Rainfall-The average rainfall during the
past week has been above the normal for the
corresponding week of former years in all sec
tions of the State. 1t ranged from LIS to
2,7I inches in the Northern Sections and from
100 to 3.77 inches in the Southern Section,
falling almost continuously from the oath to
28th. The southeastern portion Of the State
received the greatest, and tho north-central
portion the least rainfall during the week.
Temperature-A deficiency of several de-
grees in the average temperature for the week
is reported from the northern and western
portions of the State 1.-THE region affected by
the cold-wave of the 27thl and q slight e X
cess is reported from the southeastern por-
ton.
Sunshine-The percentage Of sunshine for
the State for the week will not average 80 per
cent being more than 20 per cent below the
normal i'm all sections except the extreme
northwest, from whenceean average percent
fee is reported.
UGeneral Remarks-The weather conditions
have been less favorable to farm work during
the past week than in any prior week OF the
season. The excessive cloudiness and rainfall,
and the general cool weather kept the soil in
q soggy condition necessitating re blowing
land in several of the parishes from which re-
ports were received, and practically putting
q stop to all seeding.
In the southern parishes the exceeding
moisture and cool weather has been unfayor.
able to the growth of cane and corn, some OF
the latter being reported damaged by cut
worms in Vermilion parish.
The rice crop is reported in q very good
condition, the wet weather being propitious
to its rapid growth.
Garden vegetables are slow to mature and
will reqnire sunshine and temperature above
the average during the present week to pro
duce fair results.
