As of the end of May, reservoirs on small properties were close to control levels and it was feared that there would not be sufficient water for reflows to protect against late frosts. Temperatures in May averaged about 9 degrees above normal, one of the warmest Mays on record. Growing degree days at the end of May were averaging 86 percent greater than normal. Development of crops was about 2-1/2 weeks ahead of last year and 3 weeks more advanced than usual. Where moisture was more adequate during May, crops grew at a phenomenal rate. Rainfall during May averaged around an inch below the normal ol inches for the month. The distribution of rain during May was very spotty, being more typical of that for a mid-summer month like July. Warm, humid conditions in the second half of May caused sporadic thundershower activity, resulting in some locally heavy rains but bringing only light amounts to other areas. Good rains fell at the end of May, with heaviest amounts of up to 2 inches in the northwest, west central, and east central areas. More rainfall occurred on the first week- end of June, with the southeast receiving the greatest amount. Showers and thunderstorms have continued in the second week of June. These rains in late May and early June have boosted develop- ment of crops and encouraged farmers to be more optimistic about the 1977 crop season. Prior CO the weekend rains of June 4-5, soil moisture supplies had been rated as 50 percent short and 50 percent adequ
