The rains began in the Fort Wayne area early Thursday. By 7 a.m., Thursday in Decatur. .04 inch of rain had fallen, Louis Landrum, weather observer, noted today. More rain fell here Thursday morning and again Thursday evening, when scattered showers also appeared in the Fort Wayne area. By 7 a.m. today .23 inch of rain had fallen, raising the total so far close to .3 inch, enough to dampen fields and make the atmosphere hot and humid. About the only thing more rain would disturb would be the hay cutting, the county extension office said this morning. The hay cutting has been late this year, because of May’s rains. Oats and wheat look good, the office report-’ ed, while there have been a couple of reports of army worms in corn. Prospects were that as a cold front hit northeastern Indiana tonight that there would be more rain, which would end in time for a fair and pleasant weekend.
