FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, April 29.-(Copyright-
ed, 1911, by w T. Foster) Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance 10
cross continent April. p to May 81,
warm wave April 20 to 80, cool wave
April 29 to May 8. This is expected
to be one of the most important dis
turbances of the year. covering pc
riod OF ten days, including April % to
May 6. No very definite forecasts can
be made of that period. These great
disturbances will be of such immense
force that our experience with them
has not yet enabled us to forecast
them in detail and particulars. About
all that can be safely said is to advise
all to be on the lookout for bad and
dangerous weather events.
This great disturbance, broke loose
little earlier than expected and
earthquakes occurred in Italy on April
10 and disastrous storms at st. Louis
and further west on April u and 10.
These premature storms and earth
quakes may relieve the tension and
lessen the force of those expected
April q to May 6.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about May 2, cross Pacific slope
by close of Sd, great central valleys
4th to 9th, Eastern sections 18th.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about May 2, great central valleys 4th,
Eastern sections 9Th. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about May 5, great
central valleys 18th, Eastern sections
9th.
This disturbance will include a pc
riod of notable weather events. The
storm forces will be so strong that it
will be beyond any art to give definite
advice as to the places where and the
hours when they will strike. 1t is not
a pleasure, but | feel it to be a duty
to warn all that destructive storms
are more than probable as this dis
turbance crosses the continent. If my
forecasts extended to countries where
are somewhat frequent l
would urge all to be on the lookout
for such during the dates assigned to
this storm period. Temperatures for
this storm period are expected to av-
erage above normal, but its closing
hours will bring a great drop in the
Third disturbance of May will reach
Pacific coast about Sth, cross Pacific

SUGGESTIONS To FARMERS
President ExaI Of Texas Industrial
Congress Tells How to Gull
tivate Crops.

We suggest that you do not have
your crop too thick. One good stalk
of corn or cotton will produce more
than two poor stalks. When your corn
Is fifteen inches high the small hair
like roots will almost meet between
the rows. You should therefore cult.
vate as nearly level as possible. If
you go deeper than two inches you
will cut thousands of these roots and
greatly damage your crop. Use a
sweep or a very short toothed har
row that Is narrow enough to go well
between the rows. Pull up all weak
plants, and destroy all suckers and
weeds. These parasites suck the life
blood from the plant, just as vermin
do from livestock.
Plants like animals must have bal
anced ration with an abundance of
nutritious food, if you expect the best
results. The larger the plant, the more
food it will need to assist 1t in its
life work of producing and perfecting
its crop. It is a very great mistake
to lay by and leave the crop when
it is one-half or two-thirds grown, and
allow 1t to live on short rations, fight
dry weather, suckers and weeds at
the most vital period in its career.
To get the best and most profitable
results, shallow mulch cultivation
should continue until the grain and
cotton are fully matured. If 1t is pos
sible to do so well.rotted manure, cot
tonseed meal or any other good fertil-
izers that are easily soluble should be
spread between the rows of corn and
cotton, and worked into the soft top
mulch a short time before the crop
begins to fruit. A cottonseed planter
with fertilizer attachment set to run
very shallow does this work fairly
well, or you can do it by hand.
If you can not apply these fertilizers
you certainly can destroy the suckers,
weeds and weak plants, and by con-
slant shallow mulch cultivation keep
the earth from cracking and thereby
conserve the moisture, warding off to
a great extent the damaging effects of
hot winds and a dry season. The
dryer it is, the more unpromising
things seem to be, the greater neces-
sity for constant work. Keep the
weeds down, suckers out, the top of
the earth soft, and you will raise
crop any way.
Guard against damage to land from
washing by terracing and contour
blowing, going around rather than up
and down a slope.

President Texas Industrial Congress.

Science Notes,

The National Academy of Sciences
held its annual session in Washington,
April 1921. The most interesting event
was lecture delivered by Sir John
Murray, of Scotland. For several
years he has been the director of the
ship Challenger investigating condi-
tons in the ocean depths. His re-
searches have revealed the immensely
of animal and vegetable life from it's
surface to its vast depressions, some
OF which are nearly six miles in depth.
He showed that the great permanent
high barometers, where the atmos-
pheric movements are circular, down.
ward and cool, are over the deep
parts of the oceans, and that the ac-
cumulations of matter in these great
depressions-the filing up of these
great holes-is exceedingly SLOW
He differed with the national wealth
er bureau theories and claimed that
the circular motion of waters in the
five great oceans is caused by the at
mospheric calculations, while the
weather bureau officials claim that it
is the circular movements of the great
ocean waters that cause the atmos-
pheric circular motions of the per-
manent highs over the oceans.

KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE

The silver lining of your clouds may
be bit furnished, but laughter will
polish them up. ~xMSP
<.
When you get that grouchy feeling.
stop and think how glad you are that
you live in Bryan.
The sunny side is made by the sun
shine OF joy, which is laughter.
A kind word and a merry laugh
float into the souls of men like sun
beams and bring light into the shad-
ows.
A sure remedy to use when you
take a hand in another's business is
broth, hot water drinks and a mush
poultice, eaten off the mantelpiece.
When the calf gets in the garden, and
the COW eats up the corn:
When you stay in the field till one
o'clock, not nearing the dinner
horn,
Don't fuss and cuss and worry. but
be happy all the while;
Wipe the sweat from off your fore
head and smile a six-inch smile.
When Beck kicks out of the traces and
rakes you on the shin,
And it's just about the time of year
when the boil weevils begin,
Don't fuss and fume and worry in
pessimistic style;
Just sit right down and rest awhile.
and smile that six-inch smile.
It's easy to be happy and smile in
stead Of frown;
You can be the jolliest guy of all
within this jolly town.
So dof the cloak of sorrow, don the
robe of joy awhile;
Shake hands with everyone you meet.
and smile that six-inch smile,
