VERMONT AFFECTED LEAST

Boston, July l5.-vermont and Rhode
Island alone, Of the six New England
states, had anywhere near their normal
rainfall for the month OF June; and
they, too, were well behind Reports
from stations in different sections of
each of the states show that New Hamp-
shire was dryest of all, Massachusetts a
close second, Maine next and then Con.
nectieut, each of them with less than
two inches OF precipitation for the
month. Rhode Island felt the beneficial
effects of 2.6s inches, and Vermont was
a veritable well-spring, compared with
New Hampshire, with 2.S3 inches.
More than eighty stations in the six
states named are included in the report
which the local weather bureau now
has at hand and the instances in which
the precipitation for the month was
greater than normal, in all those differ
ent towns and cities, could be counted
on the fingers of one hand with fingers
to spare. In the figures TO be found
in appended tables there are only three
such instances named, which prevents
at those places. st. Johns
bury, VI, was the big rain producer OF
the lot, with a fall of AS inches, or
LIS inches above normal. Nauagan-
sett, r. l., came next with 1896 inches,
Les inches above normal, and Kingston
also in Rhode Island, was .GS inches
above the customary.
Massachusetts was below the mark
in every case and only three of score
OF towns and cities showed higher than
two inches. from which the amounts
were as low at 81 at Lawrence, 2.53
inches from normal. Boston had to get
along with 1906 inches, making it one
OF the dryest places in the state.
