Temperature and Rainfall for the Whole Country. 



Week ending June 27. — The week averaged slightly 

 cooler than usual on the Atlantic coast from the Carolinas 

 northward to southern New England, in the Ohio valley, 

 over the greater part of the Lake region, and from Montana 

 westward to the north Pacific coast. Elsewhere the week 

 generally averaged warmer than usual, the excess in South 

 Dakota and northern Kansas amounting to from 6° to 8° per 

 day. The greater part of the country received less than the 

 average amount of rain. More than the usual amount fell, 

 however, in portions of the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio 

 valleys and over the most of the Lake region. Very little 

 rain fell in New England, the middle Atlantic States, over 

 the greater portion of the Gulf States and the Eastern Rocky 

 Mountain slope. Upon the whole the general weather con- 

 ditions of the week were favorable to agricultural interests. 



Week ending July 4. — The week was cooler than usual 

 in the east Gulf States, the southern portions of Oklahoma 

 and New Mexico, and from the north Pacific coast eastward 

 to Lake Superior'. In the lower Missouri valley, and gener- 

 ally in all districts east of the Mississippi, the week was 

 warmer than usual, the daily excess ranging from 3° to 8°. 

 Very hot weather prevailed on July 2 and 3 in the Atlantic 

 coast districts. There was more than the usual amount of 

 rain over the greater part of the west Gulf States and New 

 Mexico, and portions of the Northern Mississippi and INIis- 

 souri valleys. In the States of the Middle Rocky Mountain 

 slope, Missouri, central Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys, 

 the lower Lake region, and generally throughout the Atlantic 

 coast districts there was less than the usual amount of rain. 

 The week, being hot and dry, was generally favorable to 

 farm operations.
