He pointed out. however, these rains generally had served merely to | freshen pastures and had not |vived dried creeks and_ springs. Secretary of investigated August rainfall and | found it deficient in 26 states, most |of them in the Mississippi valley. | Arkansas obtained only 15 per cent of its normal August rainfall. Re- ports of rainfall only 75 or 50 per {cent of, normal were numerous. Exteflsion of the dry area northern Tllinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota led Hyde to suggest a | new drought period may be in pros- pect for the northern tier of states. | Wheat Fscapes, Corn Suffers | Wheat. which matures compara- tively early, escaped most drought damage and the country is con- | fronted with serious overproduction |of that grain.
