Heavy Downpour In
Bluffton District
Heavy rains for nearly a week
have more than supplied the ground
with adequate moisture, farm ob
servers reported here this week.
A torrential downpour of 3.38
inches caused such a large accumu
lation of water Monday afternoon
and night that drain pipes were un
able to remove the water rapidly
enough to make the water in the
streets curb deep.
On Lawn avenue near Vine street
the downpour was so heavy that the
water ran over the curbs and
poured into the cellar windows. Nu
merous residents reported wet base
ments following the Monday down
pour.
The rain storm caused many cars
to stop their travel and motorists
pulled over to the curb on Main
street until the storm abated. Nu
merous cars were forced to halt as
water filled the manifolds and damp
ened the spark plugs and ignition
systems.
The rain had a cooling effect on
the district with a definite drop in
temperature Tuesday night.
Although several days of rain
were greatly welcomed by farmers
here the continued downpour had
some bad effects on the fodder. Too
much moisture causes the fodder to
turn black and rot.
Soy beans, too, are adversely af
fected by too much moisture. The
pods have a tendency to swell and
burst when the sun shines on them
after the rain has stopped.
GET TAX MONEY
A check for $160 for auto license
and gas tax receipts has been re
ceived by Corporation Clerk Wilford
Geiger from the office of Allen
County Auditor Floyd Griffin. The
money represents twenty-five per
cent of distribution for the third
quarter.
