Temperatures of this disturbance

bring he most dangerous storms Of
the month, and although we are not
expecting such great cataslrOphrs
as occurred earlier in the year. We
advise that no risks be taken. It is
not difficult to find places Of safely
during a storm and We can gener-
ally arrange our affairs 50 as to
avoid dangerous places. Sept. Il 10
20 Will bring the cqlinoctlal storms
this year and to warn people WI
danger periods is part Of our duty.
Locating these dangerous storms
is nOt an easy matter. The best we
can do is Id locate them 500 tO 800
miles southeast Of the center Of Ialo
lows. We give the dates on which
the Warnf waves are 10 cross the
continent and these dates will not
be far wrong. Watch The progress
Of the warm waves as the dangerous
storms occur ii them The warm
dawes and The dangerous storms
form southeast Of the lows.
Excessive heat, particularly that
kind Of heat that saps the energies,
causes singing sensations and tho
breaking out Of heat cruptiOns is 4
warning Of the approach of danger
Gus storms. Sept. 12 to lS our danger
signals will hang out, and we hope
they will save much suffering and
destruction Of property.
We have been expecting showers
not far from Sept. 8, IL and %, but
not sufficient for late or top cotton.
We have repeatedly advised friends
Of our work to hold their cotton and
buy more and we still advise them
not to sell their cotton Immediately.
Fosters Weather Bureau has saved
to producers and dealers millions Of
dollars, particularly by advising
when not to sell grain and cotton.
Such advice is equally valuable to
consumers and dealers. Mani puation
OF he markets is injurious to pro
ducers, common dealers and consul
mers and only the millionaire spec
lllatOrs are benefited. If YOU do not
find everything you need in the way
Of advice III the bulletins. write to|
Fosters Weather Bureau, Washing
ton. y. G.. and we will Try TO amend
our advices.
No one denies that the moon isl
the principal cause Of the tides and
their locations. Just as surely the
moon locates our rains and SHOWS.
This feature Of our weather fore
cast system is not yet fully worked
out, but in general Way the indi-
cations arc that September Will
bring heavier than usual rains from
the Gulf Of California to New Mex
leo along our southwestern borders
With moderate rains Oh New Eng
land coasts and dry elsewhere onI
this continent and South America
For October the principal rains will
be east Of the Andes i'll South Amer /
lea. November will bring principal |
rains to our southeastern states |
and to northern South America west
Of the Andes. November is a nrin- |
cipal crop month III South America !
and they will get drouth. The crop
season will soon begin operations IN
South America and we propose to |
give some attention to South Amer
lean crop weather because thei"
crops affect our markets.
