WEATHER BULLETIN
Washington, June 27, 1928. July cropweather will be the most important of this season and will average a generally favorable cropweather month. After the expected cool and wet period June 28 to July 6, Jupiter will change his influence from that of cool and wet to that which will cause periods of moderately hot and dry weather. Averagerainfall of northern1hemisphere was expected to decrease after June 25, but this decrease will hardly be noticeable until moderate storm wave expected to center on July 5 has passed. Temperature changes during July are not expected to be severe nor of unusually great departures from normal but will go to greater'extremesabove than below normal, causing month to avcrage a little above normal temperatures for the continent. Principal rainfall of July will occur in eastern half of continentandmostly during first half of month. Principal decrease in rainfall will be expected on northern slopes and just east of Rockies. July often brings severe hail and frost damage to northern fields; I expect July 1928 to be unusually free from killing frosts in Canada, but that somehail and high winds will be probable near 4 and 11 in western and near 12 and 25 in eastern part of section 1, which includes the Prairie Provinces. Coolest weeks of month will be expected to center on 4 and 24, warmest weeks centering on 10 and 19. Moderate storms will center on 5, 11 and 29, mild storms centering on 18 and 24.Storms centering on 5 and 11 will cause most severe weather and most precipitation of month in cottonbelt, moving fairly well to the south; these two storm waves are expected to cause dangerous storms in central south Europe and severe cold wave in Argentina, Warm waves during mid-July are expected to be very favorable to insect breeding and growth, especially in central and eastern part of continent, Great Lakes to Gulf of Mexico. My monthly charted temperature forecasts are only intended to be applied to cropweather averages or periods of temperatures that would materially effect crop conditions. There are periods when those_temperature forecasts are very accurate when applied to daily averages, but their chief value iswhen applied to three day averages, by which they should be verified. One day of unusual extremes haslittle effect upon crop conditions and yields; three consecutive days of unusual extremes will have a serious effect, possibly destroy a crop. This bureau is always ready to make explanations, to send map of weather sections or to be of any possible service to readers of these bulletins who address Foster, Box 1930, Washington, D. C., enclosing return postage. It is not meant that free weather forecasts will be sent.

COMMENTS
By S. S. Still, D.O., LL.M.
Will Sanford says of E. Meredith, I think more of Meredith dead than of W. W. Marsh living." Marsh, democratic leader of Iowa, led the faction which opposed Meredith as presidential candidate. Marsh now says of Meredith, :'I am shocked and saddened by the news of his death. He was generous to a fault. Iowa has never had a more public spirited citizen. "The D. M. Tribune says: "He made 8,000 unsecured loans to children." I might add that he would have made the best candidate the democrats could name.
Colonel Robbins, the Iowan who is assistant secretary of war, told the graduating West Pointers that the era of world peace has not arrived and is not even approaching. wish I could quote all AGE says of Robbins' thesis, but this much is enough to show the trend. "He, Robbins, says what he really thinks about war and about peace without devoting most of his time to proving that he is a better friend ofworld peace than anybody else." I hope the blind preacher will quote this sentence for the president's information. None SO blind as those who will not see, has been true through all the ages.

The Commorcial State Bank failed to open its doors for business Friday morning. It had been closed by a voluntary act of the board of directorsr and has been placed in the hands of Fred A. Guiles, an examiner for the State Finance Department. Since the failure of the bank at Baring in which Mr. Myers, president of the Commercial Bank, and Carl E. McGee, cashier, owned a majority of the stock, there h a d been a quiet withdrawal of deposits from heCommercial Bank. Late Thursday afternoon there was a run on the bank and the directors voluntarily closed the doors to prevent a further run Friday morning. Nothing has been given out by the bank examiner in charge, but in winding up the bank's affairs, if no money is wasted, there will be more topay off the depositors and several thousand dollars to spare, It will take about $190,000 to square the bank's liabilities. The capital stock of $50,000 and unencumbered real estate at a low valuation and the notes due the bank aremore than sufficient 10 cover all deposits, after allowing a large amount for the bad notes.
