! Washington, ID. c., March Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturb
lance to cross the continent March 4
to 8, warm wave 3 to 7, cool wave
l6 to t0 This will be about an aver
age disturbance and therefore OF no
|great Importance The interesting
Imatter in connection with this
weather event is the kind Of wealth
Ter it will give to Washington for the
Inauguration.
The indications are favorable to
moderately fair weather for that
event. According to our calcula-
tions, made about middle of Janu-
ary, the cool wave will be due at
Washington on March 4 and there
fore clearing weather may be ex-
pected for the inauguration.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific slope by close Of II, great CEN
trial valleys i2 to IA, eastern sections
lis. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about March 10, great central
valleys IL, eastern sections IA. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
March 13, great central valleys Is,
eastern sections II.
This disturbance does not prom
Use any dangerous storms, but there
|are indications of more than the av-
erage rainfall for March 1913. But
the rainfall of this disturbance will
|probably be in the country from
Galveston, New Orleans, Houston,
San Antonio and Dallas, north to
eastern Kansas. It also promises
rains in the New England States.
Elsewhere probably dry. Large parts
Iof the country are threatened with
Ia March drouth and general thaw.
| Again we hang out danger signals
lfor March f6 to %. We have no
doubt that very destructive storms
Twill occur during that two weeks
|period, but, as we can not now 10
cate them, all should be on the
alert for them. Much property and
some lives might be saved by being
prepared.
Our February temperature fore
casts were certainly good and should
encourage all who desire reliable
weather forecasts. The tempera-
lures of February seemed to follow
} Jour chart lines, made two months
before, as though they were tied to-
gether and could not separate. We
have right to boast of the marked
forecasts of February weather. No
other forecaster has ever dared to
chart his weather forecasts month
|ahead. We propose to make that
feature of our work the greatest
scientific success of the age.
At great expense we have again
gone through the tedious calcula-
tions for rainfall for all sections OF
this continent covering the coming
crop season, and believe our read
ers may rely on the crop weather
forecasts of these bulletins for 1913
At the time of writing this bulletin
February 20, prices of. grain ant
cotton are tending downward. Thi:
was expected because we are now al
the season when producers will de-
liver large quantities of farm pro.
duce. Another influence favorable IL
/ lower prices will be the warm
weather of March and April which
will bring early crop growing
weather. Still another influence fOl
lower prices is the prospect that the
European war will soon be closed
and the Turk eliminated from Eu.
rope. The big business interest:
,, seem to be favoring depression
: and many people in New York Cit,
are out of employment. Another in
, dex to lower prices is that the pub
|, lie entertainments are not being
weel patronized. The people ar,
holding the dollars more firmly an'
). many shows have been forced ou
of business.
These statements are made be
) cause we have heretofore advised
farmers not to sell. The affairs O
7 our country are in excellent condi
) ton and 1913 should be one of ou
most prosperous years. But it all de
pends on the managers of big busi
: mess.
