Weather Bulletin Forecasts Record Warm Cold Shifts Across Continent
A 1917 weather bulletin outlines a sequence of warm waves and cool spells across the continent from December 9 to 17 with storm activity near the Pacific coast and a later widespread cold air surge. It warns that January-like temperatures may persist into December, affecting grain and cotton speculation, and discusses tariffs on textiles and war-era price concerns while urging prudent farm planning for 1917 crops. It references Grace Bowman, stock phrases on wheat pricing, and calls for avoiding market manipulation while urging farmers to act with market signals in mind.
