washington, d. c.. June Last
bulletin gave forecast OF disturbances
ID. cross continent May 81 to June 4,
and June s to 8; warm I've May 80
TO June 8, and June 4 to s; cool wave
Juno 2 to 8 and Z to IL. The period
covered by these two disturbances VIII
be the hottest part of june and where
there is SUFFICIENT moisture viii be the
finest crop weather Of the north.
But in large sections moisture will
be deficient and the hot weather will
not only cause a drought scare but an
actual and damaging drought. ! have
warned all through these bulletins to
not sell cotton or grain. I predicted
much improved crop weather for last
part Of May, that it would tend to
lower prices and advised against sell
ing at the lowered market prices.
The grain SPECTATORS took advan-
tage of the improved crop weather and
pressed prices to lower figures. or
course they did this TO buy at reduced
figures. / still advise farmers and
dealers to get all the cotton and grain
they can and keep them. The manip-
ulatidn of market prices is the curse
OF this country and every producer ana
legitimate dealer should urge 1t on the
congressman to find q way to stop old
money bags from setting the prices on
farm products. My weather work VIII
be much more valuable when supply
and demand are not misrepresented
and are permitted to regulate prices.
Swat the man who m~anipulates the
markets.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 10, cross Pacific slope
by close of June II, great central VAL
leys June IL to IA. eastern sections
June Is. Warm wave will cross Pa
cifc slope about June 10, great central
valleys, June IL, eastern section, June
Ia. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about June 13, great central valleys
June 15, eastern sections June IT.
At the time of this disturbance the
usual trend of temperatures are con
siderable upward but not so for this
June. The trend will be q little down
ward 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 ex-
pected to be the general average OF
this June east of the Rockies but west
of the Rockies the reverse is expect
ed.
Another departure from above state
ment is expected. Where good rains
fall it will be cooler than indicated
and where drought prevails it will be
warmer than indicated, See last bull
letin for June rainfall forecasts.
About and following June / great
weather events are expected. Great
| storms and earthquakes r probable
where these sometimes They
| can not nov be located but readers are
advised to be on the lookout for them.
Watch the news columns for great
events in other countries. / have ex-
pected these great disturbances to COW
err about ten days May 80 to June 8 o.
10.
I expect showers to In many
letin for June / to 16 but not much
rain from June III to July Q. The
month OF June will begin to indicate
where the best crops will be produced
and where the drought will damage
crops. But July and August will de
| ternline the cotton and corn and spring
wheat crops. Serious drought fcl
those two months Ii expected In large
sections.
/ am still OF the opinion that WIS
need not fear d general depression and
breakdown Of financial and other bus
mess affairs. The big spectators car
do what they want to do but In this
time Of unusual unrest mo the
naasaes Of all civilized countries tht
great financial manipulators will GER
tally have d care for their own inter
Gets and safety.
Because Of the universal extension
Of schools and particularly becauae q
