FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington. July l.-(Copyrighted,
1911. by W. T. Foster) -Iast bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent July to Z, warm wan I'd to
9Th, cool wave 9TH to 9th. This will
be a hot wave storm, but 1t promises
to bring good showers in many places
as the cool wave comes In. Near July
A all weather events will greatly in.
crease in force and severe storms may
be expected II earthquake countries
should get shocks near July 3, then
our storm disturbances will be of
much less force. Earthquakes are not
frequent in the states nor in Canada,
and east of the Rockies they are rare,
therefore the principal interest for us
in earthquakes Is that they lessen the
probabilities of severe storms when
earthquakes occur any place on earth.
Earthquakes and tornadoes come to
us through electromagnetic.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about July Z, cross Pacific slope
by close of Sth, great central valleys
9th to 18th, Eastern sections 18th.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about July 7, great central valleys 9th,
Eastern sections 18th. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about July 10, great
central valleys 18th, Eastern sections
14th.
! This will be another hot wave storm
but good rains will be more probable
than in the preceding disturbance.
Where the drouth continues all other
weather signs fail. The disturbances
develop nothing but heat and all the
other weather features fail to appear.
Because of these facts my storm wave
forecasts seem to fail in drouth sec
tions. In these drouth sections the
reader should expect hot wave in
stead of the regular storm wave
weather features. The cool wave fol-
lowing this disturbance will bring
lower temperatures than usual.
While July is not expected TO be an
exceedingly stormy month, the storms
will be more than usually numerous
and a few of them severe; most Sc
we're, not far from July 4, 10 and Au-
gust /. The fourth disturbance of July
will reach Pacific coast about July II,
cross Pacific slope by close of 18th,
great central valleys 18th to 18th, East
ern sections 10th. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about July IL, great
central valleys 18th, Eastern sections
18TH Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about July IA, great central val
leys 10th, Eastern sections 18th.
This win be low temperature dis
turbance and promises good rains in
many places. Principal rains will come
with next disturbance
The predicted drouth for May and
June was more in the southwest parts
of the great central than was expect
ed. The general effects of the drouth
on the crops have been in accord with
the forecasts, but some localities in
the North and Northeast got more rain
than was expected.
During the latter months of 1910
these bulletins exposed the falsity of
the reports that crops were greater
than ever before produced, and be-
cause of 1911 expected drouth farm.
ers were advised not to sell hay, oats
and corn. But oats were beaten down
to 80 cents, corn to As cents, and those
who sold against the advice of these
bulletins now regret it.
do not wish to criticise the United
States weather bureau, but | submit
this problem: Which is the most val
liable to the country the information
given out by these bulletins or that
given out by the United States
weather bureau?
