A heavy rain fell over the entire district September 15 and with the exceptions of a few scatlere: showers there was no more rainfall during the remainder the month. One-eighth of an inch of rain fell here the first of lasi week. During the last two weeks of September and the first two days of October farmers put up a lot of hay and the majority of grain was threshed. However, a few-fields of giuin still remain in the field. Also some farmers got to thresh clover seed, which had been needing threshing for over a month.

W. C- Chenoweth threshed over 500 pounds of nice seed from five acres of clover Friday A considerable amount of the seetl was lost due to the wet weather. The nice summer-like weathei came to an abrupt end late Mon day afternoon when the winu shifted to the north and rain clouds starting coming in. The rain arrivod here about six o'clock and a fairly even rain fell all during the night, tapering off into a mist Tuesday morning. A total of 1.625 inches fell here.

The thermometer continued to drop and Tuesday night saw the coolest weather of this unusual weatrer but there was no frost. There are yet many acres of hay left in the fields, but the majority of this hay will be of poor quality. Most hay fields are full of matured weeds and the hay cut at this time of year is un usually stemmy. The Missouri College of Agri culture at Columiba is advising farmers with standing fields of lespedeza not to cut the crop for hay but cut later for seed. Late cut lespedeza will not reseed.

but if it is left for seed there will be enough seed shattered on the ground for reseeding. It is predicted that there was so much lespedeza cut for hay this year that there mill not be enough native seed harvested to supply the demand.
