Pleasant smiles showed farmers were buoyed by recent rains. Ottawa received 1.02 inches in 24 hours bringing May total to 2.72 inches. County Agent Don Brown said slow, soaking rain improved soil moisture and helped crops, while damp weather reduced some pests though army worms may flourish.

Southeast Kansas then saw more heavy rains than average, causing some river rises and minor flooding near Fort Scott, with forecasts of scattered showers tomorrow.
