Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 August 1904 — THE DROUGHT IS BROKEN. [ARTICLE]

THE DROUGHT IS BROKEN.

SsThe long drought was broken Yesterday by copious rains which apparently were general throughout the county. The rain came down gently and every drop soaked into the ground, doing an immense amount of good. The dry weather has probably used up the pickle crop and has cut short the corn thousands of bushels in Jasper county and elsewhere over the state.VWhile coming a little late, this ram will be of great benefit tq corn and to pastures, which were almost completely dried up.
