DROUGHT TIMES IN MISSOURI.
A Pioneer Tells of some Dry Years
I'm Jasper County In Early
Times.

"spealing Of dry weather." said
Judge onstott, the Jasper county pio-
neer, 20 the editor Of the Carthage
Press, says a special correspondent
OF the Chicago Inter Ocean, 81 don't
think YOU chaps have any cause to
howl about the lack of rain this year.
"Why, in 1856, IL was so dry that
most farmers could not raise a peck
of corn 20 a thousand acres. There
has been more or less Of a drought
during some portions Of nearly every
year since came here in 1888. That's
true of every locality. I don't re-
member about all the droughts here,
not even all the severe ones, sup
pose, though I do remember some
mighty bad ones.
about the worst drought remem-
Der was in 1885, when my father was
raising his second crop in this coun-
try. There was not drop Of rain
from the 10th of June 10 the 10th %
Oetoberi yet we raised good crops,
because the corn had a good start
in the spring and was well tasseled
out before the drought commenced.
Our farm was in the rich river bot
tom and we got ~ bushels Of corn
and two wagon-loads Of pumpkins
TO the acre that fall. We got some
of the Indians TO help gather the
corn. An Indian's wages were all
the pumpkins his squaw could carry
away in one load. remember one
old squaw came for her pumpkins
and piled up all she could tie up the
corners Of her blanket over. She
was only 100 or 200 yards from the
fence. She managed 70 waddle Ia
the fence and over il with her load
That gave her the pumpkins. Then
she dropped the bundle and made
two loads Of IL. We had no ther'
mometers IN those early days te
measure the heat by, but / remember
that IL was something awful that
summer OF 1888, and people talked oi
IL for years afterward. The prairie
grass was high and the prairie fire.
would have been tremendous at th'
height Of the drought IL IL had no
been that the Indians burned of tn
prairie every year as soon as tn
grass would burn and before IL go
so dry from the drought.
I'm 1886 there was fearfu
drought. That was when the farm
ers on the prairie uplands couldn'
raise a peck of corn TO a thousan
acres. The drought set in the latte
part Of May or first Of June and last
