Not since we have kept tab Eon the
rainfall, do we remember anything
like so protracted spell of drouth in
the early spring as that we have just
passed through. From March until
April % no rain fell-a period of over
six weeks. The crops have suffered
considerably from the long continued
dryness, and the natural feed must
inevitably be scant. Cattle men are
hard hit, and stock is being offered
to the butchers at prices away down,
the owners deeming it wise to dispose
of them now than take the chances of
holding them IN the gloomy aspect of
affairs that confronts them. How
ever, seasonable rains from now on
would probably put a much brighter
hue to the situation.
