         Parts of Newaygo County 
           Are Hard Hit By Drought
           
         No Rain Since April 28 and Crops
           Are Burning Up - Farmers Dis-
           couraged, Move to Cities.
           
         White Cloud, June 23, - Farmers near
       Bitely, Newaygo county, report that un-
       less rain comes soon their crops will
       be a total failure.
         No rain of any consequence has fallen
       in that part of Newaygo county since
       April 28.
         Corn is not more than two or three
       inches high, wheat has fairly got started,
       and garden truck and other crops are burn-
       ing up from the heat.
         Many farmers have become so discouraged
       that they have taken their families and
       removed to the cities, leaving their homes
       deserted and the farm machinery standing
       in the yard unprotected from the weather.
