Foster Predicts Good Crops Generally
In 1922

The following is forecast made by
Foster and published Nov. "a. He
appears to have been quite correct
and our readers will watch with in
terest his forecast for the coming
year:
The week centering on Dec. will
be warmer and the storms more Sc
we're than usual, the precipitation
greater than the average of November
and December 1921. But don't for
get I told you, some time ago, Novem-
ber and December would bring less
moisture than usual and that Winter
grain would be damaged by dry
weather, and damage has already
reached Winter grain, the dry weather
is here and we have only passed
through one of the two dry months.
have many letters complaining that
MY newspaper bulletins do not give all
know as far ahead as could. You
show me how / can live on it and l
will publish, in the misrepresentation
is the only way to reach the people
my complete weather forecasts three
years in advance. / absolutely know
the cause Of good and bad crop
weather, for large sections, three
years in advance and am very close
to correcting the few mistakes ! have
made for small sections
Top of the warm wave of this storm
will be in Alaska November 20, West
ern Canada 80, northwest America,
Dec. /, on Meridian 80, covering it
from middle provinces of Canada to
Gulf of Mexico, December 2. The
storms will be one day later and first
part of cold wave two days later. 1t
will be a severe cold wave and the
bottom of it will reach meridian 80
near December g. These storm
features will sweep eastward across
the continent in about two days after
reaching meridian 30. Study the
above carefully and you will get it's
benefit.
I did not make any mistake in my
general forecast of crop weather and
crops of North America for any of
the past five crop seasons. For small
sections did make mistakes on rain
fall and the little up and down, rather
unimportant, temperature movements.
But after 10 months of additional ex
periments with the weather records OF
the past 100 years, ! now have these
small errors nearly all corrected. Our
North American crop weather and
crops for 1922 will be the most i'm
portant that will have occurred with
in 100 years. I absolutely know the
causes and can closely approximate
the general crop-weather and crops of
everv continent. The greatest op-
nort-n;tv that agriculture Of North
America ev"r had lies in the CROP
weather and crops of next year It
would damage my interests greatly
to err about this matter, but unhesi-
tatinglv l declare that EXCEPT one
crop, three-fourths of North America
will make good crops in 1922. Market
prices of 1922 will surely be better
than they are now.
The fruit crop Of 1922 will be un
usually important because of the,
great failure in 1921. For 1922 some
late frosts are expected that shculd -
provided against hv preparinr
make smoke fires between midnight
and sunrise. These bulletins will an
nounce the cold waves that are ex-
pected to be followed by fruit killing
frosts in January for southern sections
February for middle sections and
March for northern. Those inter
ested in fruit should study how to
protect it from frost.
