Show DROUGHT IS BROKEN Thunderstorms starting about midnight Monday and continuing at intervals during the early hours of Tuesday morning broke the drought here, one-quarter of an inch of rain falling, as measured by R. U. Mac-farlane Mac-farlane the local weather observer. The previous total rainfall for this year here was one and one-half inches in-ches only, so that the total for the seven and one-half months is less than two inches. Last year's total precipation was 6 12100 inches only, which was less than average. Farmers and stockmen are rejoicing, rejoic-ing, hoping that now a break has been made that two may get more of the precious rain. |
