to cross continent July 23 lo 27,
warm wave 22 to 20, cool wave 25
to an. The week centering on July
2" was expected to average cooler
I hail usual with storm forces about
normal, ruin less than the average of
Hi' month and temperatures going,
lo near the frost line In northern sec-
tion: as the cool waves pass.
\exI disturbance will reach Pacific

leys 29 lo 31, eastern seel Ions August

slope about July 27, great central val-
leys 29, eastern sections 31. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
llilly 30, great central valleys \ug I,
«• isii rn sections Aug. 3.
This will cause great extreme'! of
temperature as the warm wave and
cool wave pass your section. Tl o
storms will lie more severe than usual
It Is the fourth of our dangerous
storm periods predicted for July. We
v.ill say the same thing about tills
storm period we did about the storms
to reach great central valleys July 7.
Better not go on excursclons about
July 29. The storms might rock Ilia
bout.
1 General averages of August tem-
peratures below normal, but great
extremes are expected. The weeks
centering on August \ and 21 will
average very cool ami 1 1 ami 27 very
Warm. I'nusually hoi with the wal in
waves that will reach meridian 90
near August II and 28 and unusually
cool Willi the cool waves that. Will
reach meridian III) near August 2, 20
and 31. Very dangerous storms near
August 17. denerully good crop-
weaiher month; rains generally suffi-
cient anil well distributed. Most ruin
during week centering on August 17
and too much ruin in Spring wheat
sections during that woek.
This Is not the time for farmers to
sell their new crops. All of lOurope
is maneuvering lo get our cotton and
grain prices down and some of our
big speculators are assisting them.
The only way to meet tho situation Is
for farmers not to see at this time.
War or no war the conditions of the
world are such that the demand for
grain and cotton must and will grow
better.
Our forecasts of drouth In northern
and western Europe have proven cor-
rect but It Is not lo the Interest of
lOurope to say anything about the
damage, particularly to Spring wheat.
Our forecasts of floods In china havo
proven correct. Our seasonal rain-
fall forecasts for this continent havo
boon 90 per cent good. We had the
amount and extent of the rainfall
correct but Its location was a little
