!, The ! eavy downpour of last nigh
and today will do an incalculabl
Gmount of good to growing crops
> The surface of the ground was b'
coming quite dry and gardens in pal
ticular were needing moisture badl.
This will give all field crops a rapi
K stage of growth. The crop outloo
never was better. Not all the cor

early has a good color, germinatio
averaging 95 to 81 per cent.
