 orable for outdoor work. According to i Director F. P. Chaffer the rainfall was i generally deficient, and rain is needed i over much the greater portion of the
 state. The sunshine was abundant.
 The weekly mean temperature for the
 entire state, 7s degrees, was about the
 normal, an average deficiency of few
 degrees during the first half of the week i being offset by a corresponding excess
 during the latter half. The first few
 nights were rather cool for the season. 1 The lowest temperature was 49 degrees, 1 at Scottsboro on the morning of the 17th. l During the last three days, the afternoon l temperatures averaged well up in the
 nineties. Sunday was the warmest day,
 and the highest temperature was 1o2 de- l grees, at Selma.
 1 The rainfall was mostly in light and
 widely scattered showers, though local l ly heavy rain occurred in Cherokee l county on the 17th. Over much the great 1 CT portion of the state there was no l precipitation, and a general rain is need- l ed. A drought of several weeks duration l continues unbroken in many of the 1 southeastern counties.
