FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, May 2'-(Copyrlghted
1911, by w. T. Foster Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent May q to 25, warm wave
18th to oath, cool wave 23d to 9th
This disturbance will be preceded and
followed by unusually cool weather
and between the two cool waves un-
usually warm weather will prevail
Not much rain. The last cool wave will
bring some rain near latitude SO and
in the plains states and provinces
north OF SO.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about May 90, cross Pacific slope
about 9th, great central valleys 2Sth
to Goth, Eastern sections 31st. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about
May 26, great central valleys 2Sth,
Eastern sections Goth. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about May 80,
great central valleys 31st, Eastern
sections June 2.
This will be a moderate disturbance,
but temperatures will go to extremes.
Rainfall will be about same as for last
above described disturbance. Next
bulletin will give details of general
weather changes for June. Below l
give crop weather forecast for June,
which will largely determine the
crops of 1911. Temperatures of June
will average unusually high east of
Rockies and lower than usual west of
the Rocky ridge, except that near the
coast of the Gulf of Mexico and within
200 miles of Washington, D. c., will
be cooler than usual
Rainfall Of June will be of immense
Importance. A great and general
drouth will prevail east of Rockies.
The exceptions will be Cuba and
southern Florida, southern Texas,
southwestern Louisiana, parts Of
Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina,
spots in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and
Illinois.
This drouth will be general, while
the exceptions will be only small sec
tons. The worst part of the drouth
will cover northeastern Texas, Okla
homa, Arkansas, eastern Missouri,
southeastern Iowa and then a broad
belt northeastward, including all the
Northern states from the Dakotas
eastward and all the provinces from
Manitoba eastward. ! am in doubt
about the Western provinces west of
Manitoba and the states west of the
Dakotas. From Des Moines north and
west in the states the drouth will be
severe east OF Rockies.
This great drouth may begin a little
earlier or a little later than indicated,
and it may continue well up into July,
but large sections will get good rains
some time in July. BY proper cultiva.
ton farmers can pull their crops
through the June drouth, and where
the heavy rains of July strike they
will be able to make a good showing
up to the last of July.
have no interest in grain nor in
any kind of crops and this forecast
is published with no prospect of being
in any way beneficial to the writer.
thoroughly believe that the forecast
will prove, in general way, correct.
] believe that some of the crops this
year, particularly oats, corn, hay, and
fax will make short crops in many
parts of the Northern states and in
some parts of the South.
That is the reason that ! have ad-
vised farmers not to sell their prod
ucts and for the same reason l have
censured the big spectators for put
ting down the prices Of farm products.
Those big spectators have bought up
immense amounts of those products
and will make millions out of the ma
while the farmers who
sold and the consumers who must buy
will be the losers. Those big specula.
