FOSTERS WE! 1! BULLETIN

Washington, March 15.-(Copyright
ed, 1913, by w. T. Foster.) last buL
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent March Is to %, warm
wave 18th to 2lst, cool wave goth to
oath. These bulletins have given warn
ing of dangerous storms for the period
of this disturbance and we repeat the
warning. The dangerous storms pre-
dicted for February brought tornadoes.
death and ruin in two Southern States
and the destruction of a million dol
lars worth of property in the Middle
Northwest.
We are now giving closer attention
to dangerous storms and have made
no mistake on them during the past
winter. This wonderful success ad-
monishes all to watch for dangerous
storms March 16 to close of month.
This forecast is not based on the old
idea Of equinoctial storms. There are
times when no equinoctial storms oc-
cur. But the equinoxes are favorable
to severe storms, particularly wien
the moon and planets are in positions
favorable to severe weather.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about March 22, cross Pacific
slope by close of 23d. great Central
valleys oath to Goth, Eastern sections
eth. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about March 22, great Central
valleys oath, Eastern sections Goth.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about March rs, great Central valleys
9th, Eastern sections 29th.
Within few days OF March &c the
weather forces will be at great tensity
and no risks should be taken on
just as commendable to try to save
lives and property from great storms
as ii is to engage in life saving from
the waters, and these bulletins will
continue to warn the people of these
dangerous periods. The position of
the great planet Jupiter warns us that
1913 will be a year OF destructive
storms and as we have found the
causes OF these monsters gerat good
will be accomplished by giving their
dates, although We may not be able
to locate them.
Rain waves will cross continent
March 10 to 20 and Goth to both. They
will probably cause most rain from
the lower Missouri valleys to the Gulf
of Mexico, in Northeastern States and
Eastern provinces. In order to keep
well informed on these forecasts a fils.
OF the bulletins and charts should be
kept.
Rainfall OF April will average much
less than usual east of Rockies and
about normal on Pacific slope. In a
few places the rainfall will be in ex-
cess. About the lower lakes and in
the St Lawrence valleys precipita-
ton will be from about to above nor
NAL, and generally in the highlands
east of Rockies, including the Middle
Northwest, a fair amount of precipita-
ton may be expected. Not much rain
in Southern States and generally dry
near the great rivers. Our Southeast
ern coasts look dry for April
Unusually high temperatures east Of
Rockies and cooler than usual west Of
Rockies are the promises for next
month. April will be unusually favor
able for farm and plantation work.
Good growing crop weather will come
in early in the Northern States and
that month will seem TO promise
splendid crops for the coming season.
Our forecast for the inauguration
at Washington, published in bulletin
Of March ! and written about Feb
ruary Is. proved good. Wagner, Chi
lagos big grain merchant, says In his
February issue: Foster is the great
est weather forecaster." Those live
wire grain dealers know good weather
forecasts when they see them. Warm
March and April will tend to put grain
prices lower.
