BIG RAIN TURNS
WHOLE COUNTRY
INTO MUD-HOLE
]. PIuv Tries Himself in Sustained
Drive; Streets Like Canals;
Pckers Kept out of Coun-
ty Cotton Fields.

The rainfall, up to l:40 this af.
ternoon totaled 1.34 inches for the
day, according to the local weather
J bureau.
j. Pluv started early this morn
ing on what appears to be q sus
tanned offensive and before office
workers hit the old desks this morn
ing, the streets were solid sheets
of water and the storm sewers were
working overtime in an effort to
clear the streets of the young lakes
that were forming at every corner
and along the curbings.
Said storm sewers were having
very little, if any luck. however, for
as rapidly as they carried away a
cargo OF water, the supply which j.
Pluv was drawing upon so literally
filled the streets. Automobiles look
ed more like power boats, as they
sloshed and skidded along the streets
and as the downpour continued, said
streets took on the aspect of the
canals of Venice-if anybody knows
how the canals of Venice look.
After noon today, there was no
prospect of the rain finding place
at which to stop.
The effect on the farming will
be to keep all pickers out of the
fields for week or more, If the rain
stops today, growers declared this
morning. The rain was not accom-.
panied by wind, which is taken to
be favorable to the cotton growers
Some claimed that the drlppings from
the leaves would stain the open
cotton badly. but others were of the
opinion that the worst drawback
would come from the fact that no
pickers could get into the field. stop
ping the harvesting Of one of the
biggest cotton crops Grady has ever
seen.
One or two optimistic growers
who were seen this morning stated
as their opinion that the excessive
rains, keeping the pickers out of the
held would prove advantageous.
They figured that the price would
take a boost if the cotton is kept
off the market.
