ending Monday. June 2:
The last week has been dry, with about
normal temperature. The daily mean
temperature has averaged 2 degrees be-
low normal in eastern counties and 2 de-
grees above in western.
The rainfall has generally been too
small to measure. A very few local show
ers. with a rainfall exceeding half an inch,
occurred, but covered very small areas.
Winter wheat and oats have grown
splendidly the last week. The heads OF
wheat are Of good size and seem TO be
filling we'll. Oats have improved to nor
NAL condition in some localities, but gen.
orally the condition is below normal. The
temperature has been too low for rapid
growth Of corn. but the stand is good and
the plant healthy; cultivation has pro-
crossed rapidly the last week and corn ie
generally quite free of weeds. Alfalfa
cutting is general and in most parts OF
the state the crop is good. Potatoes are
in unusually good condition. Pastures are
fine and stock is doing well. Cherries
will be a poor crop; apples are dropping
some. but promise much better.
