r. washington, July l6.-RepOrtS to the
weather bureau show that the hot
weather continued in nineteen states
and territories of the great corn belt,
the Ohio valley and various portions Of
the South. There seems to be no inn
mediate evidence of abatement, except
in the South and Southwest, where 10
cal thunderstorms may cause some
moderations. The states affected in
clude Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Min

Colorado and Michigan. It has become

degrees. Hope of rain in the region af-
fected by the heat was not fulfilled,
only traces of 1t appearing in n or
two sections, except at Galveston, Tex,
where about one-third Of an inch Of
rain fell and in Eastern Texas, where
there were local .thunderstorms. The
temperatures reported yesterday show
only slight variation from the extremes
of the past few days and these are due
to local conditions entirely. In Des

Crop Damage I'm Many states.
The cry Of crop damage continues to
come from. the various states affected.
In addition to the damage from hot
winds reports Of serious damage to
wheat from chinch bugs come from
Southern Minnesota and portions Of
the Dakotas.
With no relief in sight, the fears for
the crops are fast becoming realizes,
and the scarcity OF water and general
ly dry conditions make the element Of
fire a most serious one. What the real
damage to corn, the crop most affected,
will be, is problematical, but it Is prob
ably safe to say that half the crop will
be lost. The supply Of water is short
in almost every direction and the ship
ment Of cattle and hogs to the market
to save them must continue.
Prayers for rain were offered in 2
score OF hanSaS ana missouri Churches
yesterday. Weather experts say that
rainfall under the present conditions Is
almost an i~mpossibility. Weeks and
months of torridity have rendered the
lower stratum Of the air so hot that
the rain drops would be transformed to
vapor in passing through It. Vegeta-
ton is shriveled and crop estimates are
being reduced every hour. Cattlemen
are flooding the markets with livestock
they are unable to feed or water, and
prices have dropped to record breaking
figures.
