Washington, D. C., March 21.—
Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis-
turbance to cross continent March 22
to 26, warm wave 21 to 25, cool
wave 24 to 28. This storm wave
was expected to be of more than av-
erage force with most rain in south-
ern sections. Temperatures of the
five days centering on the warm
wave were expected to average cold-
er than usual.
Next disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast about March 28, cross Pa-
cific slope by close of 29, great cen-
tral valleys 30 to April 1, eastern
sections April 2. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about March 28,
great central valleys 30, eastern sec-
tions April 1. Cool wave will crosB
Pacific slope nbout March 31, great
central \alleys April 2. eastern sec-
tions April 4.
Immediately preceding this dis-
turbance a cold wave is expected
that will carry frosts further south
than usual and the warm wave fol-
lowing will cause higher tempera-
tures than usual. Cold weather will
continue through the first, week of
April and then temperatures will
rise more rapidly than the season
would Indicate, the last half of April
being much warmor than usual.
Next disturbance will reach Pa-
cific coast about April 3, cross Pa-
cific slope by close of 4, great cen-
tral valleys 5 to 7, eastern sections
8. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about April 3, great central
valleys .*. eastern sections 7. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
March 6, great central valleys 8,
eastern sections 10.
Temperatures of this disturbance
will average lower than usual and
not much rainfall. The only Im-
portant feature will be the unusual-
ly cool weather. The month of April
will average warmer than usual in
the states and from about to a little
below normal in Canada.
Rainfall of April will be very
much scattered and uneven. From
Manhattan, Kansas, to Albany, New
York, in a wide strip, rainfall will
generally be above normal while a
few places in that strip will have a
deficiency in moisture. In most of
the cotton belt rainfall will be de-
ficient but near the Gulf coast and In
Cuba more than usual rain Is ex-
pected. For Canada the rainfall will
be much varied but generally below
the usual normal for April.
But nearly all northern sections
are well supplied with moisture as
the soil was generally wet when
frozen last fall. Spring wheat should;
be sown so as to mature by Sept.
10 aB about that time frosts are ex-
pected.
I advise planters to put cotton on
low or flat land this year as a gen-
eral rule. This will not suit all
parts of the cotton belt but it will
be the best as a general rule. In
fact most parts of the cotton belt
would better plant and sow only such
crops as will mature early.
As I see the 1912 cropweather It
will go to extremes more than once.
Now very dry, then very wet. TheBe
conditions will be pointed out In
these bulletins as we come to the
months.
If our P. S. and Canadian weather
buieaus were in possession of this
weather forecast system the calcu-
lations could be given to everyone n
'year or more In advance froe. I am
doing the best I can with the force
at my command'. To give beat re-
sults ten times the force I have
should be employed. I have five
clerks, the U. S. Weather Bureau
has over a hundred.

hibernating here a day or so. He
tips the beam on the scales as long
as the beam will "hold out," and
then gets of the scales. He is as
fine a fellow as he is large, and his
heart is as big as an East Texas
gourd. We never did know him real
good until we spent two weeks with
him in Rochester, N. Y., last sum-
mer with the famous, world-wide

vllle. "Big Boy Woodman Sam," is
all right.
Sweet summer has come again and
the birds are chirping their sweet
songs as the prairies are assuming a
coat of green verdure and putting
forth beautiful blossoms that fill the
fresh sunkissed air with fragrance
and aroma that makes humanity feel
a proud spirit surging with vigor and
enthusiasm that inspires human ef-
forts in a forwnrd march of progress.
The beautiful days of sunshine make
human hearts swell with a love of
freedom's air and chatter in gaiety.
Our efforts are rewarded more free-
ly In days of cheery, bright and
merry sunlit skies.
Now that the Woodmen of the
World are making special offers to
get new members to fill their ranks
and that the rates are as cheap as
could be asked it Is a time far each
and every member to go to his good
neighbor and tell him the excellent
opportunity he has to become a mem-
ber during this big class Initiation
campaign.
