SOAKING RAIN ENDS
WEEKS OF DROUGHT.
SHOWERS WORTH MILLIONS
VISIT SOUTH SECTION OF
STATE.-A DRY MONTH.

A period of three weeks without
moisture during which time the roads
became deep with dust, pastures burn
ed and springs dried up, was ended
Wednesday when a gentle rain began
falling about 8 o'clock and continued
internationally during the day A to-
tai OF so inches OF rain fell On
Thursday various parts of the county
were visited by showers and on Fri
day night came a heavy rain that last
ed for more than an hour. 1t is safe
to hazard that the drought is broken.
The state reports indicate that the
rain was general throughout the CEN
trail and southern portions of the state.
In this connection the weekly crop re-
port of the state weather bureau says
Drought conditions IN central and
southern Wisconsin, unless soon re-
lieved, will become very serious The
growth of corn, potatoes, alfalfa, and
pastures is much retarded. Some
corn and potatoes on high ground are
dying out, but crops generally are
good over the state.
Nights have been too cool and the
soil too dry for the best development
of cranberries. This crop is injured
from blight and fire worm. Dat har-
vest is progressing and the crop is
good to excellent Winter wheat and
rye is in shock and in good condition.
Threshing of wheat, barley, and rye
is progressing rapidly under favorable
conditions"
July 1920 was a month of dryness.
The actual rainfall was .65 inches as
follows: .02 on the first: OF on the
second; 40 on the fifth and .O4 on the
18th On the other hand June had
1872 inches of rainfall we'll distributed
through the month and the fact that
the ground was we'll loaded with mois-
ture went long way toward pulling
the crops through July.

FARMERS DO WELL
Record Prices Paid Wheat Crow
ers of Western Canada.
viii Get Above 40 Cents Over the
Fixed Scale Set-World Looking
to the Dominion for lts
Grain.

It will be Of interest to many read
ers to learn that their farmer friends
In Canada will do SO well out Of the
wheat they grew on western Canada's
prairies last year.
There was a fixed price Of $2.16 per
bushel paid for their wheat last sea-
son.
Not knowing the price at which II
would be possible to market the crop.
the Canadian grain board, which or
ganization handled the whole Of the
crop last summer, fixed $2.15 as q min
lmum price for No. / wheat, and ar
ranged that each farmer should be
given certificates for the quantity Of
wheat he delivered. TIE amount re-
reived over and above the fixed price
which was paid to the farmers when
telling their wheat was to be divided
pro rata at the end Of the season. and
the holders of these certificates will.
therefore, participate in the extra
price received according to the quan-
tity of wheat sold.
The latest advices are that the
wheat board will pay at least 40 cents
4 bushel over the fixed rate Of $2.15
,ushel for their wheat of last season.
This means that about 100000 Will
be distributed among the farmers OF
Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
This sum represents the difference In
the price at which the wheat crop was
sold and the price that was fixed for
hst seasons crop.
Canadian Wheat In Demand.
A declaration that Canadian wheat
would in all probability sell this year
1t between So and IS per bushel. was
made recently before q conference OF
western supporters of the government
BY DR.. Robert Magill. who was one Of
deputation from the Winnipeg grain
exchange. DR.. Magill argued in IA
vor of open trading from the aspect
II world conditions. He stated that
40 wheat could be exported from Rus
sia owing to internal troubles.
Roumania would have absolutely
aone to export, India was prohibiting
EXPORT, while Australia's acreage
would fall from 1900. 600 to 100000.
rhe result would be that Ausfralia
would scarcely have enough - f9e6
herself. and there would be absolute
y no wheat for Europe. except from
The Argentine and North America.
DR.. Magill, according to formal an
aouncement, though It would be i'm
possible to secure as good a price for
the producer by control as by the
open market. The United States mar
ket was now open. and, according to
present prospects, there would be
mighty little to spare from that quar-
.er. The net result would be that Ca
