The bunch of trout fishermen who

Since local option went into affect in
Wexford county, it is reported that in
Cadillac it is so dry that the wagons are
going around with their tongues hanging
out and ice has to be soaked in water
over night before it is wet enough to make
lemonade. Perry Powers says this is
true. He says the fish in Clam lake kick
up such dust that it has to be sprinkled
before person can go fishing. A spark
from an Ann Arbor engine set a big pond
on fire and it burned up wagon load of
bull frogs before the Cadillac fire depart
ment could get there and extingush it.
Even the ground is so dry that the craw-
fish holes are being dug up and sold for
pipes while old wells are extracted by
stump pullers and cut into smaller sizes
and disposed of for postholes.
