the southern States and New England received no appre- 

 ciable amount, and there was a marked deficiency in the 

 northern portion of the middle Atlantic States, portions of 

 the Lake region, central Mississippi and lower Missouri val- 

 leys. In New England, New Jersey, New Mexico and over 

 the greater part of the southern States drought generally 

 prevailed. In the principal corn States the conditions were 

 more favorable than in the preceding week. Harvesting 

 winter wheat was quite generally in progress in the southern 

 States, and oat harvest continued with light yields. 



Week ending June 12. — The week was cooler than usual 

 along the immediate coast of California, in Washington, and 

 in Idaho and northern Nevada eastward to and including the 

 Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. The week was 

 warmer than usual throughout the Mississippi valley and in 

 all districts to the eastward, and was exceptionally warm 

 over the middle Atlantic States, southern New England, por- 

 tions of California, the Lake region, Ohio valley and south 

 Atlantic States. Very heavy rains fell in the lower Missouri 

 and Ohio valleys, over portions of the upper Mississippi and 

 Red River valleys and on the central Gulf coast. Less than 

 the usual amount fell in New England, over the greater part 

 of the Lake region, and over portions of the southern States. 

 The seasonal rainfall from March 1 to date was much below 

 the average in New England. Rains in the southern States 

 largely relieved the drought, but it still continued in New 

 England, and portions of New Jersey, Nebraska, Colorado 

 and New Mexico. In the central valleys corn made good 

 growth. Winter wheat was being harvested as far north as 

 the Ohio and central Mississippi valleys, but the reports as 

 to spring wheat were less favorable than in the previous 

 week. Haying was in general progress in the central val- 

 leys, the middle Atlantic States, Oregon and California. 



Week ending June 19. — The week averaged slightly 

 warmer than usual over portions of the Lake region, New 

 England and middle Atlantic States and on the east Gulf 

 coast. The week was decidedly warm over the western por- 

 tion of the plateau region and in Washington, Oregon and 

 California. Generally throughout the central valleys and 

 Gulf States the week averaged cooler than usual. Portions
