Show Dusty Roads. D. L. Waltcis and Thos Kerr of Wellsville wcie In Logan Thursday. Mr. Walters Is of the opinion that tho roads are dustier now than they have been for many )oars. He sa)s that this summer lemlnds him of the kind that was common herein the sixties, when rain never came between the time the snow melted In the spring and came again In the fall. He well remembers the Hist attempt at dry farming In the vicinity of Wellsville. He handled a thiesherln those da)s and threshed the first crop oil the dry farm. The wheat was not more than a foot in length and with the heads half-tilled, the wheat blowing away as chaff. Such crops were the result of each years' cultivation until the spring rains began to come and finally the dry farm became a paying proposition. proposi-tion. Mr. Walters is of the opinion that another season of this kind will bring the old grasshopper plague again. Ho says that the pests have already eaten everything in sight In places along the foot-hills and arc now destroying certain orchaids. |
