Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 20, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 June 1911 — GOOD RAINS FELL [ARTICLE]

GOOD RAINS FELL

In Jasper County, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The north part of Newton and Union township was visited by 1 a good heavy rain Saturday afternoon, which was much needed, and especially' in north Union, which territory has had very little rain for six weeks or two months. A good rain also fell Saturday afternoon southeast of Rerisselaer, but little fell here. Sunday, however, was showery all day and the rain appeared to be quite general, the heaviest of the showers here being at about seven o’clock in the evening. Monday morning another shower came, and a little rain fell in Rensselaer Monday night, the shower apparently being quite heavy farther north. These rains; while but a small fraction of what is needed to start the pastures and grass to growing, has done lots of good to the corn and late potatoes and garden truck throughout this section of the country.
