Washington. -. g.. Dee. 1.-Last
| bulletin gave forecasts Of disturb
ancr to cross the continent Ilerem-
! Der 3 to II. warm wave ! to II. coo!
wave 10 to II. Warmer than usual
not much precipitation and gener-
ally moderate weather describes the
! disturbance.
The warm weather first half Of
December will tend to lower prices
of grain, but holders should no: be
discouraged. Sell no grain or cotton
in December. The big spectators
have set the trap and producers are
Expected to run over each other in
trying to get to market. Let the
spectators trade with each other at
the big markets where they have
fallen into the habit Of making the
prices. After those big fellows get
all they can buy at the low prices
they will want the prices TO 60 VI,
No one can fOresee general war
in Europe and what such war
would do to prices can only b"
'guessed at. but the general feeling
has been that Europe can not afford
to go into general war.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
Iclfic coast about Dec. II, cross Pa
cifir slope by close Of 10, great cen
trail valley ii to i6, eastern sections
Il. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about Dec. ~. great central
valleys H. eastern sections is. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
nec. Is, great central valleys II. Inc
. eastern sections 10.
West of meridian 90 the intersi-
ties of the weather features accom-
panying this disturbance will be
moderate, but as the storm center
hears eastern sections the forces
will increase and severe weather
may be expected in large sections
near the Atlantic coasts. A the
same time another storm center will
make severe weather on the Pacific
coast. e.
/ We can not now determine which
of three cool waves will be the most
severe cold wave. One of them will
be due TO cross the continent Dec
10 to IA, the second Is to 49,, and the
third 20 to "a. The peculiar condi-
ton of planetary forces throws
some doubt on this matter. and al
though we have expected the great
fall i'll temperature to come with
the third cool wave we now suggest
that you be prepared for each of the
three. The fall of temperatures will
be great and as it will be sudden
change from very warm to very
cold it will pay to be prepared.
Fourth disturbance of December
will reach Pacific coast about II,
cross Pacific slope by close of i9.
great central valleys I9 to q, east
ern sections % Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about Dec. H.,
great central valleys 10, EASTERN sec
tons q. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about 20. great central valleys
q, eastern sections n.
This will cause severe winter
storms and severe weather from the
Pacific slope to eastern sections and
will be followed by unusually cold
weather. NOL as much SNOW in
northern sections and less than
usual rain in south than might be
expected with a great winter storm.
Last part Of December is expected
to average colder than usual and
not much precipitation.
We are preparing to place our
crop weather forecasts for 1913 be
fore the worlds greatest scientists,
and we propose to convince them
against their wills that the causes
of our weather changes are known
and that we now have the best sys-
tenn of fOrecasting ever devised. We
can not get our latest improvements
into the forecast work before Jan
uary.
