The first twenty days of June have been moist and warm, but not hot. The 

 last decade of May brought but little rain. There have been eight thunder storms 

 at this station in the period of this report, but no wind of great violence. As 

 usual at this season southerly winds have prevailed. At the date closing this re- 

 port, June 20th, corn is making Very rapid growth and recovering from the re- 

 tarding effects of cool weather and late planting. The northeastern part of the 

 state is more backward in its corn crop than other parts, but wet weather has 

 been general throughout the Kansas.
