Washington, Jan. 2I.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent 23 to ~, warm wave u 10
70, cool wave IS to 20. This will bring
rough winter storms, unusually warm
on their front and unusually cold fol-
lowing. They will include high tenn
perature wave, a severe cold wave with
blizzard accompaniments, rains followed
by SHOWS and few days of very cold
weather The very cold weather and
SHOWS, of course, must be assigned to
northern attitudes The fall in temper
ature from near January FL to 20 will be
very great and large part of the Jan
uary precipitation will occur at that
time,
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about 20, cross Pacific
slope by close of 80, great central val
1eys 81 to February ?, eastern sections
g. Warm wave will cross the Pacific
slope about 20, great central valleys 81,
eastern sections February 2. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about February
+, great central valleys 3, eastern sec
tions 5.
This disturbance will bring unusually
severe storms, particularly east of me-
ridian 90. AS the disturbance approaches,
temperatures will go to high degrees, A
cold wave and blizzard and freezing
weather will follow with several days of
unusually cold weather. The cold wealth
er will particularly affect the country
east Of meridian 90.
For January the cold waves were pre-
dicted to affect the country between me-
ridian 90 and the Rockies and the fore
casts were good. expect a reversal for
February. The cold waves will affect the
country between meridian GO and the
Atlantic, while comparatively warm
weather will prevail further west. On
the Pacific slope cooler than usual will
prevail
Another important event comes with
this disturbance Sunspots that win have
relation to our weather may be seen on
February 3. These sunspots may be seen
on the northwest part of the sun Who
ever may watch the storm reports will
observe a great increase in force of the
storms February 2, 8, 4. About noon of
February 3 look at right hand upper
part of the sun and you will probably
see the sunspots that will have some re-
lation to our weather at that time. You
may need an opera glass with a smoked
glass in front of if.
! am expecting an excess of rainfall
for February in the southern states, in
New England and in the eastern prov
inces. Elsewhere the precipitation will
be from about normal to considerably
below Looks unusually warm for Feb
ruary between meridian GO and the
Rockies. February will average much
warmer during the first half than last.
Temperatures will go to the top not far
from February and to the bottom not
far from February 27. Temperature av-
erages east of meridian 90 will be un-
usually low from February IA to March
g. The principal rains will fall during
the two weeks centering on 10 and 22.
The next sunspots after February 8 will
be March 3.
/ / have received reports from several
sections, where farmers desired to hold
their grain, to the effect that bankers
had entered into an agreement not to
loan money to farmers to. enable them
to hold their grain. # this be true
and it really does appear to be true for
some of the states-those bankers will
see that they have made a greivous mis-
take. Bankers, of course, have a right
| to refuse new loans where security is
not ample, but it is a serious thing to
enter into an agreement not to extend
old loans to enable farmers to hold their
grain little longer. Farmers are slow

are organized ard the farmers can not
hold their own without fighting the
devil with fire.
