FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, Sept. 14.-(Copyright
ed, 1912, by w. T. Foster.)-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent September is to %,
warm wave 18th to 21st, cool wave
goth to Oath. This disturbance be-
ture wave of the month, and follow.
ing it will begin a rapid movement
downward that will cause an increase
of rainfall and terminate in killing
frosts that will at least reach the
northern border of the cotton belt
during the last days of September.
The previous disturbance will be
on the continent September IA, in
eastern sections 10th and 18th, caus-
ing weather features of greater than
average force and temperatures that
will average considerably above the
normal. The average movement OF
disturbances Is about five days in
crossing from the Pacific to the At
lantic coasts and in estimating the
average temperatures of disturb
ance we. tack five days, including the
two days before and the two days
after the top of the warm wave
reaches your place.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about September 81, cross Pa
cific slope by close of 22d, great CEN
trail valleys 23d to 25th, eastern sec
tions 26th. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about September q,
great central valleys 23d, eastern ser
tons 25th. Cool wave will cross Pa
cific slope about September "a, great
central valleys 25th, eastern sections
2Sth.
Temperatures of this disturbance
will average a little below normal in
mid-latitudes, much below i'll the
north-northwest and above normal in
southern ATTITUDES. The cool wave of
this disturbance will inaugurate the
killing frost waves and some parts OF
the corn belt will get killing frosts
as the cool wave comes in from the
northwest.
Much of the spring wheat, corn and
fax will be so far matured that no
damage from these frosts will result,
but in our northern tier of states and
in Canada the very late crops will be
seriously damaged. The amount of
corn that is very late is variously es-
These bulletins have held
the amount to be much larger than
general crop news indicates.
AS the first killing frosts in the cot
ton belt are expected late in Septem-
ber the top growth OF cotton Will be
generally good, but we believe that
the crop will not be so large as it is
now represented. Many places in the
cotton belt had too much rain prior to
first of June and 40 per cent of a
deficiency for June and July, then too
much rain in August. These unfavor-
able weather conditions will show up
in the cotton picking.
Last disturbance of September Will
reach Pacific coast about 25th, cross
Pacific slope by close of 26th, great
central valleys 9th to 10Th, eastern
sections Goth. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about September 20,
great central valleys 9th, eastern
sections Goth. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about September 2Sth,
great central valleys Goth, eastern
sections October 2.
Rains are expected in many sec
tons during the eastward drift of this
disturbance. General killing frosts
are expected in the corn states and
all spring wheat sections, and frosts
will go far down into the cotton belt,
This disturbance will end the crop
season, except for cotton in southern
parts of the cotton belt. Indications
are favorable to fall pastures, fall
blowing and winter wheat sowing.
Sufficient crops will have been pro-
duced, but this is not the time to sell
grain and cotton. The interests are
putting out the crop news for the
purpose Of putting down the prices.
The war against high prices of living
may temporarily depress prices. but
we should not be deceived.
