The storm that visited this section
late last Tuesday evening was most
welcome. The heavy downpour of
rain was accompanied by flashes of
lightning and peals of thunder. The
hot winds of the past week were dam
aging the crops in many places, and
the copious rain lasting a few hours
was of great benefit to the parched
crops. The storm was quite severe
in some places and did some damage
to crops, but from all reports it was
a welcome shower.
During the month of July the
weather was warm and dry. A few
showers were had, but far apart. The
weather man gave us terribly hot
weather for the last week or more
of the month just passed. The con-
ditions were especially favorable for
farm work. Haying progressed rapid
ly during the latter part of July and
the bulk of the crop is now safe.
Corn has grown remarkably fast dur
ing the last week or two. The dry
weather was also favorable for the
harvesting of small grains. Garden
truck looks fine and a big yield is
looked forward to. Potatoes are in
excellent condition. A heavy rain late
last Tuesday afternoon brought well
come relief from the hot period. which
lately visited this part of the state.
