The past week has again been one OF
perfect fall weather, with bright skies,
crisp. cool air, sunny days and beautiful
moonlight nights. But while it has been
so pleasant, the need of rain increases
each day. The streams are getting very
low indeed, wells are failing, clsternS
are becoming empty, and pools are dry
ing up. Already much Inconvenience is
fell by farmers, who have either to haul
water or drive their live stock a conSld-
cradle distance to the streams. If there
should happen to come cold weather and
a freeze before the underground reSer-
voirs are replenished the question OF wa
fer supply may become serious. =
