Washington, u. @, Feb H. Last bali
letin gave forecasts Of disturbance to
cross the continent 10 to ID, warm wave
q ID ID. cool wave Iz u 16. During and
JUST previous 10 this disturbance viii be
unusually warm and following it much
colder weather, probably amounting to
4 cold wave This will also be one of
the principal precipitation periods Of the
month. Most precipitation in southern
and northeastern states and eastern
provinces Not much precipitation in
western provinces and northwestern
states.
Tie next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about Is, cross the Pacific
slope BY close Of 10, great central valleys
II to 10, eastern sections 90 Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about Is,
great central valleys II, eastern sections
Io. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about IS, great central valleys 20, east
|ern sections ~
This disturbance viii end the excess
lively warm weather of this month west
Of meridian S.. where the February
.thaW. as the farmers and planters call it,
will have prevailed. Cold weather will
continue 10 near March "a / am sorry.
10 make this statement because it means
the destruction of a larger art Of the
prospective fruit crop OF 1917 between
meridian IS and the Rockies. Il also
means greatf damage to winter wheat
and other winter grains, except in
southern locations which the late freez-
ing weather may not reach. The hot
weather will extend to the Gulf Of Mex
leo, but damage BY freezing mas not 20

Another disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about I'll, cross the Pacific
slope By close of 2z, great central val
leys Is to IS, eastern sections rs. Warm
wave will cross the Pacific slope about
III, great central valleys 23, eastern sec
.tions 2s Cool wave viii cross Pacific
slope about "a great central valleys 26,
eastern sections 28.
The warm wave will be moderate, the
low temperature wave preceding it will
be cold and the falling temperatures fol-
lowing win be a cold wave with freez-
ing temperatures in most sections north
of parallel 3e The temperatures, with
some recoveries, will continue to go
down until very cold is reached near
