22. 1889.
PRECIPITATION.
There has been a decided excess of rain
fall IN the southern and southeastern coun-
ties, eliminating in Bourbon and the con-
tiguous portions of Butler, Marion and
Chase, where it reached six inches and up
wards. The excess extends northward into
the northeastern counties, and through the
southern tier of counties to the west line of
the state, thence through the western tier
north into Cheyenne and Rawlins. A def
| eiency exists IN the west central and central
| western counties.
TEMPERATURES AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature has ranged slightly below
| The normal in the eastern division. being
above on the 18th and 18th, but varying Is
| degrees below for the week. In the central
| and western division 1T has been above the
normal until the cool wave of the Goth and
| list. In the east half of the state the SUM-
| shine has been about an average, but above
n the west half.
RESULTS:
The favorable effects of the weather are
most marked in the extreme west where the
| face of nature has been Transformed; the
grass is again green, ponds are full of water,
hay is assured, new potatoes are being
marketed, wheat and rye are being harvest
| ed and the farmers are encouraged. The
past week has improved the oat crop over
the entire state, and in large portion of
which it promises greater yield than that
of last year. The wheat is excellent, being
so heavy as to require from four to six
horses to work the binders. Wheat harvest
is now in progress in nearly every county.
In the south, homegrown peaches and ap-
pies are in the market. The heavy floods
did much damage in Butler and Bourbon.
In Butler the Walnut overhowed Sunday
morning, flooding the valley to depth of
eight feet, much wheat in shocks was swept
into the river, from which, the farmers are
gathering and drying it. In Bourbon where
the enormous rainfall of $50 inches oc-
Cured IN twenty four hours GAO of which
fell in two hours, and $40 in another two
hours all the crops in the Marmaton river
and Mill Creek bottoms are more or less
damaged, some fields being washed out and
others covered up.
