Washington, May 25.-Last bulle-
tin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent May 26 to 80,
warm wave 25 to 90, cool wave % to
June 1. Cool weather will prevail
and in some sections excessive rain.
This period will include the organi
cation of a great sunspot group and
will also include electric storms,
probably on this continet, but l. will
not venture to locate them.
Following the period described
above, great change will come
over our weather conditions. The
weather scheme will be reversed in
large part of the country. For a
time the crop-weather will greatly
improve and prospects of much bet
ter crops than conditions have in
dicated will have much force, tend
ing to lower prices. But do not be
deceived. Some parts of the country
will produce good crops but in large
sections the crops will be seriously
damaged by drouth. For that reason
| have advised those holding old
grain, cotton and feed stuff not to
be in a hurry to sell.
Next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about May 80, cross
Pacific slope by close of 81, great
central valleys June 4 to 3, eastern
sections 4. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about May 80, great
central valleys June 1, eastern sec.
| tions June 8. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about June 2, great
central valleys 4, eastern sections 6
| This disturbance, following
long priced of low temperatures
will bring wave Of great high tenn
peratures and generally much less
rain than has been usual the lasl
three months. But where dry wealth
er has prevailed the probabilities
| favor an increase n rainfall.
| The first half of June will prob
ably bring the best crop weather OF
hte season up to that time, and 9
greater amount of farm work will
be accomplished than for any other
two weeks of this year that have
passed.
Another sunspot group will be or
ganiZed about June on the oppo
site side of the sun and will come
into sight not far from June 20. Blu
our earth will feel the effects Of tht
disturbance not far from June ant
dangerous storms are expected neal
that date. Not now able to locat
these storms except that they will
be on this continent.
The storm wave that will connec
with this sunspot group will reacl

Pacific slope about June 5, grea
central valleys 6 to 8, eastern sec

about June !, great central valley
9. eastern sections ii. This disturb
ance will continue the hot weathe

!. showers will be more frequent
Good crop weather will prevail Il
:. about half the grain sections.
The month of June is expected t
average warmer than usual north
east of a line drawn from Winnipe

Y of the Rockies. About normal TEN
0 peratures will prevail west of tn
