The Central Office is located at Lansing with Voluntary Observers' stations in nearly all counties of the State. Observations relative to temperature, precipitation, wind and cloudiness are taken daily and a monthly report furnished the Director at the Central office for compilation and publication. Besides these, daily weather forecasts are telegraphed, telephoned or mailed to about 2,200 places in the State. The service publishes weekly during the planting, grow- ing and harvesting season a bulletin which gives in detail for each section of the State the conditions of the various crops as affected by the weather upon them. The State furnishes the instruments and publishes the reports, and the U. S. Weather Bureau furnishes all blanks, franked envelopes for trans- mitting the reports to the Central Office and the services of the Director. The service is conducted under the control of the State Board of Agricul- ture. C. F. Schneider, Section Director, is in charge. The following are the observing stations, arranged alphabetically by the counties in which they are situated :
