usefulness to this respected ~
rancher of education and .=A
integrity and his abilities *
as dowser as water
witchcrS sometimes are known.
Mr.. Gobar adds a superduper feat
of his own in his Water-finding
methods. His forked rod not only
puts a figurative X to mark the spot
where water will be found, but by
sticking a green branch in the ground
at that point he can tell how deep
the water will be. The branch SWayS
uncertainty at first and then takes up
a rhythmic beat. Each down beat
means one foot of depth, says the re-
sourceful Mr. Gobar.
Mr.. Gobar, who is the unofficial
mayor and leading citizen of his COM
munity, has located 125- underground
streams, all verified by the digging
of wells that are still producing. He
appraises the cost of a we'll before
ground is broken. At one ranch, his
witch stick indicated that water was

Maybe it's because the electricity

be it's because the stick with sap is

He chose flat country, between
two hills. He took a two-fisted hold
on the forked tree limb and swung il
up at the angle at which you hold

'If l don't talk it's because I'm

That's so I'll remember how much

Mr.. Gobar's success is notable, bui
not unusual, because the use of witch

back through long periods OF time.
Ever since Moses with his rod

alike have insisted that some unexl
