There has been altogether too much
rainfall the past two weeks to suit the
ranchers, who are DESTROYS of getting
their big hay crops under cover. Work
progressed quite rapidly last week, but
rains started again on Sunday, and it
has rained every day since, with no
definite prospect of letting up at this
time. There was considerable hay
caught down throughout this section by
the rains of this week, and if the
weather does not change soon there
will be quite loss to ranchers, Last
nights rain amounted to over two
tenths of an inch.
