! The weather continued favorable dur

frosts on the 4th, 5th and 9th are re-
ported as causing some injury to bud
ding vines and tender vegetation in por-
tions of the northern and central sec.
tions, but the total damage does not
appear to be great, except possibly | n
the vicinity of Albuquerque. where
beans in bloom, melons and tender
plants in many places seem to be killed
outright. Some slight damage also has
been caused to grapes and other fruits
by the prevailing high winds of the past
week.
Light showers have occurred in CEN
trail, western and northwestern sections,
| but in the southeast the week has been

rains during the middle of the week,
accompanied by hail, while not injuring
fruit or crops particularly, were I'M
favorable to spring lambs, and caused
