RAIN FOLLOWS FOG
FLOOD WARNINGS ISSUED IN VICTORIA United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright MELBOURNE, June 1. Following heavy fog, which blanketed the City and the south-east of Victoria yesterday morning, rain set in and continued throughout the day and evening. Flood warnings have been issued. So heavy was the fog that the Civil Aviation Department closed Essendon Aerodrome until 10 a.m. All early suburban trains were late, and motor-cars used their headlights. As the fog lifted rain began to spread all over the State. Rain is at present not generally needed in the country, and it may even do harm in some parts by preventing the sowing of crops.
