Washington, D. Jan. 30.- -
I.attt bulletin gave forecasts of dir-
turbanee to cross continent Feb. 1
to warm wave .Ian. 31 to Feb A,
cool wave Feb. 3 to 7. Tempera
tures of the week will average a lit-
tle higher than usual, mostly precipi-
tation In northeastern sections b.u'
a general deficiency Is expected,
storm forces not great hut about
the u ual average, general tendency
of temperatures downward. Heavy
rains in South America, northwest-
ern Europe; Chlnta, Japan, the
PllllpflBW and Australia.
Next disturbance will reach Pa-
xdJie pool. obQdt g4fc,--5T-^«nW Pa-
cific slope by close of 6, great cen-
tral valleys 7 to 9, eastern sections
10. Warm wave will cross Pacific
slope about Feb. 5, great central
\ alleys 7, eastern sections 0. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
Feb. S, great central valleys lfi,
eastern sections ,12.
AH features of this storm will be
very similar to the one preceding
except That Uie temperature# will
average lower. Early truck garden-
ers should expect frosts far south
not far rrom Feb. IS, Very warm
expected not far from Feb. 1S, Cold
waves near Feb. I** and■ tS.
We successfully located the snows
and rains for the precipitation
month. Dee. 33 to Jan. it. The
t>eginning or the wet cropwefher
s* sson • for the cotton states—Feb
20 to Augu.4 IS will be very
much like the January precipitation
month, ex-cessive in southern and
eastern sections and more than av-
erage on Pacific coast from San
T ranciseo southward.
We n< w come to the 1915 erop-
w* ather division 1, as designated on
Foster's weather map. This in-
cludes out middle northwest and
the -( anadian middle west, or all
west of meridian 90-to the Rock-
ies and. north of uttllhde of St.
1 puis. That division will get n
drouth Feb. 30 tp April 20 and not
sufficient rain April 20 to August
I $. Farmers should plant and sow
for less than usual rain during the
eropiieason of 1915 tin division
< numbered 1.
We are confident that this fore-
-east will prove correct for three-
fourths of that division and the
safest method is to follow this ad-
vice. Each locality cuufd be wont-
ed out more definitely from the rec-
ords of the past, one hundred years
but our inecnie will not permit,
such great expense. We are of
opinion that no such a Igenerai
drouth will occur ih any other di-
vision but of course local drouths
of small extent may be expected on
account of mountain ranges, great
valleys and tliR evaporation locu-
tions.
