The gentlemen say they are not in need of rain in their section and the outlook is promising for a good season. The rain last Sunday and Monday morning registered 58-100th of an inch. It was good so far as it went, but this country needs several good soaking rains before any great good may obtain. As it is some winter wheat is so badly damaged in this section that the crop will be very light. While this immediate section of the country is being seriously injured by a woeful lack of moisture, many other sections of the country at large are just as badlv afflicted with too much of the good tiling.
