NOT IN 40 YEARS.
Heat Record of Early Summer
Has Not Been EQuaIed.
Great Suffering and Loss of
Hundreds of Lives.
CONFINED TO NORTH.
The Southern States We're Com
paratiVely Exempt.
The Outlook Is Favorable for
the Usual Crops.
CONFINED TO NORTH.

Washington, Aug. Mot in the past
40 years have temperatures in the
United states during the late spring
and early summer been so uniformly
nigh for so long a period and over such
a large portion of the country as this
year, according to weather bureau Of
ficials The high temperatures were
most pronounced over the more central
and northern portions of the country,
while the southern states were com
paratively exempt from unusual heat.
The intense heat occurring over the
more pOpulOuS sections caused great
suffering in the congested portions of
the cities and resulted in the loss of
probably many hundreds of lives.
Lack of rainfall over the great agri-
cultural districts during much of the
long heated period generally retarded
vegetable growth and threatened a
curtailment of crop production. Rains,
however, with cooler weather, greatly
improved conditions and the outlook at
the present time is favorable for the
gathering of the usual harVestS of most
of the great staples
The period of greatest discomfort was
from June % to July 10. Higher tenn
peratures occurred at other periods
over much of the territory but the re-
sulting discomfort and loss of human
life were doubtless augmented in the
period just passed by the fact that the
most intense heat occurred toward the
close of a long heated period when the
animal vitality had been largely 6e-
ton for further withstanding the de-
bilitating effects of greater heat. The
nearest approach to the hot waves was
in 1901
