tween 50 and IS per cent Of normal.
More rain would help restore sap
to the plants stalk, and thus make
the curing more satisfactory. Harv-
est Of both hurley and dark-fired to-

Closer to Farmville. Indy Ham
lett sums up the plight Of the
farmer. With only some three
inches Of rain since June, the hay
crop was awfully slim in the Hamp-
den-Sydney and Worshap areas.
Dry weather forced dairymen to
feed hay for three weeks before
temporary relief in July. and now.
hay feeding has been necessary for
the past two weeks The tobacco
fares no better there-the crop was
cut third in size. and lack of sap
is making the curing process
difficult one. Already. half of the
dark fired has been harvested to
keep it from burning up in the
field.
August Far Below Normal
August normally provides a fall
of more than five inches in Prince
Edward To date. Striplin's gauge
shows only 57 inches, and most of
it fell on two days early in the
month. One inch of the measured
rain came on the 9th. with 81
inches Of it two days earlier on the
9TH
The weatherman observed that
the dry weather wouldn't be so bad
on the farmer, but no rain and high
temperatures together are taking
their toll And the temperatures
have been as high as the weather
has been dry. He reports high
