a
letin gave forecasts Of disturbance to
cross continent June 20 to 20. warm
wave oath to 2Sth, cool wave June 81
to July /. One interesting feature of
this will be the very cool weather dur
ing that week; another will be lack
OF rain in large parts of the country,
Much uneasiness may be expected
about that time because of deteriora-
ton in condition of the crops, but
most damage is to be feared during
July and August.
A great hot wave is expected toI
cross continent between July / and 10
During that two weeks 1t will be gen.
orally hot and dry in large sections of
the country and crop damage will bel
greater than usual. Symptoms Of this
drouth appeared in the Southwest in
May and June, and are expected tot
drift eastward in July. Excessively hot
is expected in parts of the great GEN.
trail valleys, in parts of New England
and New York, farther south in the
Atlantic states, in large sections Of
the interior cotton states and in the
gulf coast sections.
The most destructive drouth is ex.
pected in August; not general, but in
such large sections that am advising
friends of my weather work to sell no
grain or cotton. 1t is not popular TO
make such forecasts, but 1t Is best to
know what is coming and prepare for
it, ] have nothing invested in grain
or cotton. These calculations are
based on weather records covering
about eighty years and simple arith-
metical calculations. am not be-
lever in weather forecasts not based
on the records Hicks makes some fair
forecasts, but as he does not use
weather records of the past he seldom
tries to locate weather events.
These bulletins are the only long
range forecasts that definitely locate
weather events, and are the only fore
casts based on weather records. The
people should demand of all fore
casters that thy say where the wealth
J er events forecasted are expected to
occur. Forecasts that do not apply to
sections are useless.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 80. cross Pacific slope
by close of July /, great central val.
leys July 2 and 4. eastern sections
r. 5th. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about June 80, great central val
leys July 2, eastern sections July 4.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about July 8, great central valleys 5th,
c eastern sections Tth.
!. For that week dry weather will pre-
4 wall while the temperatures, as a gen.
n eral average, will be climbing higher.
n This will be a severe ordeal for grow
G ing crops and fortunate will be those
n localities that get good showers during
o that week.
!. First week in July will bring excel
G lent weather for harvesting winter
g wheat and for threshing in the field.
n This good weather should be utilized
in those sections included between lat.
!. itudes So and as. Following July 10
a will not be such splendid harvesting
4 weather in those mid-latitude sections.
II AS ! have finally secured the data

q probably not make any more sun spot
q forecasts till through with the investi-
A cation. AS many orthodox scientists
believe that sun spots cause our
g weather changes, ] expect to demon

v they are correct in saying that sun

d il am correct in saying that sun spots
o can be foretold, there will be great
G possibility of perfecting system oil
forecasting our weather by using rec
@ ords of sun spots which we now have
+ from 1749 to date.
