FIRE BREAKS SHOULD
BE FLOWED NOW

The season of prairie fires is rapidly
approaching, in fact one or two fires
have already been reported. The ex
tremely heavy growth of grass this
season will make fire danger greater
than ever before The month of Au
gust is the proper season for blowing
fire guards.
All land owners should mark out
their lands by at least three or four
burrows which should be placed two
rods in from the section lines and the
space between these burrows should
be burned off little later on.
We have noticed this season that
there are more of the wild vetches and
plants belonging to the clover and al.
falfa family than ever before. These
plants are valuable for feeding pur.
poses and for enriching the soil. No
pains should be spared to protect them
from prairie fires.
OF course, we all understand that
this is a busy season, but we believe
it is well worth while for every land
owner and farmer to give careful at.
tention to this matter of blowing out
and burning fire guards.
