Babson Discusses WEATHER Babson Park, Mass. —- During my recent trip through the Cen tral West I heard much complaint ciue to the drought. Some sections of Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas have not had a drop of beneficial rain for six months. EFFECTS OF DROUGHT Good pasture and good crops need sunshine and lain, as well as good soil and cultivation. Especially. without sufficient lain, the crops fail. This, in turn, means less feed for the cattle, j hogs and other livestock, forcing them to market at lower prices. Furthermore, the long e r a drought lasts, the more serious are the results. ■ Hence everyone is asking: I' How long will the drought last'.1" • Statistics indicate that no one I can answer with certainty. Some I droughts last only, six months: j others have lasted three years. ; Due to the many recent fat years .which the Central West lias en ; ioyed. it is logical that a drought ' is now due and that it may last ! longer than we all hope. Certain ly. our new President cannot j make clouds: even scientists ean , not make lam when there are no clouds.
