FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
A LONG DRY PERIOD
May Be Expected in Large Sections of
the Corn Belt From August II to II.
Some Sections of the Cotton Belt
Will also Be Dry.

copyrighted 1910 by w. 7 .Foster.)
Washington, D. c., July 3o-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent August 3 to 7, warm
wave 2 to g. cool wave 5 to 9. Two i'm
portant features will accompany this
disturbance. 1t will Immediately follow
a great high temperature wave and a
serious drouth covering last ten days
of July That drouth will not be general
but will seriously damage large sections
of the growing crop of corn. The high
temperatures will close and the drouth
disappear for time with this disturb
ance.
The second disturbance of August
will reach the Pacific coast about g.
cross Pacific slope by close of 7, great
central valleys 8 to 10, eastern sections
II. Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 6, great central valleys 8, eastern
sections 10. Cool wave will cross Pa
cifc slope about 9, great central valleys
4 .
This will be one of the most import
ant disturbances of the season. Low
temperatures will prevail and the drouth
will be broken in large sections of the
corn belt. Up to about August s the
corn crop in large sections will be Sc
riously threatened and the rains thai
will Gonna fro,,, a A,.r,-o4 < - * Iii -.
Vive hope for that cereal in many places
where it will have been seriously dam
aged.
Severe storms will develop from this
disturbance in many sections from the
Pacific to the Atlantic, and it will be
good time to be on the alert for situa-
TORS that will be safe when furious
elements are threatening. Not only
transcontinenta1 storms but tropical are
expected with a large probability Of the
Inauguration of the seasonal tropical
hurricanes.
A long dry period may be expected
in large sections of the corn belt from
August IT to ~. These seventeen days
will be very trying on the corn crop,
and soon after that drouth has gone by,
frosts will begin to threaten.
The eastern and western cotton states
are also threatened by this August
droutll, while the lower Mississippi val
leys will get too much rain. Cuba and
southern Florida win be entirely too
dry.
But the big cotton spectators have
complete control of the cotton markets
and will reap the benefits Of any further
rise in prices. The only hope of the
cotton planter is to put himself in
financial condition to hold his cotton as
the grain farmer now holds his grain,
and gets better prices.
Probabilities are that eastern Canada
will get TOO much rain in August and

dominant topic OF the governments pol
