New Records FOR Third Week In
June.
OF especial interest is the current bulle-
tin for New England, issued by the De
partment of Agriculture. II says:
"The weather Of the week past was
practically a repitition Of that which pre-
vailed the week preceding, and was no.
table for exceptionally low temperatures,
excessive cloudiness and in some sections,
abnormally heavy rainfall Some cores
pondents report no sunshine at all, and
others but few hours
Judging from the reports received and
other data at hand, it is probably safe TO
assume that in the past thirty years there
has not been a third week In June with SO
low mean temperature.
