Jasper County Democrat, Volume 22, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 June 1919 — MORE RAIN IS NEEDED HERE [ARTICLE]

MORE RAIN IS NEEDED HERE

While we got more rain Friday afternoon, Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the showers were purely local and "only narrow strips of the country were benefited. Over about Remington and Wolcott they got none of these rains. Sunday’s rain was heaviest in this vicinity about 214 miles south of Rensselaer. Farther south they got very little rain. While tho corn Is not suffering, oats, wheat and rye are needing rain in the localities not visited by the local showers of the latter part of the week.
