Seven degrees above zero on Friday
morning of last week is the minimum
temperature of this winter to date
This report is written at noon of the
last day of the year 1913. 1t has been
a year of extremes. Early last May
we had very good crop prospects and
few weeks later they were very
poor. We had four inches of rain in
three hours June 10 but it was too
late to save the wheat Beginning
July 20 and lasting until September
9, we had a very long, hot, dry and
bright season. every adjective in
that sentence should be emphasized. }
September brought more than the
usual rainfall for that month. Octo-
Der was dry and the latter part un-
usually warm, wet, foggy and cloudy.
| More emphasis.) In the two months
we have had 6.34 inches of precipita-
ton, mostly in the form of gentle
rain. 1.-THE same months in 1910 gave
us less than one-fourth inch-) The
rainfall and melted snow for this De-
cember, alone, is 5.22 inches. The
total precipitation for the year is
% 20 inches, which is more than two
inches above the average, and yet
our crops are very poor The present
prospect seems to be unusually good;
let us hope for a continued story
ending.
