Old Corn, as Drouth Still Threatens
the Corn Belt—Latest Detailed
Report.
."Ail these forecasts to date were re
markably well verified, but Foster
seems to lead because of his long
range forecasts. If the forecasts
.'.should continue good as these were
we could soon rely on knowing our fu
ture weather to a reasonable cer
tainty," This was the report made by
the judges of the weather forecasting
test, which was held recently at Jack
sonville, o: Prof. Snavely and the
United State weather bureau men
were the other contestants.
Professor W. T. Foster of Washing
ton, D. C.. still predicts a drouth for
the corn belt and advocates the buying

can well carry. The latest report is

ies about Feb. 2, great central valleys
4, eastern states 6.
This disturbance will cause a great
and general rise in temperatures,
which will average high till about Feb.
10 and will bring the highest tempera
tures of the month. The weather fe&
tures of this disturbance will reach
their greatest intensities about Jan
30, west of the Rockies and Feb. 6 or
7 out on the Atlantic. The cold wave
following this storm is not expected to
be severe and precipitation of the
week covered by the disturbance will
not be great. The middle part of Feb
ruary will be unusually cold, while the
first and last weeks of the month
will average unusually warm.
About and following Jan. 19 a great
cold wave is expected to spread out
over nearly all the continent, causing
very cold weather and averaging much
below normal till the end of January,
with a moderate warm wave reaching
meridian 90 about 27.
Next bulletin will give general fore
casts of weather for February. Crop
weather of 1907 continues to look bad
in parts of the great grain growing
sections. Get all the corn at a fair
price and hold as much of that cereal
as circumstances will permit. I do
not speculate in any of the cereals and
therefore my advice is not biased by
any selfish interest.

those of W. T. Foster from one to

Evidences are cropping out tending
to prove that the weather bureau of
ficials are losing faith in their ability
to make l"ng range forecasts, but they
seem to sec the necessity of giving
their short range forecasts a little
longer in advance. Th6y are to be
congratulated on having been con
vinced that the public demands longer
in advance weather forecasts.

PROFESSOR COPPIN SAYS THAT
FRENCH EXCEL IN ARTISTIC
COOKING
American Girls are Destined to be
Greatest Cooks on Earth—Expert
Chef Delivers Talk on Foreign Cook
ing.
"What nation excels in cooking? It
is my belief that the English lead in
staple cooking the French in fancy
cooking and new dishes the Italians
are also fine cooks and the German
chefs must not be overlooked, but the
latter differ only from the Americans
and English only in what they cook,
both indluging in the heavier foods,"
said Professor C. A. Coppin when
speaking to a representative of the
Courier recently in regard to foreign
cooking.
Professor Coppin, representing the
Mamma's Pure Phosphate brand of
baking powder and George M. Jackson
of the Quality Steel Range company
have been holding practical demonstra
tions and giving free lectures on the
culinary art at the Martin Furniture
and Carpet company for the past week.
These talks are of great interest to the
women and girls of Ottumwa, and the
attendance is growing rapidly with
each meeting. The lessons will be con
tinued this afternoon and this even
ing. In continuing, Professor Coppin
said:
"In England the families prepare
their meals and send them out to the
bakery shops where the baker receives
them and give the people a check. At
tbe time the meal has been prepared nations of the earth."

according to agreement the check is
presented and the cooked meal is tak
en home. This plan is especially true
of the Sunday dinners. Probably the
most popular meal with the English Is
roast beef, potatoes browned under the
meat and Yorkshire pudding, all pre
pared in a division roasting pan. This
is diversified with roast mutton and
other items, but roasts, meat pies and
pudding lead in popularity with the
English.
French Are Slow Eaters.
"There is no nation that gives so
much time to their meals as the
French people. Even among the work
ing class the dinner hour is from one
to two hours and no French meal is
complete without wines. The meals
there are always served in courses
consisting of many appetizing dishes
and is unlimited in variety, and. from
an artistic standpoint, the French
probably excel. In comparing the Eng
lish dinner with that of any other na
tionality, one custom is particularly
•noticeable, that of indulging in a great
deal of conversation this part of the
meal being apparently as much a part
of the dinner as the meal itself.
Nation is Young Yet.
"When one considers that we, as a
nation, are only 130 years old and that
we have drawn chefs and people from
all nationalities, it is but a natural
outcome that we. should not
as yet settle down to what
might be termed a distinctive
style of cooking. But we will ulti
mately drift to this and the American
style of cooking will embrace the most
appetizing dishes of all nationalities
apropos of this nurpose an Irishman
marries a French girl. She will natur
allv serve him with the best of French
dishes. He "will demand some things
that appeal to htm. The result will
be that she jvill learn to cook them
and the outcome will be that they will
be eating the best of each style of
cooking. This same thing will apply to
any other marriage between different
nationalities and you can see that the
American girl is destined to be- the
greatest cook on earth, as we as a na
tion are mixing with all the greater
