Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending June A, 1911.
Another ideal week has been added
to the record of this unusually favor
able season. The week began with
moderate temperature and light to
heavy and fairly well distributed
showers, and closed with excessively
high temperature. Copious rains &C.
Cured on Thursday and Friday over
the east central and northern districts.
The average temperature being 4 to
6 degrees above the normal and the
maximum temperatures equaled or ex-
ceeded 80 degree, on the last days,
over the larger part of the state. The
rainfall was generally much below the
normal although all sections received
some moisture, and in many localities
the showers were heavy. All crops,
especially corn made rapid growth and
are in good condition generally, except
in southeastern counties where the
rainfall has been light for several
weeks. Small grains are, however,
heading with shorter straw than usual
and the hay crop will be light, although
considerable improvement was noted
during the week in localities where
heavy showers have occurred.
