Weather and Crop Notes
One OF the longest summer
drouths OF record was broken by
light but fairly general rains on the
21st and 22nd Only few scattered
showers had occurred during the
first three weeks of the month. The
monthly rainfall was from l to 1.2S
inches at a few places in the central
one inch over the greater part of the
state, and at few places there was
none at all. Far the state as whole
the rainfall was about normal. The
day temperatures were quite high on
the LIST, End, 18th and 14th. A severe
freeze occurred in the second decade,
with minimum temperatures ranging
from 16o to go in all but the ex-
treme southern districts. The mean
temperature for the section as
whole was nearly normal. The
amount of sunshine received was con-
siderably above the average. On the
whole, the weather was favorable for
harvesting operations.

Meteorologist in Charge.
September was very favorable for
harvesting small grains. The outcome
of the oats, wheat and barley harvest
was fully up to the promise of a
month ago. The preliminary fore
casts on production of grains as re-
leased this month may be revised
later if the final outcome of thresh-
ing justifes. 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.
