REMARKS. 



The conditions which prevailed during last month have continued 

 for the most part through the whole of this and as a result the sea- 

 son has been more than usually pleasant. Storms of wind and rain 

 have been infrequent and none of any severity have been noted. 



The small precipitation has been the most marked feature of the 

 month following as it did the small rainfall of April. The total for 

 the month was less than a third of the usual amount and the smallest 

 for the period on record here. 



The mean barometric pressure was slightly above the normal and 

 the range unusually small. The wind movement was about ten per 

 cent below the average and the maximum velocity low. Changes of 

 direction were rather frequent. 



The mean temperature was nearly normal although the maximum 

 and minimum for the month were both rather high. The relative 

 humidity was above the normal. The usual amount of cloudiness 

 was observed. 



The first two weeks were warm and generally clear. The third 

 week cooler and more cloudy weather prevailed. The last part of 

 the month grew warmer, the maximum temperature however not 

 equaling that of the first. 



The progress of the season is fully up to the average although the 

 results of the dry weather are apparent. Grass shows most plainly 

 the lack of rain and promises to be a light crop. Heavy rains would 

 still greatly improve it and materially help other growing crops. 



The spring work on the roads is generally over and they are in 

 good condition in this vicinity.
