counseIs Visitors to the jamestown
Exposition to Make the Trip During
August Says Temperature Of That
Month Will be Most Favorable of all

The temperature of August will be
the most favorable for visiting the
jamestown exposition as l expect but
little rain about Washington during
that month"; says Professor w. II.
Foster in mis- latest weather bulletin.
Ten days of serious and damaging
drouth may be expected in some of
the principal corn growing sections of
the Missouri and middle Mississippi
valleys, according to weather fore
cast This heated term for the latter
part OF July the bulletin predicts will
be partially broken by occasional
showers and cooler weather. Storm
forces will be above the average DUR
ing this month. but the most danger.
Gus storms will come near the close Of
July.
Indications are that the great hot
wave will affect the middle west much
more than it will the eastern states.
Corn growers are advised hat the
price of corn will reach a high mark
and are urged not to sell at figure
lower than so. Following is the bulle-
tin in detail:
Weather Forecast.
Washington, D. c.. July 13.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent IL to 15, warm wave
10 to Ia cool wave 10 to IL. Next dis.
turbance will reach Pacific coast about

This disturbance will bring a heated
term, a great hot. wave and the high.
est average temperature of the month
Ten days Of serious and damaging
drouth may be expected in some OF
the principal corn-growing sections OF
the Missouri and middle Mississippi
valleys.
This heated term will probably close
by 81 to % and about that time the
droutn will be partially broken by oc.
casional showers and cooler weather.
Storm forces will be above the average
but the most dangerous storms will
come later in the month, particulars of
which will be given in the next bull
letin.
Indications are that the great hot
wave will affect the middle west much
more than 1t will the eastern states. |
expect moderate temperatures in Mary.
land and eastern Virginia during, July,
averaging only a few degrees above
normal and therefore fairly good
time to visit Washington and the
Jamestown exposition. Not much rain
in July.
The temperature of august will be
more favorable for visiting Jamestown
and expect but little rain about
Washington during that month Prob
ably a little more rain about Norfolk
and jamestown in August than in
July. would advise August and Sep
TENDER as the best time for visiting
Washington and jamestown. My bull
letins. dated July 20 and 81, will give
more specific advice on that subject.
l am now preparing my 1908 crop
weather forecasts and expect to have
them completed by first Of October
BY that time the results of my crop.
weather forecasts for 1907 will have
been determined. About beginning Of
1907 the market price of corn at Chi
cago was AZ cents. I advised farmers
not to sell and these bulletins predict.
ed 60 cent corn at Chicago. 1t is now
above Sd and am confident that it
will go to co. But be on the alert
for the tricks of the great spectators
If you undertake to speculate on my
advice those great spectators will
cause a sudden temporary drop and
cause you to lose out. But if you have
the actual corn you can hold it through
the fluctuations caused by the great
speculator rings. To the common
dealer there is no safety. nothing that
is fair, loaded dice, in options Those
great SPECTATORS who manipulate the
markets cause more loss, are more
deserving Of prosecutions, than are the
trusts.
