 terday in the form Of widespread rains.

 The heaviest rainfalls reported to the Chicago headquarters of the gov ernment bureau yesterday were 1.72 inches at Birmingham. Ala. 1.60 at Davenport, la, and 1.34 in Williston, N. D.
 Southern Illinois and Indiana. numbered among the acutely strick- en areas in the government drought survey, received soaking rains in most sections. Those crops that had not been completely burned out were considered to have a good chance for recovery.
 The weekend was kind to the corn belt farther west, also. More than an inch of rain fell in the last few days at Valentine, Neb.. keo- kuk, la, and Fort Dodge, Ia. Sub stantial showers were reported Tn most of the two states.
 The whitening tobacco crop of Southern Wisconsin, the corn. late wheat and potatoe fields of Minne- sota and the Dakotas, all benefited 10 an extent not easily estimated.
