Missouri County Assessors Back To Valuation For Taxes
Thirty five years ago Missouri county assessors met in Jefferson City and agreed to assess property at actual value for next year’s taxes. The move followed a State Tax Commission recommendation led by J H Galeener of Sikeston. Later years saw a return to fractional assessments. The item also notes wheat yields, unit movements of Sikeston’s National Guards, a Cape Girardeau wrestling match, multiple local weddings and anniversaries, highway flooding near Cape Girardeau, a farm inspection tour, a business change at Pittman Laundry, a heat death of a farm laborer, and visits from a former Sikeston resident.

Weather outlook offers little relief for southeast Missouri
UM climatologist reports a stagnant forecast as drought persists in southeast Missouri. A thin rainfall last week failed to alleviate the drought, and the 30 day outlook shows low temperatures with minimal precipitation. Short range forecasts may be more accurate, but June remains unusually dry with only two similar years in 40, 1933 and 1934.
