REMARKS 



The weather during June was very nearly normal in most respects. The 

 month generally was considered dry, but apparently there were a number of 

 local showers which gave more rain at the weather observatory than at nearby 

 points. The total rainfall for the month was 3.21 inches which is .30 less than 

 normal. This rain fell on 12 days. In addition, there were traces of rain with 

 a fall of less than .01 inch on 6 additional days. The total rainfall since January 

 1 is now 20.24 inches; the normal for this period is 20.96 inches. The mean 

 temperature for the month was 66.7 degrees which is one degree higher than 

 normal. The highest temperature was 90 degrees on the 11th and the lowest, 

 42 degrees on the 7th. The domestic heating load for the month was 40 degree- 

 days, compared to a normal of 69 degree-days. The total heating load for the 

 season was 6521 degree-days and the normal, 6812 degree-days. 



There was a heavy windstorm on the 17th, with considerable damage to 

 trees. The maximum velocity recorded was 48 miles an hour. There were 254 

 hours of bright sunshine which is 3 hours less than normal. 



Dr. J. K. Shaw reports that "all fruit plants made normal progress during 

 June. Tree fruits have set fair to good crops. Strawberries produced fair to 

 good crops but raspberries and blackberries will be light due to winter injury 

 to the canes. Rainfall has been rather short but timely showers have thus far 

 prevented real injury to fruit crops. Scab control on Mcintosh apple trees has 

 not been as difficult as last j'ear because of fewer humid periods, and thorough 

 and timely spraying has been effective in control of the disease."
