Garrett county is suffering from severe drought,
the results Of which may be very serious and far
reaching. Many of the mountain streams are very
low some Of them have almost disappeared and
how to get water for the cattle in some places is
becoming a serious question. Many springs have
gone dry and great many families are compelled
to haul water for their household purposes long
distance The long continued dry weather is very
disastrous to the grazing interests by reason Of its
effects upon the fall pastures. The buckwheat,
which is one OF the principal crops in that section,
is ripenng prematurely and the crop viii be seri-
ously impaired by the dry weather and the hot sun.
The dust in the roads and streets is almost unbear
able. All along the roads the foliage the trees
and bushes is covered with heavy coat Of dust
and at a little distance looks almost white.
