Show WEATHER FORECASTS FOR STOCKMEN . The chief of the Weather Bureau desires that the special forecasts of cold, stormy weather be placed within with-in reach of every sheepman and cattleman, cat-tleman, that can take advantage, of the information. . . Therefore every stockman who can, in any way, protect his stock against the weather upon receipt of forecasts is invited to give his name and grazing location to this office, stating from what central point the forecasts can most conveniently be received by him when issued by telegraph tele-graph or telephone, whether from the telephone company, Forest Service Ser-vice Official, newspaper office, bank, or other institution. We should also know how many hours or days advance notice is required, re-quired, what weather elements are most disastrous, and the number of animals involved. This service will be at government expense as far as practicable. J. Cecil Alter, Meteorologist. |
