WARMTH
FAR OVER AVERAGE
Month Remarkable For High Temp
eratures-Rivers Reach Flood

The month of February was high
above the average in temperature,
according to the official weather re-
port for the month, and was slight
ly damp, all streams reaching the
flood stage, causing damage
amounting to $4,000. Other features
were pulled off about according to
Hoyle."
February was remarkably mild ON
the whole, the report says, and was
well up in the group Of warm winte,
months. During practically the en-
tire period between the 4th and 1s
the daily mean temperatures ranged
FIVE to % degrees above normal Pre-
cipitation averaged above normal
and was abundant in the Piedmont
sections, but unusully light in the
coastal plain generally.
Flowing Record
On account of sustained precipi.
tation upstate during the first half
Of the month, but little plowing
could be done in the central and up
per counties, but outdoor work pro-
gressed favorably on the coastal
plain. The mild weather was favor
able for the growth Of wheat, oats
and rye, which afforded some winter
pasturage. In the trucking districts
