ers. weather observer at the
Oregon Agricultural College in
his last report.
There were l6 clear, 3 partly
cloudy and IL cloudy days. Rain
fell on six different days during
the month. The past month the
rain has made favorable condi-
tons for early fall plowing and
for growing corn and winter
kale, though it has caused pota-
toes to be slow in maturing.
THE rainfall for the year end
ing September l was Al. .04 inches
or 2. 46 inches below normal, yet
the rainfall for the three sum-
mer months was 100 inches
above normal. The whole sea-
son has been unfavorably cold
and wet for alfalfa, causing it to
grow slowly and become weedy.
The season has been a good one
however. for clover and grass.
