SHOWERS COOL,
Aid CROPS In
THREE STATES
But Farmers Selling Stock,
Moving Out Of Large
Drouth Area
NO RELIEF SEEN FOR
REST OF COUNTRY

CHICAGO, July 49, (UP)-
Rain clouds which scattered life
giving moisture over the western
edge Of Americas great drought
basin "simply evaporated" and
the rest of the nation will sizzle
several more days, Forecaster j.
R. Lloyd, of the Chicago weather
bureau, reported today.
Montana, Wyoming and Colo
RADIO were the only states cooled
by the weekend rain of any ap-
preciable importance.
Lloyd saw some hope in the
fresh wave of cool air moving in
from the north Pacific and
spreading over the Rockies. There
will be local showers in North Da-
kota and northwestern Minnesota
tonight and tomorrow, he predict
ed. - 10
AS if in answer to prayers spo-
ken Sunday morning in little
churches throughout the Dakotas,
rain began to fall. Dome Lake,
Wyo., got LOT inches; Williston,
N; d., had a good shower that
turned gray dust into damp, black
soil; the rumble Of thunder and
the drip-drip Of welcome water on
the caves was heard in parts Of
Iowa anil eastern Nebraska.
1t was an hour Of thanksgiving,
but q tragic hour, too, because
rain reminded the west that al
most 1000 persons, have died
from prostration and drowning.
The damage to crops and cattle is
estimated at $500, 900, 000..
What rain there was came too
late to save wheat fields and pas
ture lands in the .Dakotas. Already
farmers have started selling their
homes and machinery. and aban-
doning the parched earth in which
no grain could live.
The Mississippi valley still bakA
ed under q cruel sun and all eyes
scanned the west for signs Of
rain or clouds. Iowa corn, which
has held out CALAMITY against
heat and drought by digging into
sub-soil for moisture, was begin
ming to suffer. The heat of Satur-
day and today began to wilt the
corn. Early Sunday afternoon the
temperature at Shenandoah, Ia,
was 100 and rising.
If mature becomes perverse and
withholds rain for the Mississippi
valley after this promise of relief,
the suffering will be intense,
There has been an unvarying,
tragic death toll of about so lives
a day for the past week. Health
experts feared the average would
begin to climb if drought and
heat persist.
