 most respects. The weather was cool during the first few days 

 with a light frost on the 3rd, and a minimum temperature in the 

 shelter of 35 degrees. Frosts have been observed at as late a date 

 previously, and in 1891 a minimum temperature of 34 degrees 

 was recorded on the 5th. We had hot weather during the 

 middle of the month with a maximum of 92 degrees on the 18th.

 ture for the month was 67.1 degrees which is 3.4 degrees higher

 normal rainfall for June is 3.54 inches. As extremes might be 

 mentioned that in 1922 there was a total rainfall of 9.68 inches 

 in June. In 1908 only 76 inches fell. Very little rain fell dur- 

 ing the first two weeks of the month, with the result that crops 

 suffered somewhat but good rains in the last two weeks have 

 helped all crops. The rainfall during the months of April, May 

 and June of 1929 is 14.12 inches, while the normal rainfall for 

 that period is 10.44 inches. A heavy rain shower on the 24th 

 gave a total of 1.15 inches. Of this amount Yz inch fell in a per- 

 iod of five minutes. The shower was accompanied by a severe 

 electrical storm, Page laboratory being struck by lightning.

 days in 1922 and 4 days in 1908. The total wind movement for 

 the month was 3528 miles. The normal movement is 3584 for
