Rain last night revived wilted crops and eased drought concerns. Farmers reported strong demand for farm produce with tomatoes at twenty cents a dozen and corn at fifteen cents per dozen ears. Eggs were scarce due to hatchery use. Local business showed improvement and New York reports indicate a prosperous first half of 1906 with high orders in iron, steel, and footwear. Labor shortages and higher costs limit new projects while railway earnings and trade show gains.
