Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 149, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 June 1913 — Rains Were General Over Both Indiana and Illinois. [ARTICLE]

Rains Were General Over Both Indiana and Illinois.

The splendid rain which occurred here Saturday was quite general over Indiana and Illinois and was of great benefit to the crops. In Jasper county corn has not suffered Amt oats and pasture were beginning to show the need. Corn had a late start this year, but the two weeks of dry weather gave a fine chance to clean it up and better fields were never seen in the county. It was growing an inch a day, some say, during the hot weather, and this rain, which came as a steady, slbw shower, will sink well into the ground.
