DATA IS GIVEN BY
WEATHER BUREAU
Valuable Information Con-
tanned in Summary of
Conditions for Month.

Interesting data concerning weather
conditions during the month of July
has been compiled by the United
States weather bureau here, which cites
conditions throughout the state, deals
with the value of the weather for crop
harvesting and contains much valuable
information. The report is as follows:
The month was not very remark
able one in any respect, but was very
favorable for the ripening and harvest
ing of crops. The mean temperature
was almost degree and half above
the July normal, and has been exceeded
but three times in the last % years.
1t exceeded the mean temperature for
the corresponding month in 1913 by
over four degrees. Maximum tempera-
lures were not unusually high, nor
were minimum temperatures noticeably
low.
The month opened slightly warmer
than the average July, but on the
night of the 18th cooler conditions set
in that lasted for four days, after which
the temperature rose to about normal.
On the Goth in western localities and
the 21st in eastern the temperature fell
rapidly, remaining noticeably below
normal for the following two days.
Thereafter the temperature remained
generally above normal until the close
of the month.
The precipitation averaged somewhat
above normal but, except in the south
east portion, was generally in heavy To-
cal showers. In that part of the state
the precipitation was well distributed,
and generally above normal. In all
other localities practically all the pre-
cipitation occurred during the first 20
days, SO that by the close of the month
crops were badly in need of rain in
those sections, particularly in the
northern counties.
Although the dry weather in the
northern and western portions retarded
the filling out of grain, yet conditions
were fairly favorable. About the mid
die of the month the second cutting of
alfalfa was begun in the southwestern
counties, while timothy hay was being
made in the north.
BY the close of the month much
harvesting had been done, a great deal
of grain being in shock. Owing to the
drought. forest fires were numerous
and persistent. but were kept fairly
under control.
A local but heavy hailstorm passed
over the southern part Of Canyon
county in the Peaceful valley district
on the Goth, destroying crops and
stripping fruit trees.
Pressure.
The mean atmospheric pressure re-
duced to sea level, was as follows:
Boise 1898 inches; Lewiston, 1898
inches; Pocatello, 1894 inches. The
highest readings were: Boise, 3o.19
inches on the 21st; Lewiston, 1920

TO FIGHT
THE FOREST FIRES
Service in Shape to Take
Care of Any Emergency
This Year.

How many men would be available
in Idaho to fight forest fires should
their services be needed on short
notice?
The above question is one which "
flee at Ogden is trying to get an
swered. The wages paid by the forest
department for fire fighters is $3.50
day and board while enroute to the IRE
and 80 cents an hour and board while
actually engaged in service During
that period the men are protected by
the United States Compensation act.
While men for fire fighting are not
actually needed at this time, the de-
partment. warned by the disastrous
fires of 1910, Is getting forearmed In
case of emergency and men who would
be willing to take job at fire fight
ing are asked to furnish their names
and addresses to Emil Grandjean, for
est supervisor, on the sixth floor of the
Idaho building.
This season has been the dryest in
several years and the danger of for
est fires is regarded grave by the for
est officials. Already heavy losses
from fires have occurred in California
and Montana and extra forest patrols
have been placed in the reserves in
Idaho and other states. With many
campers going into the hills and the
danger from other sources, the Off
Gals propose to be prepared to cope
with any situation which may arise.
Mr.. Grandjean states that conditions
are very bad as far as dry season
is concerned but that the forests in this
section are we'll patrolled and that a
fire could get but few hours start at
the most before fire fighters would be
on hand to combat the blaze. Up the
Boise river he says, the men at work
on the Inter Mountain railroad, could
be put into service in case of need,
giving that section a good supply and
he also says recruits from Boise could
be obtained and rushed in a special
train to the Weiser reserve should
fire break out that could not be hand
led by the local force. He emphasized
the necessity of the forest service be-
ing in readiness to handle fires quick
ly in case OF need and wished to be able
to secure men on short notice to rush
to any point needed to extinguish fires.
Mr. Grandjean is keeping in close
touch with all forest rangers and
should a fire break out in any of the
reserves he will be notified by tele-
phone within a short time.
