cents over yesterdays close.
The corn crop, already retarded
seriously by the floods and evces-
sive spring rains, needs sunny
days and hot nights if it is 70
mature before fall fcosts.
The temperature here dropped
early today TO 49.* degrees, the
lowest FOR July IN the Weather
bureaus l00-year history. Tenn
peratures generally in the MID
west were about l" degrees be-
low seasonal noimals. The lowest
recorded was at Land OLakes,
Wis. where the mercury dipped
to 80 degrees, cre degree above
freezing.
w. M. Percy, Chicago forecast
er, said late today that tempera-
lures were beginning to rise slow
" in Western Iowa, and the lows
of last night would not be equalled
tonight. He SAID a warm air
trough was moving across Iowa
and would bring some relief to
corn-growing areas.
Growing Stops
But, the Weather bureau at In
dianapolis said Indiana crops had
virtually stopped growing" be-
cause of u~nseasonably low tenn
peratures.
The cold snap extended as far
South as Missouri and Southern
Ohio, hitting a low of 81 degrees
st Cincinnati. Temperatures were
expected to rise somewhat tomor-
row but fall again Thursday.
A Chicago grain firm spokes-
man said corn already had been
delayed two weeks and that more
delay would bring a greater
chance of soft" moisture contain
ing grain. He SAID it also would
iL the cnance of small ears
through frost damage before the
plants reach full development.
Ordinarily, corn is considered
SAFE from frost by Sept. 20 but
the unreasonable temperatures
have advanced the probable
''safe'' date to Oct. 10 or Is, he
said. Further low temperatures
would set the date still farther in
to the fall, he said.

With winters cold and summers

OVERSTATEMENT - Perhaps
the old paper overstated some of

good year.
The present, 1947 hasn't been
