Mid-Western States Still in Grip
of Drought With Little
Prospect of Rain

The smallest corn crop in so years
was forecast last week by the crop
reporting board of the Department
of Agriculture in Washington, which
predicted that much livestock will
be marketed and grain rations re-
duced for stock kept over next win
ter, irrespective of weather condi-
tons during the remainder of the
season"
The prospective 1896 corn harvest,
based on August condition, was es-
timated at 1,439, 1850 bushels,
whereas the July estimate before
the drought took such a heavy toll
was 2,244,834,000, against last years
production of 1921 ,629, 900.
The crop board forecast total
wheat production at 632, 745, 900
bushels harvested last year.
With oats forecast at about 772,-
100000 bushels, barley at 5000, 900
and grain sorghums at 81,0OO,00O-
all very light crops-total production
of the four feed grains, including
corn, was expected to toal about
100000 tons. This would be about
8 per cent more than the final har-
vest of 1884, but about 81 percent
less than in any other recent year.
Following lashing lake storm
that brought northern Illinois it's
first real rain in AZ days, burning
sun resumed its drought vigil in the
corn belt the first of the week. A
new heat wave began in Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri, Illinois and Indi-
ana, with no prospect of rain except
light scattered showers in the Da-
kotas and northern Minnesota.

Resolution

Be it resolved by the Sunday
School of the West Jefferson
Baptist Church:
1. That in the untimely pass
ing of Mrs. Katharine Reeves
Duncan, we have lost member
of our Sunday School whose fl
deity to duty was an inspiration
to us all. At the piano, her must
cal talent was an asset. AS the
teacher of a class of little girls,
she was regular in attendance,
always on time, devoted to her
class, and always interested and
helpful in all the phases of the
Sunday School work.
2. That we extend to her fam
lily and her wide circle of friends
our sincere sympathy in their
great loss. We share that loss and
we, too, shall treasure her in
grateful memory.
