JUNE RAINFALL
TWICE AVERAGE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN 10
YEARS FELL IN MAY, 1915
-RAINED I8 DAYS.

The daily weather report of
st. MichaePs monastery, located
a few miles from the city and
kept in a most accurate manner
by FIR. Jerome, reveals that the
precipitation for the present
month, up to the time of going to
press, was 5.14 inches, just
double the amount in rainfall for
the month of June over an aver
age period of 10 years. The
weather bureau at the monas-
terry has been functioning for the
past ten years and going back
over the records of the same re-
veals that the greatest amount
Of rain during this period fol-
any one month fell in May, 1915,
TOT inches.
The greatest amount of rain
during the present month fell on
the 1st and amounted to 1.39
inches. 1t rained on 18 days
during the month.
Father Jerome believes that
the rainfall on the prairie was
even greater than at the mon
astery.
The heavy rain during the
month has been of great benefit
to the country in general and OF
course in some cases it has also
been the cause of knocking down
some heavy grain. Pastures, fol
this time of the year are the best
ever, gardens have also beer
benefited. Crop prospects have
never been better on the prairie
and with favorable weather con-
ditions from now on a bumper
harvest is looked for. Alfalfa

est in the history of the country

farmers point to is that during
