WEATHER REPORT
FOR WEEK ISSUED

The weekly report of weather and
crop conditions in Florida was issued
yesterday. 1t follows:
Temperature. The week averaged
much warmer than usual for the period
the temperature being degrees to 8
degrees above normal. Maxima were
generally well up In the COS. The
last two days, however, were compar-
atively cold, and frost occurred in the
extreme northwest on the 1.
Precipitation. The week, like the
previous one, continued mostly dry,
the only rainfall of moment occurring
in the northern counties and in portions
of the southern division. All high
lands need rain, and even low lands
in the north and central counties need
moisture.
Condition of crops. The weather
during most of the week was unfavor-
able for truck and citrus fruits. Tenn
peratures were too high, and rain was
needed not only for growing crops. but
to improve the condition of the soil.
In some sections oats and rye have
been delayed in growth, and late plant
ings are not terminating; some plant
ing is yet to be done. Citrus fruit is
smaller than usual and dropping
continues in some localities, as a re-
suit of dry weather. Celery, cabbage,
lettuce, and other truck have made
poor progress, and some reports in
dictate that truck is generally poor in
the Okeechobee section; tomato plants,
for instance. are large, but fruiting is
unsatisfactory. Moderate shipments
continue from the south. The cool
weather of the last few days of the
week benefited all truck crops in the
north, and added life to man and beast.
