Continual Rain Has Brought Gloom
to West Kentucky
Farmers.

BY the constant rainfall since last
week the crops in the lowlands OF
Western Kentucky have suffered
considerable damage. The rains
have been heavy and during the
three days the rainfall according to
measurement has amounted to 5.13
inches. The weather forecast pre-
diets that there will be more rain

broke drought the clouds after q
heavy showe- this morning, and was
out for several hours.
The damage to wheat has been
greatest. Thousands of bushels OF
wheat are in the shocks, which are
liable TO sprout and ruin unless the
rains cease and permit the farmers
to threash. The heavy rains com
ing at a time when the farmers
were preparing to thresh bumper
crop of wheat, has cast a gloom
over the prospects Hay has also
been damaged as many farmers
have hay on the ground. and are
unable to move 1t until It had dried.
