Weather Bureau EVERY week the United States weather bureau issues an illuminating sheet called the “Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin.” This is published chiefly for agricultural interests, but it contains much of general value. There is a summary of the week’s weather, with a statement of out-

wjm

standing abnormalities, particularly of temperature and rainfall over appreciable areas. Paragraphs about weather in Argentina, England, India and Australia are added. The special telegraphic summaries from the several states or sections of the weather bureau show the details of the week’s weather and its effects on crops and farming opera-j tions. A table gives the week’s rainfall and temperature and the departure from normal for 150 stations, and two maps show the temperature departures and the actualj amount of rainfall. The temperature map is a peculiar one. Shaded portions indicate regions warmer than normal, and unshaded regions cooler than normal, while the lines on the map indicate the extent of the departure; e. g., 3, 6 or 9 degrees plus or minus. Hence the region having the high-1 est figures is not likely to be warmest, nor is that with the lowest figures necessarily the coldest, I

Work—Many Are Vital. In the preparation of this bulletin, officials in charge at designated central weather bureau stations in each state collect information weekly from many special and co-operative meteorological observers and from a large number of weather and crop correspondents in the respective states relative to prevailing weather conditions and their effect on farming operations and crop development. The officials make weekly telegraphic reports to the central weather bureau office at Washington, where the information is tabulated and summarized and a synopsis issued for the entire country. This is released each Wednesday at 10 a. m. and is published in the ‘‘Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin” above described. In addition there is published a local weather and crop summary at each state center containing information in more detail as to con-
