Pacific coast about Goth, cross the west
Of Rockies country by close OF 2Oth, the
great central valleys July to 8 and
the Eastern states about the ith.
Average rains may be expected
through the central portions OF tho
United States, leaving u deficiency In
the extreme North and South.
Warm wave will cross the west OF
Rockiou country about June 49, great
central valleys July / and Eastern
states July 8. Cool wave will cross
the west of Rockies country about "a
great central valleys July and East
orn states about 9Th
This cool wave Will inaugurate an
extended cool period, and what Is here
in designated ms the cool half OF the
month,
Each month Is usually divided into
about two weeks OF cool and two
weeks OF warm weather and the diff
ference In the average temperature OF
these two periods Ia almost universally
of ~ radical type. II is OF great i'm
portanco to know when these warm
and cool periods will occur.
Each OF these twelve to flfteen days
warm period has two storm waves and
Two cool waves, and each OF the twelve
to f,fteen days cool period has the
same.
Most rain falls during the cool Pc
RODS and the evaporation and drouth
symptoms are experienced during the
warm periods,
challenged the world in making
long range forccasts OF these warm
and cool periods and whoever tests
the accuracy OF these bulletins In fore
casting these periods VIII lind the fore
casts, in that respect at least. wonder

The rain bel, for July appears to OK
