Under usual con- ditions we are quite safe in saying that there may be little danger to the crops on the higher lands surrounding the main floor of the valley. During the week included between April 10 and 17 of this year quite an unusual condition prevailed. Owing to the heav>' precipitation, followed b\ a rather cold wave, there was practi- cally no difference in the temperatures recorded on the valley floor and the surrounding higher ground. The mini- mum temperatures recorded on the mornings of April 11, 12 and 13 ranged between twenty-seven and one-half and thirty-one and one-half degrees throughout the district generally. In most cases these temperatures did not continue over a very long period of time and were not necessarily damag- ing. On the morning of the eleventh and twelfth very little firing was nec- essary, and even on the thirteenth there were only a few spots which required heating for a short time. The maximum daily temperatures for the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth, respectively, were fifty-seven, fifty-six, forty-seven and forty-eight degrees; therefore, there was very little insola- tion. However, the temperatures on the thirteenth and fourteenth rose to fifty-seven and sixty-seven degrees, respectively. On the mornings of the fourteenth and fifteenth the lowest temperature recorded at the govern- ment shelter was twenty-five degrees. This temperature was not the lowest observed in the valley, since some of the lowest spots gave temperatures from three to five degrees lower. The nights preceding the mor
