Washington, D. c., August 81
Last bulletin gave forecasts OF dis
turbances to cross continent to ~
and 13 to II; warm waves Z TO II /
and IL to is; cool waves 10 to ~ and
Is to ~. Great extremes Of tenn
peratures will result, very warm
near Aug. s and unusually cool near
IL. These being the dates that the
warm wave and cool wave will cross
meridian 80, eastward bound.
There is where the corn crop will
find its test and the result is in;
doubt. Dry, hot weather has the
right of Way and the final result is
problematicaI. Friends Of this
weather bureau have been advised
to buy and hold grain and cotton,
particularly oats and cotton, be
cause we believed that crop wealth
er Of 1913 would cause these farm
products to go to higher prices.
+. Grain and cotton have largely
fluctuated in prices thruout the sea-
son and without any real cause. The
| big speculators manipulated the
prices. But our advice has prov
en- good and those who bought and
! held grain and cotton on our ad-
lSice early in the crop season now
have good profits.
we continue to advise farmers
not to sell and advise those who
have bought to hold at least till the
Eend Of August because we believe
August weather will make higher
prices.
Next disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about August II, cross
Pacific slope by close of i6, great
central valleys 10 to 81, eastern sec
tions %. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about August AZ, great
central valleys AZ, eastern sections
81. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about August 20, great central
valleys %, eastern sections "a.
With this disturbance the tenn
iperatures will turn upward follow
| ing the comparatively cool weather
| that followed the last disturbance
and the last half of August Is ex-
pected to be unusually warm and
| dry. Not far from August 12 show
ers may he expected.
VI The most severe storms Of Au-
gust will come with this last de-
scribea storm wave but no very des-
t1uctiye storms are expected. These
storms may be expected along pdral-
lei OF latitude 40. The Baltimore
storm July 20 was in time eoI ou1
las; storm period of July.
A new Chief Of the u. S. Weather
!. Bureau has been appointed ard the
coa.m. nts on the appointment are
generaIy favorable. Professor Mar

good purposes and that is the mos
important feature il the character
Of any man. His task is enormous
