Calamity Rain Ends Drought and Damages Region
One of the heaviest September rains in the area broke the drought on Friday night, with intense lightning and a long downpour continuing into Saturday. Power failed as a transformer burned, roads flooded, bridges washed out, and cars were stranded or swept into ditches. Little East river swelled, causing detours and widespread property damage but refilling wells and fields, with fall plowing possible again soon. Also noted are Missouri grown apples from Kelsey Orchards and the marriage of Bertha Fanning to Attie Lird on September 10 in Chillicothe, with the couple to reside in Kansas City.

Precautions for Saving Soft Corn in Face of Frost
Missouri farmers are urged to preserve soft corn with frost threats to protect the seed crop. Methods include hogging down, harvesting for silage or fodder shocks, and ventilated cribs for nearly mature ears. Tankage supplements supplement corn, and temporary fencing aids field clean-up. Frosted ears should be stored promptly in ventilated cribs, with soft ears prioritized for feed and careful handling to avoid spoilage. Local notes mention Luther Lauck buying a Garner store and planning cash operations amid a large sale turnout.
