DR0UTA IN YEARS
Reports to Louisville Newspaper From
All Sections of Kentucky Show the
State Drier Than In An Entire
Half Century Before.

The Louisville Courier-Journal sat
urday says:
Kentucky is now in the throes of the
worst drought in nearly fifty years,
according to reports from all sections
of the state.
In the mountains of Eastern Ken
lucky forest fires are raging and the
air throughout the section is pungent
with the odor of burning trees and
underbrush. Practically all the small
streams are dry and larger ones are
mere brooklets compared to their size
at this time of the year.
The central section of the state is
suffering. In several towns the reser.
voirs are dry and pipe lines are being
laid to rivers miles distant. The rain.
fall in Fayette county during the
months of November was only .SS Of
an inch. The normal fall is 3.4S
inches.
Western Kentucky presents practic
ally the same conditions, although no
as bad as the other sections.
Farmers throughout the state ar,
hauling water. Many of the rivers ar,
at low ebb.
Although now late in the fall tn,
situation is unabated, thereby present
ing one of the oldest freaks of tn,
