Climate.
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.

Seasonal Snow Fall.
The above chart shows that Medford' has a seasonal average of 9.17
inches of snow, winch will be a great surprise to many residents of
the city, for snow is seldom seen, except on the peaks of the Siskiyous
or the peaks of the Cascade or Coast ranges far in the distance, The
fact is, however sopie snow falls during the "winti'f mqrffliyEiit usually
disappears at once, becuuse of the relatively high average temper-
