A little sprinkle of rain in this
vicinity raised the hopes of all Sun
day night, but the rain did not
amount to much. ABOUT enough
moisture resulted to nicely lay the
dust. OF course it didn't do any

farmers in town report that crops in
some localities are hurt materially.

and ready to cut. One thing is sure:
Our grain crop this year will not be

| In recent letter to the writer
from d. r. Streetor. who is making
his home at Lynn Haven. Fla, we
learn that Florida is experiencing
a drouth period such as was
never before known in its history.

been less than an inch of rainfall
since March in state ordinarily in
!, the rain belt. Grasses and grains
have been put out of commits sion,
but fruit trees are protected be-
cause the roots reach to water which
is near the surface in that state.
Harvest hands from Iowa, Illinois
and nearby states report that coun-
try drouth-stricken likewise.
