Unless Jupiter Pldvlus opens his

the indications are that the farmers OF
this section, and in fact all oyer the

see any favorable indications of an
early heavy rain.
Farmers from every section OF the
county were In the city Saturday, and
reported existing conditions to be
very unfavorable. They said the alb
sence of rain has played havoc with
the crop, and that unless heavy rain
comes soon the oats will be almost
q failure. Even now they are In
a bad condition and the rain, to save
them, must be heavy, Cotton, too, is
in bad shape, and some of it has not
come up. They are anxious and
greatly depressed over the situation.
The month just passed was the dry
est A pril since 1897 and during the en-
tire month less than l inch or .99
inches of rain fell. Eyer since the first
of the year there has been lack OF
rain, and the accumulated deficiency
