FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, July 15.-(Copyrighted
1911 LAST bulletin gave forecasts OF
disturbance to cross continent July 16
to 20, warm wave 18th to 18Th, cool
wave 18th to 22d. During the passage
of this disturbance showers are ex-
pected to be more frequent and more
general than for some time past. TEN.
peratures will go up rapidly, but will
not remain high very long. Storm
forces will increase and nearly July 20
small spots are expected on central
parts of the sun. This disturbance
will include the most stormy part of
the month and these storms will give
relief to many drouth and heat sec
tions where the last preceding cool
wave shall have failed to bring show
ers.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about July %, cross Pacific slope
by close of 24th, great central valleys
25th TO 9th, Eastern sections 2Sth.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about July 30. great central valleys
18th, Eastern sections 9th. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about July 26,
great central valleys 2Sth, Eastern sec
tons Both.
This disturbance will inaugurate an
other hot and dry period, another dead
calm, another sweltering heat period.
But not so bad as we have passed
through, and, having become used to
the intense neat of the summer, per-
haps we shall not suffer much.
If general showers come to the grain
sections about middle of July grain
prices will probably slide downward,
producers will get a scare and grain,
particularly corn, will be rushed to
market. Don't do it. Farmers act very
foolish when they rush corn to mar
ket before they know the results OF
August crop weather. An old saying
was: There is luck in leisure"
If farmers get uneasy and want to
let go of their old corn local cash
dealers should take it in and keep it,.
Don't ship 1t to the central markets;
they will be more anxious for it
later on.
e. w. Wagner & Co., one Of the
most extensive grain agencies in Chi
cago, in a recent letter to Fosters
weather bureau says: eve must con-
graduate you on your magnificent
weather forecasts. Your May-June
weather forecasts have been absolute
ly correct. Many of the visitors to our
office are remarking on this wonderful
precedence on your part"
Last bulletin discussed the value of
grain options to the millers. Take an
ath N Gry1a
who contract to deliver million bush
els in Europe on an agreed price. Such
contracts may bring a profit or loss of
100000, and there is no method OF
insurance that will cover the rise in
prices except options. When the firm
sells for future delivery to Europe
they buy the asme amount at option
and then, no matter which way grain
prices go, the contractors know just
what their profits will be. Foolishness
to talk about abolishing the boards Of
trade. They would be useful institu-
tions if the millionaire manipulation.
who is the real tiger-cat of the grain
business, could be put out. Go after
him and thereby purify the boards of
trade and then they will be useful
They are now cat's-paws of the big
while the farmers and
small option speculatorsa re the losers.
Milers, agencies and contractors are
not to be classed as spectators.
Next bulletin will give general fore
casts of August crop weather, and no
more important forecast than that will
be has gone out from Fosters weather
bureau. That bulletin will speak out
in plain, positive language about the
effects of August crop weather.
