Weather Review and a Prize Ear of Corn
Weather conditions show little change from normal temperatures with weekly rainfall uneven and variable across counties. Maximums ranged from 90 to 99 degrees, nights 65 to 71, showers daily in parts, and sunshine below normal in some southern counties.

In local notes, Geo Westmoreland’s ear of corn measured 11 inches long, 10 inches around, weighed 2 ounces, with 1000 grains, tied with a blue ribbon and a hint of pride saying Next.
