LITTLE AID TO KANSAS
Rains Have Not Been Heavy
Enough for Lasting Bene-
fit to Crops.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, August 1S.-Fur-
Their showers were reported in parts of
Missouri and kansas last night. but the
status Of the drought situation. accord
ing to reports reaching the weather
bureau here and at Topeka, is not great
ly changed generally. Great relief was
experienced from rains of Saturday and
yesterday. and q temporary drop in tenn
perature. but the heaviest precipitation
rarely passed one and one-half inches.
and wide and needy sections were only
lightly sprinkied.
Where rains were as light as half inch
the baked ground drank the water and
day or two of hot sunshine will leave
the soil where ii was before the rain II
is said.
Relief to crops in Missouri Is reported
greater than IN Kansas From the ST
Joseph district farmers report pastures
for life. Southeastern Missouri received
excellent rains.
Reports from Pittsburg in southeast
ern Kansas today say that section has
had practically no relief. The showers
Of Saturday and Sunday were too light
either to moisten the soil or replenish
dried wells and ponds, and today the
sun again burned in a cloudless sky,
promising to send the temperature
above 100.
The Topeka weather bureau reported
peratures around the 100 mark in Kan
sas generally. Rains of lasting benefit
in the state have not covered wide
areas and reports still reach the state
capital Of suffering from exhausted
water supply.
