« The total precipitation for Septem-
ber was 4.59 inches, according to the
monthly tabulation of Supt. BueH of
the Experiment Farm, and in all the
month there were just fourteen clear
days, 14 being cloudy and mostly
rainy and two being partly cloudy.
The variation of the temperature was
from 106 plus down to 43, a range for
the month of 63 degrees. The maxi-
mum was registered on Sept. 5, just
before the rains began, and the mini-
mum of 43 on Sept. 21, when fires were
necessary and the mercury missed the
frost point by only 11 degrees. The
mean for the month was 73.7 degrees.
The average maximum was 84 degrees
and the average minimum 63.4.
There were twelve days of
month with the precipitation register-
ing more than .01 inch. There were
14 cloudy days, 2 partly cloudy days
and 14 clear days, most of them com-
ing the first part of the month. The
greatest precipitation registered in
one day was 1.56 inches. The
for the month was 4.59 inches.
The hydroscope registered the
est humidity of the month on
27, and the lowest on Sept. 5, the fig-
ures being 97 and 20 respectively with
an average for the month of 64.
The anemometer registered the pass-
age of 5,526.4 miles of wind during
the month, an average of 7.7 miles ah
hour. On Sept 23, Tuesday, the high-
est registration was reached with an
Average of 17.1 miles an hour. On
Sept. 5 the lowest was registered, 2.3
miles per hour, showing how the lack
of breeze added to the apparent mer-
cury registration, for that was the
hottest day of the month and caused
more complaint of excessive heat than
the maximum of 110, reached during
July. - ■ . I; ; .
