REMARKS 



The weather during June was in reverse seasonal order. The 

 first seven days were warm and clear, with a mean temperature for 

 the week of 70.6 degrees as compared to the normal of 62.4 degrees 

 for that week. This period was followed by several days with 

 nearly normal temperatures but with many showers, the month 

 closing with a ten-day period of some of the coldest weather on 

 record for this time of the year. 



The mean temp'erature for the month was 64.6 degrees, the 

 normal for June being 65.7 degrees. The highest temperature was 

 89 on the 4th and 5th; and the lowest 39 on the 22nd, which is an 

 unusually low reading for the last part of June. The precipitation 

 totaled 2.46 inches, compared with the normal of 3.75 inches for 

 June. Rain was recorded every day from the 24th to the 30th. The 

 total precipitation from January 1 to June 30 is now 25.43 inches, 

 while the normal for this period is 21.20 inches. There were 261 

 hours of sunshine, the normal for June being 257 hours. The total 

 wind movement was 3894 miles, which is 309 miles greater than the 

 normal for June. 



Dr. J. K. Shaw of the Pomology Department reports: "While 

 the precipitation during June was below normal, there were no 

 dry periods sufficient to noticeably check the growth of vegetation. 

 There were several rainy periods favorable for apple scab infection, 

 and on trees not well sprayed much scab developed. The straw- 

 berry harvesting season was at its peak at the end of the month 

 when frequent showers favored good size of berries but caused some 

 decay. In spite of much unfavorable weather during apple bloom, 

 there was a satisfactory set of fruit and there is promise of a good 

 crop though less than last year."
