Temperatures Of 100 degrees or

times each year in middle and western
Kansas and during fully three fourths
OF the summers in the eastern third
of the state. The temperature falls
to zero or lower in practically all
parts of the western and central por-
tons OF the state during the course
of each winter and usually for sew

About the Rainfall.
The average amount and the prop
er distribution of precipitation Grain,
melted snow and sIeet) that falls dur
ing the year in any country is the most
important element in the climate of
that country. 1t determines the kind
of crops that will be raised. the dem
sity of population and the price of
real estate.
The average annual precipitation
for Kansas, as a whole, is 27.S7
inches. 1t decreases with remarkable
regularity from "A inches in the
more than Is inches at the Colorado
line.
The average amount for the eastern
third of the state is 35-3S inches; for
the middle third 900 inches; for the
western third. 1884 inches.
Dividing the state with an east and
west line the average for the northern
half is practically the same as the av-
erage for the southern half. and any
county on the Nebraska line receives
of precipitation as a county due south
of it on the Oklahoma line, except that
the southeastern quarter of the state
shows a slight excess over the north
western, and the northwestern quarter
receives slightly more than the south
western.
Practically all the state, except the
two western tiers of counties, receives
more than 20 inches of precipitation
annually
The least average amount falls in
January when. fortunately, it is least
needed. From January there is a
steady increase in the average preci- |
pitation until June. which receives the |
heaviest amount of any month of the
year The average for this month
ranges from six inches in the south !
eastern counties to between two and |
three inches along the Colorado line. |
At this time of the year measurable |
rain falls in all parts of the state on |
an average of one day out of every |
three
Precipitation Varies.
From June until the end of the year |
there is a steady decrease in the aver |
age amount of precipitation, though /
the heaviest downpours usually occur |
from July to September. Torrential /
rains of from five inches to nearly ten /
inches in twenty-four hours time have |
occurred during this time of the year
in many parts of the state, even the
extreme western counties.
The average annual snowfall of the
state ranges from ten inches in the
south-central portions to about two
