New Year brought this section of the
country much needed rain on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. In addition to this,
'he previous soft weather melted the deep
snow which covered the earth and, like a
spring thaw, opened the ground to absorb
ue falling water of the three first days of
he year. The farmers consider the sue
eeeding freeze. caused by the cold wave
nat reached here Tuesday night, unfavor-
aOle to growing wheat. but, while dam
age may be caused in this respect, they
o'e delighted that the water spouts will be
very much revived by the copious rain and
Snowmelt.
