The DRoUGHT.-NeVer before has this
section of the country, at this season of the
year. been visited by so severe drought.
The country is literally parched up and
crops of all kinds are suffering greatly
Oats and spring wheat will not yield more
than half crop, and unless rain comes
soon there cannot be much corn raised
Advices from all sections of the country
show that the drought is not confined to
any particular locality, but is general.
