New England Weekly Weather-Crop
Bulletin.

The following is No. of the New Eng
land Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin.
The temperature for Nes England for the
week ending with June 18Th. has not varied
far from the normal of other years. In all
the northern section there has been q slight
deficiency; about an average 10 reportt d
from southern Massachusetts and Rhode
Island and in Connecticut it has been 3
little In excess. The first part of the week
the days were warm, though the nights were
generally cool. On the llth. the highest
temperature of the season was recorded,
only to be followed by continued cold un-
favorable weather, which has more than
offset the effects of the warm days. At
Newton, N. H., on the It'll. the maximum
temperature was SO degrees and at Marble
head, Mass, it was IS degrees. The range
in temperature at Newton was ~ degrees,
and at Water bury, Conn, 81 degrees.
The precipitation has been lightest in
Maine and heaviest in the southern section.
At Lebanon. Conn, the fall WAS 80
inches; at Kingston, X. |. l5S; Worces-
ter, Mass, l. 20; Newton, N. H., LII ;
Hanover. N. II. ,O.Gl. Numerous thunder
storms have occurred, being heaviest on the
l lth, and considerable damage has been
done both by lightning and by the wind and
rain. On the whole the amount Of precipi-
tation has been slightly in excess, and will
have become still more increased by the
storm which was in progress at the time
most of the observers sent in their reports.
The sunshine has been abundant in the
southern part and but little below the
average in the northern. At Kingston. X.
L., there were five fair days aud two cloudy
ones. In the northern section there were
some cloudy days on the drst of the week
as well as during the last of it.
The first few days of the week were very
favorable and farm work was rushed, while
crops of all kinds made wonderful growth.
In the northern section planting and cow
ing which had been delayed was pushed
nearly to completion, while in the southern
section tobacco setting was nearly finished
crops were being hoed, and haying had be-
gun in several sections. But the cold north
east rain storm has checked work of all
kinds and brought it almost to standstill on
lands that were only partly dried. In the
North some pieces that were already late
for planting will be sown, and grain that
was intended for fodder will have to stand
and ripen. Grain is rustng in the South,
and corn is growing slowly. Garden veg
etables are looking well, and an abundant
hay crop is insured everywhere, excepting
on some low lands.
EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS: Maine, East
Sumner, early peas in blossom at the Pine
Tree State seed farm. North Belgrade,
quite large amount of planting has been
done during the past week. Winslow, a
good deal of grain not sown yet with no
prospect to SOW just yet.
