SUNSHINE IN ENGLAND
SPELL OF DELIGHTFUL WEATHER. WATER SUPPLIES RUNNING LOW. (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, September 4. The continuance of brilliant sunshine over England, though delightful for the holiday-makers, is increasing anxiety in some towns where water supplies are running low and of the farmers in many parts of the country. Agriculturists who found the fine weather ideal for harvesting are now fearing the effect of its continuance on root crops, while the parched condition of much grassland has seriously diminished the milk yield. In some remote villages water has to be carried a considerable distance. There are, however, very few towns which have not as yet ample reserves of water.
