THE DROUGHT SITUATION IN
MORGAN COJTNTV

Each day as 1T passes bringing no
rain is rapidly bringing our county
into critical situation. Most sec
tlons, OF the county are not in crit
ical stage yet, but we are approach
ing general crisis, due to shortage
OF water for stock to drink Some
sections are actually without water
now, and forced sales of stock have
been made. Relative to the feed
situation, it is now apparent that
even with plenty of rain from now
on, roughage will have to be pur-
chased or approximately two-thirds
OF the stock in the county will have
to be moved. So far as can be as
certained, there appears to be about
one-third of normal supply OF
roughage available for winter feed,
and if we get no rains so that this
rOughage has to be fed during Aug
ust and September, the winter sup
ply will be most severely depleted.
In the opinion of our county
bankers, if the roughage necessary
to winter normal amount of stock
has to be purchased, financial as
sistance will have to be given to
practically every purchaser some
time before spring. The bankers
feel that local banks would be un-
able to carry this burden, without
assistance from outside the county.
There is no question but what it
will pay every individual to hold
all the stock that he possibly can,
as long as he can, because we may
get rain, and prices may strengthen
as the forced selling of stock con-
tinues, and there is a possibility of
financial assistance to purchase
roughage from outside the county.
At any rate, If you know of any
who apparently have to sell their
stock at these ruinous prices unless
they get some assistance, tell them
to get in touch with their county
agent before they sell.

Citizens Seek Relief

A petition was presented to the
council at it's regular monthly
meeting Friday night, signed by
many residents, which called atten-
tion to the very unsanitary condi-
tion of McConnelsville run, in the
Flat Iron addition. The petition was
presented by DR.. Ralston who dis
cussed the matter, as did also Ed
itor Matson, and Health Commis-
sioner j. B. Naylor. The matter
was referred to the sewer commit
tee of the council, and a citizens
committee, to assist in working out
some plan, whereby condition COM
planned of could be remedied.
This would seem to be just COM
plant on the part of citizens, since
conditions in question are very like
ly to bring about a disease epidemic.
