1t commenced raining here at o'clock
Saturday afternoon, and continued till
about9 o'clock. 1t again rained on Sun
day, beginning about 2:3O in the after
noon, and continuing in good showers
until near midnight. The ground is
now thoroughly soaked. The wheat
was needing rain, though it could
scarcely be said to have suffered. 1t is
thought this rain will be sufficient to
guarantee good wheat crop. Many
farmers had been breaking prairie, but
had to quit because the ground was
too hard. Hundreds of acres will be
turned over before the week is out. A
good wheat crop this year will cause
the wheat acreage to nearly double
next year.
