Ohio reports say "Wettest in 71 years"; Nebraska "80 year rainfall record broken." South west Iowa "Raifall five times normal." Reports on rainfall by areas compared with normals comput ted on 30-year averages are as follows: July Normal 1958 Southwest Mo . 15 4.2 Lincoln, Nebr 11.5 3.5 Kearney, Nebr 7.49 2.7 Southwest Iowa ... 16-20 3.8 Central 111 10-15 3.5 Central Indiana 12 3.34 Central Ohio 10-12 3.3 Since moisture is usually the limiting factor in crop product ion, this years' production may be phenomenal. Oats and wheat are already showing high yields. Oats yields of up to 120 bushels per acre have been reported in west central Illinois. In Indiana an 8.2 acre filed of wheat was weighed in at 92.5 bushels per acre. It was of the new La Porte variety. Soybean harvest is al ready being predicted to be above the half billion bushel mark, which would be the largest on record. The Corn Belt, which usually has had a few tremendous dry areas each year, this year has only a very few. Central and southern Wisconsin have exper ienced short pastures and hay crops due to dry weather. Cen tral Michigan has also been quite dry with only 4 or 5 Inches of rain since crops were planted in some sections. Some parts of South Dakota have been a little short on needed moisture. A fantastic wet season de velment is the drilling of drain age wells in southern Nebraska. These wells are put down in the lowest spot on the farm and during wet spells are used as a well to drain the surface water down to the subsoil water sup ply. In dry seasons, the well can be used to pump water for irrigation. Louisville, Nebraska ATTEBERY EQU PMENT CO.
