cross the continent z8 to JANUARY 2,
warm wave 81 tos January I, cool wave
81 to nuary T. This will bring week
of severe winter storms and various
weather extremes. Jupiter, Mars, Venus,
Mercury and Saturn will all take part
in bombarding this little old earth of
ours with their electric guns. The cross
continent storm wave mentioned above
will be exceedingly severe in parts of
1.-THE country and | advise all who must
be cut in the weather TO keep well in
formed by newspaper reports as to this
very severe storfs wave. Many parts
of the earth will be afflicted by severe
storms at the same time Our Atlantic
and Pacific coasts will be swept by se-
we're storms at the same time and a great
cold wave will be passing through the
interior.
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about January 2, cross
Pacific slope by close of 8, great central
valleys 4 to &, eastern sections 7. Warm
wave will cross the Pacific slope about
3, great central valleys 4, eastern sec
tions g. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about S, great central valleys z,
eastern sections 9.
This disturbance will have two not
able features for this continent. It will
cause very severe storms on the Pacific
coasts and very high temperatures on
mid-continent After reaching the great
central valleys it will lose force and east
of meridian 90 it will again become
fierce disturbance not far from January
=. About January 8 to fo this will be
a radical storm on the northern Atlantic
steamship line to Europe.
January promises high temperatures
first ten days and week Of high tenn
peratures centering on 23. A cold week
eentering on IS and another cold week
centering on 80. The week eentering on
December 81 will be cold At the west
Of meridian 81 January will average un-
usually cold also cold in Michigan and
middle Ontario. East of line drawn
from New Orleans to Toledo thence
north along meridian 50 January will
be unsuuaily warm. The month, will
also average unusually warm on the Pa
cihc slope Indications are that the
coldest sections for January will be in
the Mississippi and Missouri valleys
north of Memphis.
North of Cairo, in Texas, oklahoma,
and about the great lakes dry weather
will prevail. Heavy rains are expected
in the Ohio valleys and eastward to
Washington, Baltimore and Philadel-
pfia Rather dry in the New England
States, Florida, South Carolina and in
Cuba. Less than usual rain in Canada
east Of the Rockies.

January weather indicates that a larg-
er than usual amount of feed will be
necessary for live stock. II also indi-
Gates considerable freezing and thawing
from Dayton, Ohio, northeastward into
Canada, therefore not good for winter
grain. Il indicates dry weather for west
OF meridian 81. not much snow, leaving
much of the winter grain sections too
dry at beginning of February. Warm
and dry in Florida and Cuba viii be im-
p9rtant to southern fruit growers, truck
farmers and gardeners
Small sunspots may be seen on Janu-
ary 10 near the center of the Sun. You
will probably not be able TO see them
through your opera glasses unless they
are more powerful than usual. Look for
very bright spots and very dark spots,
comparatively, and when you find one
look 20 degrees away for the other. The
suns face covers ISo degrees. The
outer edges Of the sun are 90 degrees
from its center as you look straight at
the sun. Keep these facts in mind and
you can better locate the sunspots Not
every sunspot has relation to effects on
our earth, but probably more than one
half do.
OF all scientific questions probably
sunspots must Be counted among the
most interesting. I propose to solve the
question of sunspots and their relation
to our weather. They may have effects
on animal life and the human race, and
if 50 younger men must wrestle with
that problem.
