If it is a joke, it is a mean one., Baking heat, blistering sunlight, and a sky which remains pitilessly cloudless for weeks at a time, with never a drop of rain to lay the dust these are, or can be, the makings of a national calamity, and the farmers of the grain belt can be pardoned if they fail to see anything very funny in the situation. , When a spell of weather like this hits a land where the social organization is primitive, famine results. It was to guard against just such disasters that the ancient agrarian tribes of the American southwest developed such elaborate rites to appease the rain gods; it ia to help mitigate the effects of such disasters that the American public is called on every so often to contribute to Chinese famine relief funds. crop-burni- States today, for all the damage that the YET the United is causing, is in no dahger of famine.
