We bad quite a nice thunder shower
at Provolt, but not quite enough, for
the & ound is so dry that it will re.
luiro abundant rain to do any good
at all. There are many crops suffer.
ing for the want of water, while it is
time to do good, but two weeks from
now 1t will be too late and the crops
will be blighted. The dry weather is
what makes hard times for the grain
is scarce and -four is high and also
MAKES many other things high in pro.
portion. Some of the farmers who
have water to irrigate with, growl
because it makes so much bother.
What If it does, suppose they had no
water, then they would want what
hey didn't have. without water, the |
soil of Applegate or any other valley
IN Southern Oregon won't sprout red |
'yed beans or grow them when |
iwelled or sprouted with hot water.
Then why DO the people growl about
bother with water? There was the |
arm of j. Lewman seven years ago |
I could be bought for a song, for it |
VAS nothing but hot rock bar in the |
summer. Since it is covered with |
water, it is worth money aud il
would take good money to get it.
