Washington, June Last bulIp-
tin gave forecasts of disturbances
to cross the continent May 81 to
June /. and June 5 to 2. warm waves
80 to June 3. and June 4 to 8, cool
waves June to and 7 to IL. The
period covered by these two dis
turbanCes will be the hottest part of
June and where there is sufficient
moisture will be the finest crop
weather Of the month.
But in large sections moisture will
be deficient and the hot weather
will not only cause a drOuth scare
but an actual and damaging drouth.
| have warned all through theso
bulletins to not sell cotton or grain.
predicted much improved crop
weather for last part Of May. and
! that it would tend to lower prices.
and advised against selling at the
, lowered market prices.
The great spectators took advan-
tage of the improved crop weather
and pressed prices to lower figures.
| Of course they did this to buy at
reduced figures. still advise farm
ers and dealers to get all the cotton
and grain they can and keep them.
The manipulation Of market prices
is the course of this country. and
every producer and legitimate deal
er should urge it on the congress
men to find way to stop old
money bags from setting the prices
on farm products. My weather
work will be more valuable when
supply and demand are not misrep-
resented and are permitted to reg
ulate prices. Swat the men who
| manipulate the markets.
Next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about June TO- cross
the Pacific slope by close Of II, the
great central valleys II to ~. east
ern sections IS. Warm wave will
cross the Pacific slope about June
10. great central valleys IL, eastern
sections II. Cool wave will cross the
Pacific slope about June i3. great
central valleys Is. eastern sections
II. At the time Of this disturbance
! the usual trend of temperatures are
considerable upward, but not so for
this Jgne. The trend will be a lit
tie downward making the first third
of the month warmer than usual,
the middle third about normal and
the last third below normal. This.
of course, is expected to be the gen
eral average Of this June east of the
Rockies. but west of the Rockies the
reverse is expected.
Another departure from above
statement is expected. Where good
rains fall it. will be cooler than in
dicated. and where drouth prevails
it will be warmer than indicated.
See last bulletin for June rainfall
forecasts.
About and following June 1 great
weather events are expected. Great
storms and earthquakes are not inn
probable where these sometimes oc-
cur. They can not now be located
but readers are advised to be on the
lookout for them. Watch the news
columns for great events in other
countries. | have expected these
great disturbances to cover about
ten days, May 80 to June or 10.
| expect showers to occur in
many places from June / TO i6. but
moi much rain from June II TO July
3 The month of June will begin to
indicate where the best crops will
be produced and where the drouth
will damage crops. But July and Au-
gust will determine the cotton and
corn and spring wheat crops. Sc
rious drouth for those two months
is expected in large sections.
| am still of opinion that we need
not fear a general depression and
breakdown in financial and other
business affairs. The big speculat- !
ors can do what they want to do, !
but in this time of unusual unrest
among the masses of all civilized |
countries the great financial man
ipulators will certainly have a care |
for their own interests and safety. |
Because of the universal extern
sion of schools, and particularly be-
cause of the greatly increased cir
culation of good newspapers, intel |
ligence and knowledge among the |
common people and middle classes
Is more universal than ever before
