WEATHER IN MARCH
Month Was Ideal for Crops, S. ID.
Flora Says in Kansas Review.

March, 1919, was as nearly ideal for
crops as this month ever is. as shown
by summary of the daily reports of
LBS stations of the weather bureau
that cover conditions in every county.
There was an abundance of moisture
in all parts of the state and the
weather, while less sunshiny than usu-
al, was mild enough for wheat to
make a splendid growth, but not warm
enough to force vegetation ahead of
the season.
The monthly mean temperature was
A degrees, which is 1 degree above
normal and degrees lower than
March last year. No unusual ex-
tremes of temperature occurred. the
highest reported being "a degrees at
Lakin on the 18th and the lowest 2
degrees at Quenemo and Valley Falls
on the LIST, which is the ninth time in
thirtytwo years that March has
passed without zero temperature in
the state.
The average precipitation Grain and
melted snow and sleet) over the east
ern third of the state was 2.40 inches;
the middle third. 2.01 inches: the
western third. 1.24 inches; and for the
entire state, 1.91 inches. or 0.52 inch
above normal. A large per cent >of
this fell in great downpour in the
lower Smoky Hill and Kansas river
valleys on the 15-16th that Melted
from three to six inches at a large
NUMBER OF stations and caused wide
spread floods and washouts. The
beast precipitation was in the north
west quarter of the state, which re-
,ceived less than an inch, but the
ground was so wet when the month
began there was no shortage of mois-
ture anywhere. The heaviest amount
reported at any one station was 7.15
inches at Chapman and the least 0.33
at Hays. Snow fell extensively on the
6-7th, totaling as much as three to
six inches in places, but it soon melt
ed. In the western third the snow
that had lain on the ground since al
most the beginning of winter disap-
peared the fore part of the month,
leaving the soil in fine shape.
Wheat made a growth that was en-
tirely satisfactory and covered the
ground completely in the eastern half
sand in many localities in the western.
No particular damage from insects or
other pests was reported. Farm work
was delayed until the closing week by
fields being too wet, but it was pushed
rapidly as soon as the ground dried
and by the close of the month the bulk
of the oats crop was sown and in the
southern portion it was coming up.
In the central and western counties a
great deal of barley was sown. Plant
ing potatoes and early gardens was in
full swing. Apricots and ~plums
bloomed in the southern part.
