Topeka, Aug. 1, The month of July, 1913, was the second dryest month Kansas has had since official government weather records have been kept. It is almost thirty years since there has been so little rainfall in the state as there has been in the last 30 days. There have been hotter months than this year, but not since 1887 has it been as dry. In some parts of the state even this record has been broken.

According to the unofficiai records kept by an old settler at Manhattan, the month ending today has been the driest since the grasshopper year of 1874 and is the second driest July in 56 years that this man has kept tab on the rainfall, the grasshopper year being the only one as low in rainfall as 1913. The government weather service was established in Kansas in 1896 and the second year the total rainfall for the month os July was 1. 06 inches in thirty-one days. In July, 1913, the total rain has bees I. 57 inches, scattered over four different showers Southeast Kansas is the only part of the state that has had real rains and is not suffering.

Fort Scott, Pittsburg, Sedan, Iola and similiar points in that part of the state have had more than tlpree inches of rain in the month. Minneapolis, which has had a local rain of nearly two inches early in the month, is the only point in Central Kansas that has had reasonable rains in July, and only a small amount of territory was covered at that time. July 1901, was the hottest month Kansas ever had. For twenty -six days in that month the thermometer registered 100 degrees or higher, the longest period of hot weather the cause a quick rebound in price.s and your child is made happy and healthy, as nature intended.
