bulletin gave forecast Oh nlStulp
ance to cross the continent August
q to rs, warm wave 20 to "a, cool
wave % to 81. Moderate tempera-
lures are expected to prevail during
this disturbance. Not much ram
where it has been dry the past thlr-
ty days. cannot promise breaking
up of the drouth that now continues
in some sections.
The drouth, not general but in
some sections, was predicted and
located six months ago. 1t will be
remembered that these bulletins To-
Gated the best crop weather in vi
entities of the great lakes. That
forecast has proven remarkably
correct. For balance of the country
drouth was predicted covering
large sections. That drOuth was
predicted to begin and damage oats
last half of June but it began two
or three weeks later and therefore
the oats crop was better than pre-
dicted.
Nine months ago | predicted that
winter wheat would be seriously
damaged by winter weather. This
proved correct and large acreage
was ploughed up and sown ir oats.
Spring weather greatly improved
To- ht,f hn
be as large as now supposed be-
cause, in the estimates, the acreage
ploughed up has net been deducted.
The predicted drouth is seriously
injuring corn at date of this writing
Aug. g., but the big spectators
will not permit that news to be pub
lished. Oats prices are very low and
all grain and cotton are low enough.
I therefore advise not to sell now,
believing you will get better prices
by waiting.
These bulletins can not tell you
about the fluctuations in grain and
cotton prices because the big spec
ulators can and do run prices above
and below normal as much as five
cents or over range of ten cents.
They do this with their big money.
But these bulletins have. been sue
cesSful in telling producers when
not to sell and in telling dealers
when to buy for long pull. | can
not hit the high and low points of
the markets, but if you will buy and
sell as indicated in these bulletins
and then hold till the fluctuations
are over, you will come out ahead.
For three years | have proven this
statement to be correct.
Next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about August "a, cross
Pacific slope by close of rs, great
central valleys Is to q, eastern sec
tons about August %. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about Au-
gust "a, great central valleys 26,
eastern sections %. Cool wave will
cross Pacific slope about August q,
great central valleys 90, and east
ern sections 81.
This disturbance will inaugurate
thunder storms and in some places
hail storms. All weather features
will increase in force an dviolence
but the general average of rainfall
will not increase and the sectional
drouths will continue. Tempera-
lures will average about normal of
the season and will not be very high
OF very low. A great fall in temper
atures is expected during the week
centering on August 10 and frOsts
in northern ATTITUDES may be ex-
pected
The flying machines are finding
holes in the air and they are sur
prised at these holes which are
so many deaths among avia-
tors. Long ago these bulletins sug-
9e5ted that some inventor find a
method of detecting large bodies of
static electricity in the atmosphere.
f we could detect these bodies of
in the atmosphere it
would aid us in predicting changes =,
If weather.
These bodies of static electricity
IRE caused by planetary influences
through electri-magetnism and are
he causes of the peculiar actions of
birds and animals, of geese and hogs
md the human rheumatic pains be-
ore the coming of radical weather
Ranges.
These holes in the air have a base
n the earth and reach upward to
Joint they exclude the atmosphere.
n them we feel depressed for want
f pure air and that condition af-
ects all animal life. A machine that
viii detect these static, negative.
1ectric bodies will be valuable.
