THE PRAIRIE CROPS,
They Look Well, but Need Rain to
Nature.

Mrs. Braase has just returned from
Camas Prairie. She says that the
crops look splendidly and promise a
good yield, but that rainstorm would
do great deal of good, just now, as
the heat is SO intense that even the
weeds are roasting to death. Hay is
very short, this year, and only from
one.third to one-half crop has been
cut. But the other crops will make
up for this, if they get little rain
before it is too late.
Mrs. Braase's son sank a we'll on
his ranch, last week. BY sinking Eve
feet he got IA inches of clear water,
from a vein whose flow seems to be
inexhaustible.
