May rainfall throughout the state
was deficient and the early part Of
June saw a continuation of dry, hot
weather. However, beginning June
u and continuing at intervals through
the third week of the month, pre-
cipitation was general. This mOis-
rure relieved the shortage Of range
water and altered the outlook for
summer grass to a great extent.
While cattlemen and sheepmen are
much encouraged at the range pros
pect, considerable improvement will
have to take place in some localities
in order to prevent a shortage of
range feed later in the season.

Frightening prospect for good sum-
mer range. brought about by the

1000 Register for
Rotary at Poland

Poland Spring. Aug. 20-So great
has been the registration for the an
nual conclave of the 31st District
Rotary International. which includes
Rhode Island and Eastern Massachu-
sets, to be held at Poland Spring on
Sept. 81, % and %, that it will pro-
badly have to be divided into two
sections with the same list of speak
ers for the two sessions. If this is
done it will probably mean that the
second section will meet on Sept. 80
and Oct. l and 2.
Already approximately 1000 dele
gates and their ladies have registered
for the event and the capacity of the
three hotels at Poland Spring at that
time will be only about $50. 1t is
believed that the registration will
still further increase so that it will
be necessary to make two sections
of approximately 600 each.

and they certainly deserve credit for
trying.
1t has been more than two weeks
sine they left Ashland and headed
into the wilderness in their car
equipped with complete camping
outfit. They persevered in their en-
| deavor. chopping out big down trees
and bridging mud holes, until finally
they got as far as Township ~
Range 0, about halfway between
Ashland and the main Allegash
River.
The underbrush and tangled
growth, coupled with severe rains
which softened the already bad roads
here stopped them altogether, and
they were forced to fight their way
back to Ashland.
1t will probably be several years
before this feat is successfully ac-
complished.
