Washington, D. c., June 29.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturb,
ance to cross the continent July to
., warm wave June 80 to July 1. cool
wave July 3 to !. For that week
about normal temperatures, with an
upward tendency, are expected and
not much rain anywhere on the con.
tinent.
Indications are that heavy rains
will fall in Cuba and parts of Mex
leo. When the rains concentrate
along those southern latitudes a de-
flclency of moisture occurs in more
northern latitudes | have good re-
cords for Key West and they indi-
cate more than usual rain for that
section during July. East of the
Rockies the indications are that
rainfall for July will be deficient in
tWo-thlrds of the sections.
Ii | am correct in this calcula-
ton we, may expet higher prices for
all agricultural products. | am still
of opinion there will~be no financial
depression. | expect the business
conditions to improve and if it does
that will also tend to increase the
prices Of agricultural products.
| am greatly interested in this
question. If supply and demand are
permitted to control prices my
weather forecasts will soon be i'm
mensely valuable. But the manipu-
lation of prices by millionaire spec
ulators and the depressions in bust
ness, brought On by the money kings
OF Europe and America, give my
weather work but little chance to
be appreciated.
The volume of future agrieultu
raj products should have great
weight in determining prosperity.
These bulletins will -sin-~s-eeneral
way, indicate the volume of 1913 ag-
ricultural products and this will be
immensely valuable to the general
public if the money gang keep their
feet out of the trough. But if they
are still permitted to manipulate
them the best forecasts possible can
not be so valuable.
Next disturbancewiI reach the Pa
ciflc coast about July 5, cross the
Pacific slope by close of 6. great
central valleys 7 to 9, eastern sec
lions 10, warm wave will cross the
Pacific slope about July 5, great
central valleys 7, eastern sections
J. Cool wave will cross Pa ific
slope about. July s, great central
valleys 10, eastern sections IL. - 4
This disturbance will bring the
hottest period of 1912 particularly
q the great central valleys. The
ifeadful hot winds that sometimes.
iestroy the crops in parts of the
treat central valleys are expected
Q make call during the passage
i this disturbance. This peculiar
weather. feature made it's appear
nee IN the southwest and also west
# the Rockies first week in June. |
During this July disturbance it is
to locate farther northeast
ward. '
Ny July monthly charts predict |
evere weather from about July 5
Q IA. This will be manifest in var
ous ways. Some sections will have
excessively hot and dry, others will
erhaps get tornadoes, further south /
ne dreadful hurricane will make
all and far to northeast cool wave
DING almost to frost line is ex-
ected. SOn north Pacific coast it
i'll be too cool for comfort while
n Atlantic coast we will be suffer-
lg with extreme heat.
My calculations show four high
waves for the summer
follows: June to 5, July 6 to Is,
ugust | to is, September IA to 81.
cry low temperatures are marked
,r near June % to 26, July 10 toI
!, August II to 81 and septmber 25
30. This last period will bring
we're northern frosts. ~
