A few words about climate. If a perfect climate is a mean be tween two extremes, and experts declare it is, then Medford has the perfect climate. Look at the two charts above Bhowing the range of temperature and the precipitation. From the standpoint of an artist in weather, could anything be more nearly perfect? No extreme cold snaps, no extreme hot spells, no cloud bursts, no floods, no parched Sahara weather. ;" V Unfortunately, the humidity is not charted but it should be noted that thanks to a' low humidity, 90 degrees in Medford is less oppres sive than 75 in the east and middlcwest. ' .-- The normal maximum ranges from 45.6 to 90.5 and the normal minimum from 30.2 (just below freezing) to 52.6. The normal aver age temperature ranges from 37.9 to 71.5. A climate like that for health and general well being could scarcely be surpassed. Now as to rainfall. There is art unfortunate impression outside of Oregon that Oregon is a cross between a frog pond and a London log. It, may ibe udnuttcd that along the Oregon coast it rains a great ileal, in some places over 100 inches annually. But look at Medford 's rainfall n normal average of 1&59 inches I . San Francisco with its glorious California climate, has an average rainfall of 22 inches annually, nearly 4 inches greater. Moreover, during the spring, summer and early fall months, when the average person is most anxious to enjoy the out-of-doorsthere is practically continual sunshine in the Rogue River valley. Finally, these 'charts are-not booster literature. They are based upon official reports of the TJ. S. Weather Bureau, the final word in climatic data. In this connection it may be noted in addition to the best trout fishing in the world and wild game hunting that can not be excelled, Medford will have in 1924 one of the best golf courses on the coast, laid out by a Medford rancher, II. Chandler Egan, former national amateur golf champion and present golf champion of rthe Pacific Coast. . I aSfSSF Perfect weather, unequalled out-door sports I As a place to not only live, but enjoy life, Medford and the Rogue River valley can't be surpassed. loon rrm wn tuh tum K C. WDl.Cll.
