NORMAL RAINFALL LACKING
Corn Growers Most Affected by
Warm Dry Weather.

Washington, Aug 22.--Moderately warm
weather and a continued lack Of the normal
rainfall in most districts were the marked
features of the weather of the week just
ended, the National Weekly Bulletin of the
Weather Bureau. issued to-day, says.
In the corn growing states west OF the
Mississippi it continued dry in Missouri and
Oklahoma. and only light rains occurred in
Iowa. In portions Of Eastern Kansas and
over much of Nebraska, however, there
were good rains and conditions were more
favorable in those states. except In the
southern and western parts of Kansas.
where hot and dry weather continued. in
the principal corn growing states east OF
the Mississippi 1t was warm, and large sec
tons were without beneficial showers; IN
fact. no rain occurred over much OF Illinois,
and there was little or none In large por-
tons of Western Kentucky Western indl-
ana and Northern Ohio. In Southern Mlchi-
gan beneficial showers occurred, as well as
in West Virginia, relieving somewhat the
drouth in those states. but more rain is
needed in those as we'll as The other states
Of the belt.
In the spring wheat growing states the
weather was warm and dry. and conditions
we're favorable for the continuation OF the
harvest as well as the development of late
vegetation.
In the cotton growing states the continu-
alton of frequent showers in the central
portion of the belt, with much cloudy
weather. was generally unfavorable, but in
the eastern portions local showers and sun
shine prevailed and conditions were as
rule favorable, although more rain is need
ed in portions of Georgia and the Cardinals
In the cotton growing states west OF the
Mississippi the week continued unusually
warm. Heavy rains occurred in portions or
Arkansas. and there we're local showers in
Northern and Eastern Texas, but over the
greater part of that state as we'll as the
whole of Oklahoma there was practically
no rain, as during the preceding week. ana
the ground liz again becoming dry.

STRONG TEAMS ARE NEEDED
Crops Often Made or Saved by Proper
Horse PoWer-Farmcr Should
Keep Brood Mares.

In these days there Is much greater
demand on the horse strength Of q
farm than there was In the pre-ma
chinery days. and the possession of a
sufficient number of workers to fully
horse the various implements of the
well-equipped farm often means the
saving OF crop In the best possible
condition. whereas hindrances through
lack Of horse power causes loss of
good weather and damage forage or
grain.
Of course 1t is possible to have too
many horses, and especially those OF
the unsound or aged class. but of Inn
proving vigorous geldings under, say
eight years old, 1t is hardly possible
to have too many. The surplus may
be reckoned as a salable asset at any
time, and mares which are bringing a
foal almost every year, besides help
ing in the collar for more than hall
of their time. cannot be described az
useless drones,
IL Is the pest policy, therefore, 10,
every farmer to make his farm self
supporting in its horse supply by keep
ing as many good brood mares as
there Is need and convenience for,
and use the best available sire so that
each succeeding generation may be an
improvement on the parent stock In
value, In appearance and for work.
For tractability, together with &C.
tivity, the sire OF today is long way
in front of the coarse-legged. greasy.
heeled specimens of by-gone days. He
is fiat limbed. smart. and free in his
movements, and II battered as foal
and put to light work at two years of
age the breaking in Is a very simple
process, and all kinds of work is read.
