dry; nights cool, generally, with dews
Vegetation, with an exception or two
is fresh and green, not having that parch

but this appearance is deceptive, as rair
is greatly needed by or pastures, grain
and fruit, and unless soon given, must
result in very appreciable addition tC
the loss already sustained.
