REMARKS. 



The weather for July has been characterized by the largest rain- 

 fall ever recorcU-d at this station for a single month, the precipit- 

 ation of 14.51 inches being about one-third of the average annual 

 rainfall. On the 13th also the greatest daily rainfall ever observed 

 here was recorded. 



Harvesting has progressed with difficulty and much of the hay 

 crop has been injured. 



The excess of moisture has injured the tobacco crop and is also 

 causing potatoes to rot upon low ground. 



Corn is very backward and is tasselling low. 



The continued damp weather has been very favorable for blights 

 especially on plums and grapes.
