There was another monster rain Sunday and Sunday night. The fall as registered at St. Joseph’s college from 10 a. m. to 6:30 p. m. Sunday was one-half inch, but the greater part of the rain was after 5:30 and will be recorded in the record taken at 5:30 this afternoon. The temperatuer took a big drop also and today is quite cold and many are wearing top coats and most houses have heating stoves or furnaces in operation. The rain has done added damage to unthrashed grain and has served as a further drawback to fall plowing and wheat sowing and it is probable that the wheat acreage will be greatly reduced this year.
