WEATHER AND CROP NOTES
One of the longest summer |
droughts of record was broken by |
light but fairly general rains on the |
2lst and END. Only few scattered |
showers had occurred during the |
first three weeks of the month. The I
monthly rainfall was from | TO l.2S
inches at few places in the central |
and western counties, but less than t
one inch over the greater part of the I
state, and at "a few places there was |
none AT all. For the state as a whole I
the rainfall was about normal. The /
day temperatures were quite high on
the |. 2nd, 18th and l4th. A severe
freeze occurred in the second decade /
with minimum temperatures ranging
from l6 to 81 In all but the extreme
southern districts. The mean tenn
perature for the section as whole
was nearly normal. The amount of
Sunshine received was considerably
above the average. On the whole the
weather was favorable for harvesting
operations.
September was very favorable for
harvesting small grains. .Thes outcome
OF the oats, wheat and barley harvest
was fnlly up to the promise of
month ago The preliminary fore
cast on production of grains as re-
leased this month may be revised
later If the final outcome of threshjng
justifies. The quality of the grain is
good throughout the state.
Potato digging is well under way
In most of the commercial sections.
The yield is proving very satisfacto-
ry. The quality. is excellent
General rains the last week in Sep
tember relieved the water situation
on the ranges, but came too late to
be OF material benefit to the forage.
Cattle and sheep are coming from the
summer ranges thinner than usual
