Washington, March 4.-(Copyright-
ed, 1911, by w. I. Foster.)-Lsst bul-
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent March . TO 8, warm
wave 4th to Sth, cool wave 18th to 18th.
This disturbance will continue the
sold, stormy weather that began near
the Washington holiday and which
will continue cold and stormy till after
the cold wave due on meridian 30
March 10 shall have passed. The sun
spot period will continue to March 10.
Venus, Mars, Mercury and %Juipeter
are all in magnetic contact with the
earth and the moon, acting as a 60
between, aiding in forming the cleo
trio equilibrium between earth and
planets. The sunspots do not cause
our weather changes, but are caused
by the same kind ofmagnetic disturb
ances that bring our earth storms.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about March 10, cross Pacific
slope by close of 18th, great central
valleys 18th TO 14th, Eastern sections
18th. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about March 10, great central
valleys 18th, Eastern sections 14th.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about March 10, great central valleys
18th, Eastern sections 18th.
This disturbance will pull US out Of
a weather condition dominated by
cold winter storms and bring TO US
that condition which is more favor
able TO the growth Of vegetation and
more agreeable to man and beast. A
great rise in temperatures will occur.
The storms will be of greater force,
but rains will not be heavy till a little
later.
Indications are that rains Of March
will be excessively heavy from the
New England states to Kansas and
Nebraska along and $50 miles north
and south of latitude SO. This condi-
ton shows up exceedingly strong on
my weather map for March, and | am
expecting excessive rains resulting in
floods in the section Of country men
toned, which is about 1900 miles east
and west and 500 miles north and
south. covering three-iourths Of a mill
ion square miles. The probable loca-
ton Of these excessive rains seems
to be such as will cause floods in the
Ohio, upper Mississippi and the Mis-
SOuAA AlNtAH AAA ms AAt NSA hIs : WI
on March 16.
No one can be much harmed by pre-
pairing for these excessive rains and
probabilities are that much may be
saved from damage by the prepara-
ton. All around this great section OF
excessive rains dry weather is eX-
pected and the results to the pros
pective crops may easily be estimated.
In the rainy section winter wheat will
get too much moisture and the wet
weather will make it unfavorable for
farmers to deliver grain TO market.
particularly south of latitude 40,
muddy roads will be the rule.
The dry weather of March in the
Southern states will be favorable to
planting. but will leave the soil too
dry. Dry March weather in Canada
will not hurt. In that section much
depends on the amount Of moisture in
the soil when frozen in early winter.
the freeze goes out Of the ground
it must furnish the moisture for early
plant life. March will be too
dry for best results in Cuba.

ries of the causes of epidemic dis
eases among the lower animals and
so seriously affect the human
race. For this announcement | will
be, by some wise heads, dubbed a
crank. But watch the results. | an
