MONTH Of DROUTH
HAS BEEN BROKEN
THERE HAD BEEN NO APPREcl'
ABLE RAINFALL IN CENTRAL
SECTION FOR 30 DAYS,
WORTH MILLIONS TO CROPS
Crops Were Beginning to Suffer, But
II Is Believed That Worst
Is Now over.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Little Rock--Sunday and Monday
rain fell quite generally through many
counties Of the state, especially in
the south and southwest, breaking a
drouth that had lasted for 20 days.
1t was the most protracted June
drouth in "a years, according to the
local weather bureau, and the rain
came at a time when the crops all
over the state were beginning to sut'
fer from lack Of moisture. While there
is no way Of determining the value Of
the rainfall, it has frequently been
said that 1t was worth millions to
the farmers of the state.
The last appreciable rainfall in Lit
tie Rock and vicinity was May Il,
when only .16 inch fell and the last
heavy rainfall was on May 4, when
the precipitation was 1.94 inches. The
accumulated deficiency in rainfall
since Jan, 1, compared with "a years
average, is 8 inches.
The temperatures here have been
above the seasonal average since May
2l, The average maximum for this
period is 81 degrees and the average
minimum 6S, but the temperatures
have been from to 10 per cent above
these figures since May 2l The one
redeeming feature Of the weather has
been the low humidity, being as low
as As, against an average of So, pro.
ducng a condition similar to thot
which exists in Arizona and other arid
regions,
Tho heaviest rainfall appears to
have been in jefferson and Clarke
counties, but rain was also reported
from Drew, st. Francis, Hot Springs,
Pulaski Pike, Saline, and few other
counties, while some reported a con.
tinuance Of the drouth that has burn.
ed up garden vegetation and berries,
seriously damaged the corn and
threatened the cotton. II Is believed,
however that the worst Is over now,
and that conditions are fayorble for u
more general and heavier rainfall,
