Wasniaroy, May 2. Following is the weather crop bulletin issued by the signal oftice, Washington City, Saturday, May 2, 1801 Pemperature ~The past week has been warm in the northern states, eastof the Rocky mountains, excent in northern New England, while about the normal temper ture has prevailed tbroughoat the southern states and on the Pacific coast. The excess of temperaturo bas been most marked in the nosthwest, where, over the spring wheat region, the daily temperature ranged from 5 degrees to 10 degrees wbovo the normal for the week. Avout the same excess of tomperature 18 reported from the middie Atlautic states. The tem verature for the season from January 1 to May 1 continues in excess throughout the northern states, and this excess is anpar on the iucrease in the principal grain grow- ing states. In the cotton region the thermul conditions for the seison are avout normal, the average daily temperature in that region differing less than 1= from that of previous years. Precipitation—The week was dry generally throughout the agricultural dis tricts, the only section reporting an excess of rainfall bewg Washingtor and northwost Oregon, portions of 1dabo and Moutana and enstern Florida. There was a total absence of rain gencrally throughout the gulf and middle Atlantic s upper lake region, tho central Mississippl valley and Cali forni The showers oceurred in New FEugland from the lowe lake region, southward to Boston and in Minnesota, fowa and the upper Missouri val ley. The rainfall for the season continues in excess over the ereater portion of the agri- cultural regions, notwithstanding the total absence of rain In muuy sections during the past week. There wus a large excess of mois- ure generally throughout the states west of the Mississippt aud generally from the east Gulf states northeastward to the St. Law- vence valley. In tho ceatral Mississipui val- ley the rainfull for the season geqerally ex- ceeds the point of the normal, while in hortn- ern Florida and ext southern portions of Louisiana there was tho usual amount. General remarks -The weather during the “uv. week has been specially favorable r all growing crops ihrcughout the grain regions of the northwest and the central val- leys, except sunshine and warm weather fav- ored farm work, and early sown wheat in Minnesota and Dakota i3 in excellent con- dition. The light frosts which occurred dur- ing the week in the central v s did not orove injurious. In the winter wheat region rom the Obio valley westward to Kansas and southward to Tennessee and Alabama all crops are revorted in excellent condition, wheat and grass grow id much corn planted, The wi cather has caused very rapid evaporation, and although there has been an excess of precipitation dur- ing the seasou the are many loc ties in the central valleys where additional rain would prove beneficial, and the in dications are that these rams will occur ¢ the early part of next week.
