WHOLE COUNTRY
CRIES FOR R AIN
Richmond Had Dryest August
Since I8e6-Crops Ruined
by Drought.

Extending over the entiro eastern
section OF Nirsinia with the exception
of the lower Tidewater. drought OF
extreme duration and intensity holds
the land in its grip. August. 1912. was
the dryest August since 1896, only l.49
inches OF rain falling during the
thirty-o one days. June, July ana Au-
gust fell I'll inches behind the normal
amount of precipitation at Richmond.
while September has started in with Il
deficiency OF OBS inches IN nine days,
with slight chances Tor break in the
dry weather.
The month of juno both this year
and last lacked only q small amount
OF registering its normal quantity OF
rainfall July, 1911. was exceptionally
dry. only 0.57 inches OF rain falling,
here during the month but It was fol-
lowed by heavy rains during August
The July drought has held over this
year until the present time. Only half
as much rain Tell during the three
months OF summer this year as fell
during the same period of 1911.
While this is true. the fact remains
that heavy rains during tho months
OF March and May have so far added
to the total for 1912 that the deficiency
tor the year is only 3.2S inches. Tho
August rains. while small in quaint
- W. - HoHc tHcieSS, productive of
greater benefit to the territory effect
ed than is usually the case from sucn
an amount OF precipitation, because
they occurred during the night when
evaporation is small, and in conse
quence practically all of the moisture
is permitted TO sink into the ground.
Some other sections OF the state
have suffered TO greater extent than
mas Richmond. Ashland received only
oo2 inches OF rain during August. and
reports from that point indicate that
crops nave been practically consumed
By the excessive drought on tho
other hand. the mountainous region
has had an abundance OF rainfall Elk
Knob in Lee County, having twenty
three days or rainy weather during
August.
