the 26th to 31st over the greater portion
of the state the minimum temperature
ranged in the fiftieS, with maximum
readings very near 80 deg. at several
stations.
This change to warm weather was
very desirable and all crops and plants
ara now growing quite rapidly. Corn is
especially benefited. The amount of
rain which fell during the week aver
aged about l.30 inches for the state, it
being q to inch in the Red river val
ley and from l to inches in the CEN
trail and southwest portions. Although
the showers have been quite generous
and almost daily of late, there is not a
single complaint of there being too
much rain for the crops.
In consequence of the rains. not much
sunshine has prevailed. The outlook is
very encouraging for farmers.
