FIRST half of November promises
colder than usual and the last half
warmer than usual. Very warm
weather is indicated from Nov 90 to
Dec. 3. That warm spell will tend to

An unusual amount of rainfall IS

Believing that market prices. OF
grain and cotton would go down W.,
early in September, advised friends
of our weather work to get out OF
the markets by Sept. 25. At time OF
writing this bulletin all market
prices of grain and cotton are much
below the prices on Sept. 25. We st
advise to stay out of the markets.
The time is probably not far away
when it will pay dealers to invest.
The most valuable result of long
range crop weather forecasts is IN
preparing for times of scarcity, and
in estimating future values of farm
products.
The Congress can stop the unfair
manipulations of market values and
it should do so, but it can not pre-
vent a farmer from contracting to
deliver grain or cotton at a fixed
price at some future time.
I It is surely to the interest of the
farmer and the legitimate dealer

values. A big speculator by throw

or grain markets can depress or
elevate prices and that should be

news about foreign. particularly OF
