The Great Drought

While the West has had more rains
and heavier thunder storms than ever
before and while floods are destroying
lives and property at Monterey, Mexico,
the East, especially South Jersey, is sun
ing from a greater and longer drought
than ever before.
There has been no real heavy soaking
rains since last June. Only two good
showers have fallen i'll this region ana
they brought not owe three inches Of
rainfall.
While the tomato crop on ioaming land
has been good with some, on light land
it was cut short and there is no proht to
landlord nor tenant. Very few can dig
sweet potatoes and there is not likely to
be more than half Of last years crop.
The corn. and late tomato crop has been
damaged from one-fourth to One-half
what they should be-, in this region,
while water melons are selling better
than for years. They have been SO UNI
proftatable the past few years that only
a few are now grown to what use to be
planted. Catalogues have also been
selling well but the dry weatherer is now
hurting both melons and cantaloupes.
In only two Summers in the past thirty
years has less rain fallen. The total rain
fall for June July and August was ga
inches. In 1881 it was COL and i'll 1894.
$50 The normal rainfall for this period
is 10. "a inches. The normal annual rain
fall is Ally inches. The deficiency to
September LIST was 40 inches.
The drought is becoming serious. Wells
are going dry which never went dry be-
fore. The ~Sckuylkill and Brandywine
are lower than for years.
Rain is now badly needed.

Notice To Subscribers

Those subscribers who get their papers
thru the mail will get a bill this month.
The figures after the name on the paper
will show to what date they are paid.
The first figure is the number of the
month and the last two the year.
The RECORD is delivered to subscribers
either by carrier or thru the mail at
considerable expense and it should not
be considered too much to ask that the
pay be delivered once a year without the
extra expense of having to be gone after.
The new law requires that all subscrip-
tions must be paid not later than the end
of the year and that all papers not paid
for at the end of the year are not mail
able. Many call at the Office and keep
paid up promptly. Those who have
overlooked the matter should not feel
unkindly by being reminded that there
is small profit III subscriptions and yearly
payment is a necessity for publishers
to pay bills and to have the paper mail
able.
