Tho letting of a' contract by Secre

firm for a largo quantity of nrmour

that official's head a storm of pro

The contract price mndo with tho
' English munitions concerns was so
( faT below the estimates submitted by
, Atwrloan manufacturers, thnt tho
navy doiinrtmcnt sent tho order to
the foreigner as a lesson to home

Appeals to the patriotism of the homo
mnnnfacturars were without avail,
. and as a last resort contracts were
awarded to foreigners. It Is certain

contracts imiBt lie sent to firms In

Americans aro busy filling orders
from European nations. It Is Utile

The average temperature for the
year of 1916 was C2.5 or .4 below
tho normal for 39 years record, and
tho total precipitation from rain and
snow for the year was 33.4 5 Inches
or .32 below the average of 39 years
record.
Tbe months above the normal tem
poraturo were February, March,
April, Juno, August and September.
There were 47 days with a minimum
of 32 degrees or below or 12 days
above tho average 39 years record,
and 13 days with a maximum of 90
or two days above the average.
January recorded the lowest mean
tomDoraturo, and also an excessive
fall of snow, 20.8 inches funmelted)
fell rii'Wnt? tho month. February was
decidedly warmer with no snow;
March was not quite so warm, al
though tho temperature was slight
ly above tho normal with a little
sinow In the fore part of the month.
Tho lowest temperature during the
year was 3 8 degrees above, which
occurred on the 13th of November,
and the highest recorded was 101
degrees, which occurred on August
24.
Tho longest period .without rain
during the mowing season (days of
.01 Inch being omitted) was from
July 17 to August 16 inclusive, mak
ing 31 days. Longest period with
precipitation was from January 4 to
February 11 Inclusive or 23 days, al
though the rainy days were frequent
ly Interspersed with sunshine.
The unprecedented heavy rain In
July occurred mostly on the 15th
and 16th with the exception of .51
Inches failing on the 1st of the
month. However this gave abundant
moisture for all growing crops, espe- i
cfally to com, potatoes and fruit.!
This was followed by a long dry
spell which continued to the latter!
part of October, with only light1
showers intervening. During this
livtter period the weather was idea!
for the orehardists in picking and
shipping their heavy yield of fruit. ;
Owing to tho dryness- during the
f nil months, the soil was unfavor-.
ably for plowing and fall seeding, nl-;
though considerable work of this
class was accomplished during the
su'veodfng two months. r
The last VHltng frost In spring oc-
curred April 12, and the earliest;
killing frost October 4, making 175 i
days of growing weather for the sen-1
son, which Is 73 per cent of the grow
ing season for the 39 years record.
With the exception of the year 190R,
this has been the shortest growing
season on rvnrd.
