With harvest quite well under way In North Morrow county and ttriu throughout the county running fast Hh the past wrt-k'a warm weather, th threat of fire U at hand. While we do not have the lush growth of rheat grass and other Inflam mable plants thU year at in some past year, there l enough to carry Rood fir If started. In driving through the county the past few days ! notice a num ber tf discs, der and other equipment that come In handy for fighting flrea located where they ore easy to get at In an emergency- Some farm sprayers nre out where easy to get at, while w.me are back In the cor ner without water In them. A farm sprayer, regardless of the pounds of pressure It will pro duce, Is one of the most effective means of fire fighting. Every ranch has a water tank or two that should be filled with water If there Is a pick up, truck or trailer to mount them on. If there Is no way of transportation the tank should be located where they can be easily thrown on a truck in an emergency. No harvest crew should have machines in the field without several back pumps or small pressure sprayers. One of our farmers told me last year that a three gallon pressure sprayer can carried on ills combine had helped him arrest at least one fire last year and would have prevented one serious fire the year before if carried. All of tha crew should be briefed on what their part is in case of a fire in the field. In case that preventative measures do not work and a fin is started most communities will have a lot of volunteer help. If a fire starts on the neighboring farm, look the situation over and do not go empty handed. If noth ing else is available a pall of wet sacks is a helpful fire quenching tool. It is well to have some pails or tubs with sacks soaking throughout the fire season. If more help is needed, call this office and we may be able to route some equipment, water tanks or other needed sup plies to the area. Our fire map in the office lists those facilities available as gathered in our sur vey a year ago. If fire occurs other than during office hours, call 6-5392 and I would be glad to do whatever is possible. The county spray truck Is available on call. Ed Baker, sprayer oper ator, has been directed to go to any fire during the day while he is out with the spray truck. He is keeping the truck at his home in Lexington overnight and weekends in order that it will be readily available if need ed. His phone number Is 3-8110. As a nart of the volunteer fire organization set up county wide) last year the court is now in xne process of mounting tanks and pumps on three Jeeps which will be on call. The plan is to place these in communities available on call as soon as they are com pleted. Morrow County Grain Growers has a good fire fighting unit that is generally the first one out on the job.

Between the security activities of State Police Chief II G Maison and the Agriculture Department's Director J F Short, cattle rust ling has lost its lure. However, from recent reports the rustlers have changed their technique or the old rustlers who were run out of the country are back a gain.
