Washington, Jan. 31.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
continent February to 6, warm wave
2 10 7. cool wave 6 to 10. The warm
wave of this will bring warmer than
usual and the cool wave cooler than
usual, force of the storms Will De more
intense than the average. Preclpita
ton will not be great and VIII ran
principally in same sections as for the
past five months.
The war planet, Mars, is on the pro-
gram for display of his powers near
February 6, and ar ough house may
he expected in the way of extreme
temperatures and weather bordering
on the blizzard. Watch the elements
for freakish weather within day or
two OF February 6.
Five months ago we located the cen
tiers of disturbances that would control
our weather from October to February,
inclusive. About the Gulf of Mexico,
Bering Sea and Newfoundland were
given as the foci and lines connecting
these along which precipitation and
storms would principally occur, ana
that he Rockies and Pacific slope
would be affected to a greater extent
than usual.
Butt he time has come for a change.
During the last half of February new
centers of disturbance will be formed
that will largely control weather
events for March to July, inclusive.
The period covers the most important
part Of our American crop weather
season, and we hope to give valuable
information through these columns.
Next disturbance will reach Pacihc
coast about February 3, cross Pacific
slope by close Of 10, great central val
lays II to 13, Eastern sections IA.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about February 9. great central valleys
IL. Eastern sections 10. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about February
| 10, great central valleys IA, Eastern
sections 16.
This will be the most severe storm
of the month and its principal effects
will be long cold spell that will give
a real touch OF winter and the coasters
may get an opportunity to use their
sleds.
Another disturbance will reach Pa
cific coast about February IA, cross
Pacific slope by close of IS, great cen
| trail valleys 16 to IS, Eastern sections
Il9. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about February IA, great central
valleys 16, Eastern sections Is. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
February II, great central valleys ~,
Eastern sections q.
! oil tho 1nnp cold
spell and the last part OF February Will
be moderate with less than usual pre-
cipitation. Some freezing and thaw'
ing in February will not be good for
winter grain, which has an unusual
growth on account of the warm winter.
Winter wheat is reported unusually
good and its condition will go down
several points before we are through
February.
\ Again we urge producers TO prepare
for an unusually good year for busi'
ness. Farm products will continue to
bring good prices Set your plows
deeper and get some Of the virgin ele'
ments OF the lower soil. Soil is i'm
poverished because certain elements
eyaporate and are drawn into the vege
table production through the leaves
J There is plenty of those lost elements
in the lower soils and If you can get
the nose of your pillow to go little
deeper you will find them.
Some soils would be better by few
sticks of dynamite exploded under
them; particularly is this true of our
Eastern and Southern abandoned
lands.
