about two weeks. Of
course, extensive frosts are not ex.
pscted IN this midsummer month.
These frost dates will come with
the cool waves expected to cross the
continent from 9th TO 10th and 18th
to 22d.
The temperature Of August will
average above on the Pacific slope,
below in tho great central valleys and
about normal on the Atlantic coast.
The lowest monthly average tempera-
ture will be 10 the Ohio, Missouri and
upper Mississippi valleys and the up
per lake country.
The cool weather Of August will
probably retard the corn crop so that
late corn will be injured by the gcner.
81 killing frosts about the middle Of
September 10 the northern corn belt.
Cold waves very seldom occur in
August, but in . limited part of the
upper Mississippi aud upper Missouri
valleys the sudden change not far
from August goth will almost amount
to, cold wave. To constitute . cold
wave the temperature must fall Is
much as twenty degrees in twenty.
four hours, causing q freeze or frost,
and in this case will require . fall
from about GO to Az. Frosts some
times occur at 40.
Rainfall Of August will be not far
from the general average. De6cien.
cies will occur on the Atlantic coast
from New York north and Charleston
south. Between these two points
rainfall will b about normal.
In Georgia and the southern states
further west, about an average Of
rainfall may be expected.
A little above the average of rain.
fall may be expected in the Ohio and
Missouri valleys, and the counties
north Of them.
Rainfall will be shsrt On the Pa.
cilc coast.
Severe storms may be expected in
August, not far from the 9Th and 9th.
Earthquake shocks will probably
Be reported from earthquake countries
from August goth to 22d, and auroras
will be At their brightest in northern
countries about August 22d. August
9Th will also be an aurora date, but
the full moon will probably obscure
the auroral lights.
My calculations for 1896 rainfall
and temperature are now complete.
FALL SOWING.
In the great central valleys the
weather conditions Of August, Sep.
tsmber and October, 1895, will be
very favorable to fall seeding and
quite unfavorable in the Atlantic
August and September will
be too dry on the Atlantic coast, and
north Of Washington too cool.
Temperature and rainfall in the
great central valleys will be almost
the reverse Of what will be exper.
fenced on the Atlantic coast, and the
will generally be favorable
10 fall sewing in the great central
and against the Atlantic
The Atlantic states will have shur.
