FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN


Washington, Aug. -(Copyrlght-
ed, 1913, by w. T. Foster.) last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent August 20 to Septem-
Der 2, warm wave August 2S to Sep
TENDER 1, colo wave August 81 to
September A. This disturbance will
average warmer than usual and rain
fall will be less than usual, but few
showers will occur with heavy rains
in few places.
The most important weather fea-
|ture of September Will be its rainfall.
which is expected to be less than
usual The September rains are i'm.
portant on account of sowing winter
grain, and as better rains are expect
ed in October it is advisable to SOW
late where 1t is too dry for sprouting
the grain. But where the soil is suf-
ficiently moist it will be best to SOW
early, particularly in Northern States,
in order that a good growth may give
protection to the roots OF the grain
during November which Is expected
to be colder and more stormy than
usual.
or the three principal storm waves
|of September we give particular
warning for September IL to IS. That
will be the most dangerous part OF
the month, and no risk should be
taken. The equinoctial storms this
year will occur not far from Septem-
Der Is and 2S, but the first period will
be unusually severe,
The dry weather of September will
extend into the cotton States and
cause considerable loss to top growths
of cotton. AS to the 1914 winter
grain crops we can make no estimate
before first of November, 1913, but
estimate of the 1915 wheat crop early
in the year 1914.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about September 3, cross Pa
cific slope by close of 4th. great Cen
trail Valleys 9Th to 18th, Eastern sec
tons Sth. Warm wave will cross Pa
cific slope about September 3, great
Central Valleys 5th, Eastern sections
7th. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about September 6, great Cen
trail Valleys Sth, Eastern sections
10th.
Very warm during this period and
the storm forces. though not great,
will have greater than usual tensity.
Not much rain generally but a few
local thunder showers and some prob
ability of few hailstorms.
Third storm wave of September
will reach Pacific coast about 9th,
cross Pacific slope by close of 10th,
great Central Valleys 1tlh to 18th.
Eastern sections 14th. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about Sep
TENDER 9th, great Central Valleys
18th, Eastern sections 18th. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
II, great Central Valleys
14th, Eastern sections 18th.
While this disturbance will average
warmer than usual, it will not be as
warm as the preceding storm wave.
Showers will increase. Force OF the
storms will be less till about Septem-
Der 10, when they will begin to in
crease preparatory for the great
storm period of September II to IS.
On September II you should begin to
think about hunting places of safety.
Orthodox scientists who are per-
sistent critics of planetary meteor
ology should go back in weather his
tory and investigate conditions dur
ing the years when Jupiter occupied
positions similar to this year, and
they will surely find great weather
events. Jupiter's cycle is 11.S4 years
and in it's first cycle you will find the
great drouth and destruction in the
corn ORION of tho vpar 1901 Hunt I'D
other weather events near those II
year cycles of the great planet Jupiter
and you will learn something of value.
