New England Weather

The report of the New England branch of
of the United States Signal Service, fsvOrs
the journal with the following report on the
temperature. rainfall, sunshine and general
condition of crops in New England for the
week ending Jane 10 -
The average temperature for the past week,
was about the normal in this district. Warm
so.itherly winds prevailed causing a high
relative humidity and generally "muggy"
ither.
The precipitation was excessive in all parts
of the district except Connecticut, Rhode
island and along the Massachusetts, coast
II Fas about normal in the western and cen
trail parts of Connecticut. In eastern Con
nectcut, Rhode Island, and along the Mass
acfusetts coast there was marked deic-
iency The thunder storm of the 10Th and
ilth was accompanied by heavy rain in the
northern part of the district and did much in
washing out fields The Connecticut River
in The upper part of its course, rose TO
higher point than it had reached in many
wears; but no serious damage resulted.
There was very little sunshine anywhere,
except in the central part of Vermont and
New Hampshire. Dense morning fogs pre-
vailed along the eastern coast of Maine, in
central Connecticut Valley and along the
sound
The weather, during the past week, was
generally favorable to growi crops. Only
in a few localities where the land Is low and
badly drained, did the hoeh crops suffer
much. A heavy yield of bay is ass1Ired in
all parts of New England. Grass was cut in
Connecticut, notwithstanding the cloudy
weather and the crop is heavier than it has
been for many years. Throughout Massa
chusetts and southern Vermont and New
Hampshire, hay will be made iuring the com
ing week In the northern part the crop is
heavy and will be cut about the fret of July
In Maine, rust has appeared on tim~thy hut
there is no serious danger OF the hay being
affected There has been too little sunshine
in the upper Connecticut Valley, for corn.
Throughout the remainder of New England
cora. grain and potatoes look well AMI are
growing rapidly. In Connecticut rye is turn
ing yellow. from some cause not well known
1t probably due to worms at the root of
the plant No fears for the crop are enter
tame l. The weather has been most favor
able for tobacco. The whole crop has been
planted and is well started. Apple worms
have appeared in great numbers and the
whole crop NAV be ruined.
