REMARKS. 



The weather for the month has been unusually clear and dry. On 

 but two days has rain been observed, and on one of those but a 

 trace was recorded. The total precipitation of 0.73 inches on the 

 12th is only about one-sixth of the average for October. While the 

 weather was threatening at other times and rain fell in other patts of 

 the state, this station escaped with an overcast sky. The heavy 

 rains of the summer have been more than offset by the September 

 and October weather and the ground is very dry. A considerable 

 rainfall is needed before cold weather sots in. 



The temperature for the month has been slightly above the aver- 

 age and the mean daily range unusually high. 



The large percentage of sunshine has given us a highly colored 

 foliage during the month and beautiful tints have been unusually 

 noticeable. 



The weather has been favorable for most of the farm work of the 

 season except plowing.
