REMARKS. 



The weather for September presented coneiderable variation in its 

 features, which taken altogether give a mean condition for the 

 month that may be called favorable. Some unpleasant periods how- 

 ever were noted. 



The month opened with a week of unusually hot and sultry 

 weather. This hot period culminated on the 7th in a thunderstorm 

 which was the most severe of the year. Shortly after noon the 

 thunder and lightning was very severe, the wind attained a velocity 

 of nearly 80 miles per hour and a number of trees were blown down. 

 Nearly an inch of rain fell in twenty minutes, together with some 

 little hail. The damage reported was comparatively little for such a 

 severe storm. Two other showers of less severity followed on the 

 same day. The next week gradually grew cooler ; the change from 

 the preceding week being particularly marked. The latter part of the 

 month was fair September weather. Two light frosts occurred but 

 not much damage was done. 



Most of the weather elements for the month were about normal 

 excepting the total wind movement which was less than 80 per cent, 

 of the usual amount. 



The weather was generally favorable for maturing crops. The 

 second cutting of hay was secured in good condition. Corn is har- 

 vested and a good yield reported. Potatoes are a light crop in this 

 section.
