braska, Iowa and Missouri. There was also more than the 

 usual amount over portions of the middle and south Atlantic 

 States, Kentucky, Illinois and the lower Lake region. The 

 week was drier than usual over New England, the greater 

 portion of the middle Atlantic States, Ohio Valley, Gulf 

 States and throughout the upper Lake region. No rain fell 

 from the Rocky Mountain plateau region westward to the 

 Pacific coast. Early corn was much of it secured and late 

 corn did well. Cotton did not improve materially. The 

 bulk of the tobacco crop was secured in generally excellent 

 condition. 



Week ending September 19. — The week was warmer than 

 usual generally throughout the Rocky Mountain and Pacific 

 coast regions, over the central and northern districts from 

 the upper Missouri valley eastward to the New England and 

 middle Atlantic States, and over the greater portion of the 

 west Gulf States. It was decidedly warm over the middle 

 and northern plateau districts and in the regions of the great 

 Lakes. The week was cooler than usual over the middle and 

 southern Rocky Mountain slopes, where freezing tempera- 

 tures occurred, and in the eastern portions of Kansas, Ne- 

 braska, and western Arkansas. The week was practically 

 rainless over the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast regions, 

 and from the east Gulf States northward to eastern Penn- 

 sylvania, and there was less than the usual rainfall over the 

 greater part of the Lake region, upper Mississippi valley and 

 west Gulf States. There was more than the usual amount 

 of rain in the lower Ohio, central Mississippi, lower Missouri 

 and Red River valleys, and over areas in the Lake region 

 and Texas. The weather conditions were favorable for late 

 corn, there was a slight improvement in cotton, and late 

 tobacco did well. 



Week ending September 26. — The week was warmer than 

 usual throughout the country, with the exception of northern 

 New England and portions of California, where it was 

 slightly cooler than usual. From the northern and middle 

 Rocky Mountain regions eastward over the central valleys, 

 including the South Atlantic States, the week was decidedly 

 warm, the average daily temperature excess ranging from 6° 

 to 10°. The crop season closes with the temperature decid-
