RAIN WELL RECEIVED
The Rains Of the Past Week are
Well Received Soil is Now
Ready for Flowing.

This section of the state was visit
ed by number of heavy rains during
the past week. At times the at
mosphere was cold enough to cover
the ground with thin layer of snow.
The past summer has been excep-
tionally dry with the result that
many of the farmers have found it
impossible to do their fall plowing on
account of the ground being SO hard.
The hot sun and little rain has baked
the ground so hard in places that it
was impossible to break new ground.
During the past week the farmers
were busy between storms with their
blowing outfits. Many acres sur
rounding this city are being sowed in
winter wheat.
This year has demonstrated beyond
doubt that this is great winter
wheat section. Notwithstanding the
exceptionally dry year the yields in
this section were good.
