FEBRUARY WAS MILD
One of Most Sunshiny Months ON
Record in Topeka.

February. 1918. was one of the
mildest and most sunshiny months
that Topeka has ever experienced at
this time of the year, which is genef-
ally noted for its disagreeable wealth
er. According to the summary of
conditions completed at the Weather
Bureau Office the temperature aver
aged degrees above normal, in con-
trast with that of January preceding,
which averaged 8 degrees below nor
NAL. High temperature records for
individual days were broken on seven
dates, while the maximum of IS de-
grees on the oath tied the previous
high mark for February. There was
but one cold wave and zero tempera-
lures prevailed on only three days, in
contrast with nine days of zero wealth
er in January preceding and seven
days in December
peka has enjoyed in any other month
since last September, with IT clear
days, which ties the previous record
for February. The average wind We
1ocity was, with one exception, the
highest on record for February and
ago. Winds of 25 miles an hour or
more blew on 10 days and exceeded
40 miles in two days, the 14th and
25th.
The long drought was effectually
ended by 1.2O inches of rainfall on
ground in fine style and came in time
to prevent any material damage to
winter wheat which had been in a
critical condition for three months
past on account of lack of moisture.
