Temperature and Eainfall for the Whole Country. 



From United States Wbather-Orop Bulletin. 



Week ending October 1. — Slightly cooler than usual in 

 the States of the lower Mississippi valley, on the south 

 Atlantic coast and in New England. Cooler than usual on 

 the Pacific coast and over central and northern plateau re- 

 gions. From Texas and New Mexico northward to the 

 upper Missouri valley, westward to the north Pacific coast 

 and thence eastward to the lower lakes and upper Ohio 

 valley, the week was warmer than usual. More than the 

 average amount of rain fell during the week from the upper 

 Missouri valley westward to the north Pacific coast and 

 thence southward over California ; also heavy local rain- 

 fall in south-central Kansas. The rainfall accompanying the 

 tropical hurricane of 25th-29th was very heavy along the 

 south Atlantic coast from Virginia southward ; elsewhere 

 the week was dry and almost without rainfall. Week very 

 favorable for securing crops and for fall seeding, which is 

 generally nearing completion. Winter wheat and pasturage 

 are also in excellent condition generally. Cotton picking 

 has in most sections progressed rapidly. Frosts occurred 

 as far south as Kentucky, but no serious injury has been 

 reported. 



New England Weather and Crops. 



Fkom United States Weather-Crop Bulletin. 



Week ending October 1. — Late crops of grass and grain 

 growing fast, stock in pastures gaining ; but much more 

 rain is necessary to fill ground and reservoirs for winter. 

 Harvesting mostly done, and most crops secured in prime 

 condition, of extra quality and good quantity.
