BENEFICENT TO FARMERS.
Rains in This Section Have Done
Power of Good.

The weather conditions in this section are
beginning to look brighter. The heavy
rains of the past week have satisfied the
longings of the farmers in Maryland, Viz
ginia and North Carolina and the prospects
are that the wet weather will not continue
much longer.
The weather bureau looks for little more
rain, although the days will be cloudy dur
ing the early part of the week. The rain
that fell during the past ten days was
greatly needed.
The soil was baked hard account of
lack of water and it was impossible for the
farmers to continue planting. In many Sec
lions of Virginia and Maryland, as we'll as
points to the SOUTH the weather was so hot
and dry for six weeks previous to the be-
ginning of the rain that it was impossible
to plant corn and almost impossible to cult
vate the regular garden truck. For this
reason planting was delayed.
The Virginia and Maryland farmers have
been blowing ever since the rain began, and
will Immediately set to work to get in their
late crops.
The rain has not extended further north
than Maryland. the middle Atlantic and
New England states being almost as dry
now they were a week ago.
The Potomac is very muddy this morning,
the first time since the rains of April This
would indicate that hard rain had fallen
in the mountain district and would go to
show that the rain belt is passing on to the
northwest, leaving this section to the tender
mercies of the sun.
There was absolutely no current in the
river this morning, however, which is said
to show that 1t has not risen to any great
extent, nor is it disturbed by freShetS any
where along it's banks.
