FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN


l1911, by w. T. Foster. )--Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent May IA to Is, warm wave
18th to II, cool wave 18th to 20th.
Temperatures of the week covered by
this disturbance are expected to aver
age lower than usual with unusually
cool weather accompanying the cool
wave at close of disturbance.
Next storm wave will reach Pacific
coast about May 20, cross Pacific slope
by close of 21st great central valleys
22d to oath, Eastern sections 25th,
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about May 90 great central valleys
22d, Eastern sections oath. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about May %,
great central valleys 25th, Eastern
sections 27th.
This disturbance will probably not
cause dangerous storms. but all other
weather features will be more radical
than in the average storm waves A
most notable feature will be the cool
wave preceding will carry frosts far
ther south than usual Following that
cool wave will come a sudden and
great rise in temperatures and very
hot weather for the season will prevail
while the warm wave is passing. The
cool wave following will again cause
great fall in temperatures with
frosts south of the average seasonal
frost line. About May &c all storm
forces will suddenly become more
tense, storms will increase in force
and some of them will become danger
Gus. That will be the date for earth
Quakes in countries subject to them.
When earthquakes occur storms lose
force One class of earthquakes is of
electrical origin, the same force that
causes thunder and other electrical
storms and tornadoes, and when the
electrical tension is relieved by earth
Quakes the storms become of less
force. Or if great storms occur the
electrical earthquake forces are re-
lieved and the result is less probable
ity of earthquakes.
A great warm wave will come in
last days of May and first days of
June. April proved to be, as predicted,
generally a good crop weather month,
but indications are for less favorable
reports in the northeast quarter of the
farming section of the continent at
the end of May. 1t is a good time to
have plenty of old grain in the bins
and cribs. and those who hold to their
grain will probably not lose anything.
But do not encourage those who wish
to deal in futures. The big spectators
have all their traps well set and baited, |
and unless you can follow them you
will get lost.
Because | expose these manipulators
they are fighting my work. If we could |
have fair deal my weather knowl |
edge would be very valuable to those
who deal in grain futures. The big |
spectators will probably continue
their crooked work till they have
killed the goose that lays the golden |
egg" They will arouse the peoples |
and the government will |
be compelled to sit down on the big |
of farm product prices.
Option Gealers-and they are counted |
by the hundred thousands-would do
better and producers would get better
prices if the big manipuators were
checked. As an average even the big
would do better, for in
a majority of cases they finally 90
busted" The government is moving
in the matter and We may hope that a
fair method Of buying and selling the
cereals may result
Critics will probably not complain
that the earthquakes, tomatoes. hurri-
canes, and other severe weather pre-,
dlcted for first part of May did not
occur. A fair judgment would accord .
q premium to such remarkable fore
casts.
Next bulletin will have something to
say about June crop weather. A large
section Of the grain producing lands .
win have deficiency OF rainfall in |
June Probabilities are that wheat and |
cotton will be the best crops produced |
this year, as an average. but these will |
fail in some sections The potato, hay, |
oats, corn, grass and fax crops will .
probably be short Of the ten-year aver
age on account Of very short crops in |
some sections.
The recent great disturbances were
partly due to the earth passing be.
tween Jupiter and the sun. The heay.
enly bodies are great magnets, a cur
rent of electricity passing between |
them. When a third body passes be-
tween two of these great magnets. the |
electric currents that connect them !
are disturbed
