MERCURY FALLS
WITH RAIN
Good Rain Would Produce Fair Corn
Crop and Biggest Alfalfa Crop on
Record Locally Say Farmers

After several days Of swelterlng heat
with the thermometer flhctuating be-
tween 1O9 and III degrees, welcome
drop in temperature came early This
morning with refreshing rain.
While the precipitation was but six
one.hundredths of an inch it served to
supply some moisture to the famishing
crops and it was hoped that the cloudy
weather which prevailed today would
serve to check the rising temperature
until another rain should save the
corn ard other crops which are now
suffering,
Reports coming in from farmers to
"Sandy" Horton, county weigher give
promise Of good corn crop with the
aid Of more moisture. "The alfalfa
crop would be as fine as you ever
heard Of with good rain, said the
weigher. Farmers say there will be
plenty Of feedstuff, such milo maize
and kaffir corn.
