March, l f t l l , wzs in some respects siniilar to hfarch, 1910, but the points of similarity were not, as well marked or tis estreme as those of last 'year. Tlie temperature WAS above nncl the precipitation below the nornial ; the iiniount of snowfall N ~S less t.lian usual ancl there wits nn escess of sunshine, ancl as a whole the Inst nionth was escept that tlie ~i n d niovenient was above the ttvera e nornial than they were in the same month last Reports from all parts of the upper hississippi d?g show that the wenther was favorable for all kinds of out- door o erations; and, while the teniperntiire was con- especially during the last decide, to ret!tnrtl the grnwt,h of vegetat,ion and prevent the clevelopnient of fruit buds except in the estrenie southern portion of the district. As a result,the fruit cropis in less claiiper of injui.;v by cold weather thitt may possibly come within the next few weeks than it wcts a t tlie close of arch, 1 ~~1 0 , wlien sev- eral kinds of fruit trees were in full blooni t i s fnr north as northern Iown. The snow that, was on the grountl in the northern section of tlie district itt the end of Febiriitry melted grnduitlly, m c l most of the moisture tlirrefroiii WBS :kbsorbecl by the soil. A t the end of the niont.li t,he ground wtis in escellent condition in all-sections, am! much farm work in the way of plowing, seecling snitdl p i n , nntl preparing ground for corn had been clone. very pleasitnt and devoid of any market t characberist,ics, for March. In fmt, tlie conditions were much nearer t B ie sitlerab F y above the nornial, it was sufficiently low, TEMPERATURE. The teiiiperuture was above the nornial in it11 p r t s of the up )er iviississi )pi Vdley, except over t'lie sniitll por- the several States being as follows: North Dakota, 29'; Minnesota, 33.S'; South Dakota, 34'; Wisconsin, 33.5'; Iowa, 39.3'; hiissouri, 44.4'; Indiana,37.5"; nntl Illinois, 41.1°, and the average departure ranged from - 1.6" in Inditina to +s.7O in North Dakota. The escess of tem- perature was considerably greater in the northern than it w m in the southern sections of the district.. Oyer North Dakota and the estreme northern portions of hiin- nesota and Wisconsin the first decade was the coldest and the lowest temperatures, which ranged from - 16' t.0 -%!io, were generplly rec,ordecl on the 4t,h. In the central and southern sections the coltlest periocl WBS from the 15t.h to the lSth, and the lowest teni1)eraturees were recorded :it niost stations on the 16th. The higliest, temperatures were recorded on the 20th or Zlst, escept in Missouri and Illinois where they occurred on tlie 11 th. Temperatures of zero or below were confined to North Dakota and the tion of !t nclianti w i t 5 iin this district, bhe monthly iiieans for northern ancl central port>ions of Minnesotit ~n d W'is- consin. The monthly mean temperature for the district, as shown by the rwords of 290 stations, is 36.3', which is 4.9' above tlie normal. The highest iiionthly niean was 50.3', at C'siro, Ill., and the lowest, 20°, a t Penibina, N. Dak. Tlie highest temperature was S6', at C'airo and C'obden, Ill., and Warrenton, KO., on the l l t h , and the loaest -25', at Angus, Btigley, and Roseau, liinn., on the 4th. PRECIPITATION. The 1)recipitation was below the nornial in all sections, and t t t tdl but 14 stations in the clistrict. There were 2 stations in hinnesota, 5 in Wisconsin, 3 in Iowa! 2 in hiissouri, and 2 in Illinois that reported amounts above tlie nornid, but the escess in each case was small, escept tit Fort Maclison, Iowa, uhere 4.S4 inches fell, which is 2.0s inches above tlie nornial. The average amounts, with the departure from the normal for $lie various States, are as follows: North Dakota, 0.16 inch, -0.70 inch; hiinnesota, 0.58, -0.68; South Dnkotti, 0.37, -0.88; Wisconsin, 1.15, -0.74; Iowa, 1.02, -0.99; A.issouri, 2.1& -0.34: Indiitna, 1.84, -1.62; Illinois, 1.64, - 1.25 inclies. Froni northern Iom n nortlin ard over l.innesota nncl the Dnkotcs there H as practically no precipitation unt>il the 36th of the month, but over the eastern ancl southern p r t s of the district t,here was tt more eciuitable distribution as to time, more or less precipitation being recorded from the 5th to Sth, llt.h, lZth, and 21st to the 2Pd. Froin the 26th to t.lie close of the rn0nt.h the prr- cipitittion was quite generd in a11 sections. C'ver the sou them sections most of the precipitation wu.s in t,he form of rain, but in the Northern btates it was about e:!ually divided beta-een rain and snow. The average precipitation for the district, n.s shoan bv t,he records of 306 stations, is 1 inch, a hich is 0.93 inch below tlie nornial. The greatest amount,, 4.S4 inches, occurred at Fort Maclison, Iowa, and none occurred at Hansboro and Park River, N. Dak. Tlie gretitest nniount in 24* consecut,ive hours, 2 inches, occurred at Fort hiadison, Iowa. The average depth of unmelt,etl snow fall wits 2.4 inches. The averitges for the several Ststres or pi$" of States within the tlist,rict were as fdloas: North nkota, 1.3 inches; Minnesota, 2.5 inches; South Dakota, 0.5 inch ; Wisconsin, 4.S inclies ; Iowa, 1.2 inches ; Kissouri, 1 .5 inches; Indiiinn, 3.3 inches; nncl Illinois, 1.6 inches.

At the close of the month the rivers were 2111 cletir of ice esc.ept in the northern part of the district, nncl they Mr. J . H. Spencer, local forecaster, Weather B ~r e ~i , at Dubuque, Iowa, reports: A t the close of the month the Mississippi River waa free of ice above La Crosse, Wis. It waa open a t Dubuque during the entire month, and opened a t Prairie d u Chien, Wis., on the 11th. The Wisconsin was open at Muscoda, [Vis., during the ent,ire month; at, Grand Rapidrr, Wis., after the St,h; while a t Wausau, \Tis., it wm frozen during t.he entire month. The upper Mitwissippi River continued low for the season, ranging a t Dubuque from 1.6 to 4.3 feet. I t was lower a t the close of the month than at the beginning. The \Visconsin River rose steadily durin the month, owing to melting snows; at, Grand Rapids, \Vis., i t rangeffrom 1.4 feet on the 9th to about 4.2 feet during t.he last week. Dr. Luke Roberts, cooperative ani1 river observer a t Clinton, Iowa, writes: The huge ice pack which broke away froni t.he bridge pier8 a t 5.15 p. m., hlarch 3, practically cleared t.he river so t.hat, boats could again move safely. The first boat to appear at, the wharf wa.9 the Mwy Bt-llt., from Albany, Ill., at 9 a. ni., March 10. The Evlipst. t.ouched this port, on her way u the river, about one hour later than the arriva.1 of the Mary Bel&. !he drtsaicts Gaffs left her winter quart.ers in the Bearer Slough on the 14th. The highest. stage of t.he Mississip i River at Clinton during the month was 3.3 feet; on t,he 1st.. The iowest stage wa8 1.9 feet, on the Yst, and t,he mean st.age 2.4 feet, which is the lowest mean for March for many years. The normal stage for March is 5.7 feet,, or 3.9 feet above that'of March, 1911. The Mississippi River at Davenport reniains unusually low, the stage on the 31st being but 2.4 feet. were a.11 low for the season. Navi opened on t,he Mississippi as far north ns C!linton, DRAINAGE AND ENGINEERING NOTES. The United States Army engineer having charge of the Des Moines River survey reports the following work done during Ma.rch: Twenty-five per cent of the contours were drawn and inked, making this part of the work 97 per cent coniplet.e, and the tracings were 14 per cent completed. An estimate of the cost of providing clearance at the $2 bridges crossing the Des Moines River was made. Ihrinp April contours will be complet.ed and work will he in progress on tracings, estimates, and report..

The gaging stations are all of the standard current- meter type, which was described in the article published in the Monthly Weather Review for March, 1910, entitled "Tlie Work of the Water Resources Branch of the United States Geologic.al Survey in the Ohio R.iver Valley," by h h . A. H. Horton. Although all of the above stations have been main- tained for a shorter period than two years (with a few escept,ions] the low-water records already obtained may be considered very nearly the absolute minimum dis- charge on account of the esceedingly dry weather in the latter half of 1910. 372 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW.

It was not the intention t o ma?& final detailed surveys, hut. ta obtain siich informatdon ns would indicate their most prominentm physical feat,ures, leaving the detailed surveys to be made by those interested in the various projects. The river surveys were commenced in September, 1009, and carried on without interruption until June, 1910, there being two parties constantly in the field. As n result of this work, the following surveys were made: River. I Limits of survey. Distance In miles. vations. By tying to standard Government bench marks on iiiost of the surveys all elevations were referred to mean sea level. DEVELOPED WATER POWER. The third line, of investligatlion crtrried on was a census A larr of the developed wat.er powers of the State. iiiajority of t,lie wat,er.power plants, including all of t e larger ones, were visited and information obtained froni the owner or operetor re d i n g head, turbine installation, average power rievelope%, sufficiency of water supply, ani1 kindred subjects. The information regarding the remain- ing plants was obtained by correspondence.
