Washington. D. c., June Last bull
letin gave forecasts Of disturbance to
cross continen: June a to 8, warm wave
to z. cool wave to 10. From near
meridian 80 eastward this disturbance
will cause severe weather with prob
ability Of heavy rains at some points on
the gulf coasts. Unusually hot weather
will prevail southeast of the low. or
storm center, as it crosses continent.
Dangerous storms are expected in great
central valleys during the five days CEN
tering on June z. Some showers In
western sections during the five days
centering on June 81 and in eastern
sections centering on June z.
While some sections will get good
showers first half of June others Of
large extent will have deficiency Of
rain. This may not damage wheat and
corn to any great extent but where the
drouth strikes oats first part Of June
it will be a serious matter for that
crop. We are of opinion that farmers
should not sell grain at this time. They
should, at least, keep enough oats and
wheat to supply any deficiency that
may occur. We are of opinion that
grain will not go permanently lower in
the markets this year and that nothing
! will be lost by keeping some old grain
for emergencies. - -s:~...
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 9, cross Pacific slope
by close Of 10, great central valleys II
| to 10, eastern sections IA. Warm wave
| will cross Pacific slope about June 8,
great central valleys IL, eastern Sec
! tons IS. Cool wave will cross Pacific
| slope about June -, great central vail
eys. IA, eastern sections Is.
This disturbance will continue the
severe storms, hot weather and drouth.
| These Of course will cover only small
portions of the country. The storm
| forces will be most severe west Of mer-
idian 80 and particularly on the Pacific
| coast but the, forces of the preceding
storm will be greatest east Of meridian
90
| It is worthy Of note that our predic-
| ton of dangerous storms for the five
days centering on May 10 proved to be
correct and for those of % to 81 the
u. S.. Weather Bureau reported great
increase in the forces on May ~.

Our greatest West India hurricanes
occur in August and September, as 6
general rule, but sometimes they come
in July or October. For 1913 we arr
expecting the principal hurricanes IL
July and October. We are studying
these great storms carefully and lit
tie later will give all the details W,
can. But we are not yet prepared tt
definitely locate them as to time ant
place. Of course it is well known thai
they organize east of the Caribbean set
and near 80 of north latitude, NOV,
westward thru the Caribbean sea, TURF
north and then northeastward while il
the Gulf Of Mexico and pass up the At
lantic off our eastern coast. Thei1
movements are comparatively slow ant
they usually require 10 to IS days t,
pass over the route mentioned Some
| times they pass inland and have be':l
known to do great damage in the Mis-
sissippi valley. While they are in TIL
Gulf Of Mexico cool wave usually de
velopes in the Canadian middle north
west that has been known to cause dam
. aging frosts in midsummer. ,
