The dry weather still continues
and is beginning to take on seri-
Gus aspect. Many farmers are now
compelled 20 feed their stock as the
pasturage has failed and the cattle
can find no place to Craze; even the
water supply is exhausted on some
farms and water for the farm ami
mails has to be hauled from the
streams or from the wells of more
fortunate neighbors. The northern
part of Wisconsin and Minnesota
are in an even more serious plight
as the danger from forest fires has
been greatly heightened. The past
week has been one of calamities in
this respect, devastating fire de-
stroying entirely one town in north
ern Minnesota and exposing several
more to the relentless flames. The
latest reports state that the fires at
last have been checked, but millions
of dollars worth of property has al
ready been destroyed and much val
liable land laid waste. Too great
caution in setting fires at such
times as these cannot be exercised.
