RANDOLPH - Randolph, along with the rest of northeast Nebraska, sweltered in a July heat wave the last week, that saw temperatures of 99, 97, 94 recorded by the official weather bureau at Norfolk.
After several days of cool weather, warmer weather began to move into this territory and by the last day of June, above 90 degree weather had arrived.
On Saturday, the mercury registered 99 with strong hot winds that reached a velocity of 30 miles an hour. The strong wind accompanying the terrific heat was very detrimental to crops and dried up much badly needed top, soil moisture.
The weekly weather and crop report stated temperatures averaged near or slightly above normal. Corn made remarkable progress during the last week due to the high temperatures and favorable moisture conditions. While much of the crop is late, some of it is about normal in development for this date. Stands are below average.
Hay crops are promising, the bulletin stated.
The second crop of alfalfa will be heavy. Oats and barley have improved, but yields will be below average due to the spring drouth. Pastures are good except where they have been overgrazed.
In the precipitation chart issued by the state for the period April 1 to July 1, a total of 8.81 inches had been received in the eastern division, but the normal amount is 11.09 inches.
