II. r. ALClATOhE,
Meteorological in Charge

The ample rainfall in October put
the soil in excellent condition for
seeding and sprouting of fall grain,
and for blowing. The latter part OF
October was very open and favorable
for out door work and completion Of
harvest. Range conditions improved
during the month. Abundance OF
water is assured on the winter pas
lures.
The outcome of potato harvest was
better than condition reports month
ago indicated. The preliminary esti
mate of yield this year is 424,0GO
bushels more than last years crop
The quality OF the crop is above
average, of excellent market size, and
quite free from disease.

There was much cloudiness during
the first ten days, but the rest of the
month was fine, with quite a number
of pleasant afternoons. Barring a
few places in the eastern and south
ern counties. the mean temperature
was below normal.
Considering the state as whole,
the month was probably the wettest
October on record. The precipitation
was above the average in all water
sheds, and in some parts Of Nye,
Lander Eureka, Elko and White Pine
counties the fall was from three to
more than five hundred per cent of
the normal. Snow occurred much
earlier than usual, and in the central
districts was quite heavy.
