REMARKS 



The month was quite normal with regard to temperature and 

 other conditions except precipitation. The mean figures over the 

 period of observation indicate a 4.10 inches precipitation expected 

 for the month with but 2.83 inches recorded; of which 1.23 inches fell 

 on the 18th. While this storm was appreciated, it did not offset the 

 development of drouthy conditions which slowed the growth of to- 

 bacco and made it unnecessary to mow lawns which were not sprinkled. 



Even though a mean daily temperature of 59.5 degrees was re- 

 corded on the 20th, no heating load is considered in this locality to 

 accumulate during July and August under conditions which are near 

 the mean values.
