Throughout the area of the great corn crop the drought has not yet been severe enough to seriously affect that crop. Hot weather Is not damaging to corn at this season. In fact, high temperature is one of the requisites of corn development, and so I think that we had better wait awhile before we say that the corn crop is ruined.
