Washington, July i5.--Last bulle-
| tin gave forecast of disturbance TO
cross the continent July f6 to 20, a
warm wave Is to i9, cool wave IL to
%. During the passage OF this dis
| turbance showers are expected to
be more frequent and more general
than for some time past. Tempera-
lures will go up rapidly but will not
| remain high very long. Storm forces
will increase and near July 20 small
spots are expected on central parts
| of the sun. This disturbance will in
clude the most stormy part Of the
month, and these storms will give
relief TO many drouth and heat sec
tions where the last preceding cool
wave shall have failed to bring
showers.
The next disturbance will reach
the Pacific coast about July %, cross
Pacific slope by close of "a, great
central valleys 25 to q, eastern sec
Itions %. Warm wave will cross the
Pacific slope about July %, great
central valleys 25, eastern sections
81. Cool wave will cross the Pacific
slope about July 26, great central
valleys 20, eastern sections 30.
This disturbance will inaugurate
another hot and dry period, anoth-
er dead calm, another sweltering
heat period. But not so bad as we
have just passed through, and hav-
ing become used to the intense heat
Iof summer. perhaps we shall not
Isuffer much.
If general showers come to the
l grain sections about the middle of
July grain prices will probably slide
downward, producers will get a
scare, and grain, particularly corn,
will be rushed to market. Don't do
lit. Farmers act very foolish when
they rush corn to market before
they know the results of August
crop weather. An old saying was
l"There is luck i'm leisure"
| If farmers get uneasy and-want to
let go of their old corn local cash
dealers should take it in and keep it.
Don't ship it to the central markets.
They will be more anxious for it
llater on.
/ E. w. Wagner & Co., one of the
Imost extensive grain agencies in
Chicago, in a recent letter to Fos-
lter's Weather Bureau says: I'VE
lmust congratulate you on your mag
nificent weather forecasts. Your
May-June weather forecasts have
been absolutely correct. Many of the
visitors to our office are remarkine
Ion this wonderful prescience on
lyour part
Last bulletin discussed the value
Iof grain options to the miller. Take
another class. There are grain firms
who contract to deliver million
bushels in Europe on an agreed
lprice. Such contracts may bring q
profit or loss of 100000 and there is
lno method of insurance that will
Icover the rise in prices except op-
tions. When the firm sells for future
delivery to Europe they buy the
same amount at option, and then, nc
matter which way grain prices go
the contractors know just wha
their profits will be. Foolishness tt
, talk about abolishing the boards o.
trade. They would be useful insti-
1 tutions if the millionaire manipulat.
: Ter, who is the real tiger-cat of tht
3 grain business, could be put out. Gt
; latter him and thereby purify th'
: -lboards of trade and then they viii
J be useful. They are now catspaws o
the big manipulators while farmers
and small option spectators are tn,
llosers. Millers, agencies and con
!. TRACTORS are not to be classed a
1 spectators.
: Next UulletlH Will give genera
forecasts of August crop weathe
/ and no more important forecas
s than that will be has gone out from
8 Fosters Weather Bureau. That bul
Iletin will speak out in plain, posi-
tive language about the effects 0
: -lAugust crop weather.
