ending May II, 1918, the weather was
cold and over the southern and east
ern counties unusually wet. Showers
were general on Thursday and Friday
and in many localities on Monday
The average temperature was about
four degrees below the normal ard
light frost occurred In many sections
on two or three mornings, but no
material damage was done to fruit,
which is still in good condition.
Where the rainfall was not too heavy
rapid progress was made in prepar'
ing ground for corn, and considerable
corn was planted, especially In the
northwestern counties. Corn planting
will be general during the coming
week. The rains were beneficial to
small grain, grass and potatoes, and
in the eastern counties, where the
coil had been dry, it put the ground
in good condition for blowing. Most
of the live stock is now in pasture.
