AMERICAN DROUGHT.
PLIGHT OF FARMERS.
WORST IN HISTORY.
(Australian Cable Service.)
NEW YORK, May 8.
Unless heavy rains soon fall
in the Mid-West of the United
States, Government officials pre-
dict "the most devastating
drought in American history."
Showers fell in parts of Iowa
and Kansas, but nothing like
sufficient rain to turn the tide
from crop failure.
