WASHINGTON, d. c., April 23.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent u to 25 and 20 to 30.
These disturbances were not expected to
he of much Importance except that crop
weather would be extensively improved
by them and thereby all crops would be
greatly improved.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about April 30, cross Pacific slope
by clos, of May l., great central valleys
2 to I, Atlantic sections 5. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about April 30,
great central valleys May 2, eastern
parts g. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about May 3, great central valleys
5, eastern sections z.
The feature of this disturbance will
be cool weather, too cool for good crop
weather and not much rain. Most rain
will fall in Texas and about the great
lakes. This cool weather does not look
good for.the crops, Missouri will have
fair rains. but in much of the country
dry weather will threaten,
May does not look good for crops
Too cold and in many places the rain
fall will he short. A streak of country
about 200 miles long and stretching
from eastern provinces of Canada to
Mexico will have about average rainfall
during May and all other sections except
Florida will be too dry
The month of May will be unusually
cool except in eastern Canada and il:
the Atlantic states where temperatures
will be about normal. 1t will be
particularly cool and bad for crops from
May to & and from IL to %. Warm
8 to IL and "a to last of month. Alto
gether May will be cold, bad crop
month in most parts of North America.
Severe storms are probable May to
IL and 81 to last of month. Altogether
May will be cold, bad crop month in
IN ost parts of North America
Severe storms are probable May to
IL and 10 to % and 90 to June 1.
Particularly dry weather 10 to 90 A
notable cold spell IL to 20. This will be
the black berry winter. In most parts
of the civilized world it is claimed by
those who give attention to traditions
that IL cold spell about May ID or IA
assures Il good blackberry crop and that
Il warm spell about that time is bad for
the black berries. This crop spell is
very marked on my monthly charts for
May 1900. Let us watch the cold
spell and then watch the black
berries The hot wave centering on
May 90 will probably be as high as the
cool wave centering on May Is will
be low.
The prices Of grain seem to be m
natual and too high. They will proba-
bly, not remain as high as now but 1 am
of the opinion they should not go back
to their level previous to the corner on
wheat Farmers now have the upper
hand and should hold it by selling
while the prices are high and if the
prices should suddenly fall to near their
former level not bushel should be sold.
[ cannot promise any boom crops this
year and all farmers products should
bring good price.
Every farmer should enter into an
organization for the purpose of counter
acting the spectators rings These
speculative schemes, plotted against
farmers DrOlT1ctS ara ruinO11S TN lnr;t
innate business. The agricultural inter-
ests contain the last hope of our
republic and all patriots should aid in
protecting the markets of farm
products
