Carson City, Sept. 15.-The temper
ature during the past week was gen.
orally below normal, especially curing
the latter part, when stormy and un-
settled weather prevailed. There was
a light fall of snow on some of the
high mountain ranges on the 9th, 10th
and 18th. Light rain occurred on the
18th and 18th, but not enough to be
of much benefit to growing vegeta-
ton. Light to heavy frosts in Elko
and White Pine counties on the 7th
and Sth damaged minor crops in ex-
posed localities. A severe and de-
structive frost occurred on the morn
ing of the 14th, causing an immense
amount of damage to corn, potatoes
and garden vegetables in various
parts of the state.
Generally, the weather of the week
has been favorable for harvesting op-
erations, but it was much too cold
for growth of late vegetation.
The harvesting of hay and grain is
practically over, except in few OF
the late districts, where it is nearing
completion. Threshing is well under
way and yields are reported as being
satisfactory. Hay bailing is progress
ing rapidly. Prospects for fruit con-
tinue favorbale. The condition or
stock is reported as being satisfac-
| tory, although range feed is rather
poor in most localities Irrigation
water is very scarce throughout the
state. Warmer weather, which may
be expected, is needed for maturing
late crops.
Lincoln-The past week has been
sultry and often, windy, sharp puns
and whirls driving g~-sand and dust
about. Some light showers in streaks
a. few acres wide by mile or two
long, not of much benefit. At end on
week a little cooler. Highest temper
ature during the week, ia degrees, on
the 1st; lowest II degrees, on the Sd;
trace of rain.
interchangeable weather; stormy
and windy; showed on the mountains
on the 9Th and 10th; heavy frost near
ly every morning; heading nearly fin
ished; second crop of alfalfa cut and
some stacked. Range stock coming
in not very thin.
Humboldt-Highest temperature, "A,
on the 10th lowest, 80, on the 9Th,
the weekly average being 10 degrees
below normal. Weather too cool for
vegetation to make much growth, but
the light frosts of the 9th and 18th
have not damaged late vegetation to
any great extent Light rain occurred
on the 18th, but was not sufficient to
do much good.
Ormsby-The weather of the past
week was unseasonably cool and part
ly cloudy, with killing frost morning
pletion with satisfactory results. Veg
etable crops doing well, but need rain
badly. Highest temperature, 79 de-
grees, on the 10th; lowest, 2S degrees,
on the 14th; trace of rain on the 18th.
Snow fell on the mountains during
night of the 18th.
Washoe-Weather cooler; hay bal
ing going on; grain nearly all in the
stack; very windy; water more plenti-
full; plums ripening.
Nye-A clear week with no precipi-
tation and the wind from the south
west during the day time; from the
northeast during the nights. Highest
temperature, SO degrees, on the I'd;
lowest, 80 degrees. on the 5th; mean
temperature for the week, So degrees.
Practically no small grain raised. Po-
tatoes nearly a failure, small in size
with very few in hill. Turnips and
cabbage very promising. Roasting
and boiling ears of corn, worth more
for the cob than for the kernel. A
cold wave now passing over us. A
: thunderstorm passed nearby to the
east on the Sd. There is good crop
of apples, both fall and winter, with
a fair crop of pears, bullberries and
pinenuts in abundance.
EsmeralGa-Much cooler later part
of the week; grain crop an average
one; lighter crop of potatoes than for
the last two years; good crop of ap-
plies, plums, peaches and pears; water
very scarce.
Lander-High winds and cooler
, weather set in with prospects of rain
in the near future. Apples getting red
and second crop of alfalfa about all in
stack
White pine-Frost morning of the
It'll and Sth cut corn and potatoes in
