A moderate deficiency in tem- perature and a very considerable deficiency in precipiation were noted. The mean temperature for the month, 55JB degrees, was 1 degree below the monthly normal. It was aonewhst cooler than the same -month in 1966 and 1937. but con- siderably wanner than May. 1905, when a mean temperature of oily 50.3 degrees was recorded. The coolest 'May of record at this point was that of 1917, with a mean tem- perature of 48.8 desreea. Tb« warmest was May, 1911, with a mean of 61.8 degrees. IMay, 1038, opened with prsctical- ly normal temperature prevailing and during the flrst week or 10 days there vere no very marked I warm or cool periods. On the whole, slightly warmer weather ' than normal prevailed. I The highest reading for the ' month, 76 degrees, occurred on May 31. This is unusually low for the maximum temperature for May at this point. In most years, the temperature goes above 80 at some time during the month, and not since 1925, when the monthly maximum was 74 degrees, has it been as low as during the month just closed. 1 The minimum temperature for May was 32 degrees, on the morn- ing of Miay 3, which is bv no mean? an unusual reading for May at the station. Precipitation was markedlv de- ficient. The tot.\l rwas 1.96 inch, or only about two-thirds of the nar- '\nal amount for May in this sec- |tion. Nearly half the total for the | entire month fell on May 20, when .9 inch was recorded. On all other dates, the amounts were small. The last week of the month was entire- ly rainless, and the flrst week very , nearly so. What precipitation oc- Cat Is Genuine Eye Specialist \Dr.\ Socrates, the feline physi- cian which Mrs. J. G.

Mrs. Barker had been blind in her left eye for two years following a tuberculosis attack until the cat playfully clawed the impaired organ one day. The fluid which had ob- scured vision drained from the orb, doctors treated it, and now Mrs. Barker can see perfectly * through both eyes.

While the lack of rain is not serious enough to be called a drought, as yet, still more rain would be of benefit at the present time. Light frosts were noted on May 4 andi 25. The flrst did no particu- lar damage, as litUe vegetation was in condition to be injured, but the latter caused some damage to ten- der vegetation, par ticularly toma- to plants. There were no thunderstorms during the month, which is some- what unusual for »May at this point. Only three other Mays since the station was opened, in July, 1906, have been entirely free from them.
