So, wc may ndd n good many thou Blind dollars more to the already moro than n third of n million dollars loss on fruits nnd livestock nlono Inst year. "Drouth," ns Superintendent Itunynrd summarizes it, explains it nil. Drouth, with no provision to overcome it, hns mado our farmers poor. When tllo farmers aro short of crops and, therefore, short of money, everybody else in the vnlley is short of money. That'w what inures hard llmoq. Drouth in n semi-arid country is not an occasion for Mii-prise, nuy morn than n cyclone is in n country subject to hurricanes. Ono can't make nny provision that will head off n cyclone, but, thn umaxlng thing is that, in a country abundantly sup plied with water, there is mi provision ngaiust drouth. How About I'oultiy? Asked as to tho mainly of poultry nnd noultry products, tho market su perintendent said: "All kinds of poultry and eggs short. Couldn't supply tho demand." From other sources comes thn in formation that poultry feed was too high in price to justify enlarging the Hooks. Poultry teed on tho fnrm too high lor profit in tho fnrm flock! Why J "Drouth!" So tho effects of thn drouth may bo traced oven directly to the short ago in tho pinto passed iu church. And tho good deacon would say, if questioned : "Drouth! Ood gnvc us an ahuiwh nnce of whtcr in thn Inkc,1. and streams of thn mountains, i,u( (, fanners didn't fetch it to the rnuehes and thn drouth burnt their crops up because of their failure to ninutfest gratitude for tho bounty so scucioun ly offcrctl."

At the Thursday meeting of tho court the order for Smith's re moval wip signed by Commissioners Leover and Madden. County Judge Ton Velle protested the order. According to Mr. Smith, the dead 1 ' ire c was about in tho center of the rond, a little toward the Stewart side of the highway. It was in the way, nud he offered it for its removal. The offer was accepted bv Dick Ilnntlc- berger of tho Stewart orchard, who started to work cutting the tree down. All unknown to Mr. Smith, it seems that E. H. Ilanlcy wanted the tree, and tho next day, Mr. Smith says, Mr. Ilanlcy told him that he had been "fired," and that' he, Ilanlcy, had bought the tree from the county court. Itond Supervisor Wclchcr, noting' under orders from the com missioners, cut tho treo down. There had been nn informal meet ing tho day beforo of the county court over tho Ashland hill railroad crossing with State Highway Engin eer Cantine, and Mr. Smith states that he found upon inquiry that Mr. Madden had put tho question of his discharge to a vote, Commissioner Lccvcr voting with him for Smith's dLhnrgc, A third party then entered the field. Mr. Willcts, owner of the tract upon which tho Stewart 1ioum is located, employed Attorney Lincoln McCor mack to bring suit fur the tree, claim ing that it was his projcrty, as tho tree was 011 his side of the road, nnd thul the county hnd no jurisdiction, a fact at onco admitted by the court, so, as MY. Smith says: "Mr. Willcts get the treo and I get the nx. I hnd no idea there was anyone wanted the tree, nud followed the customary practice to save tho county the expense Of its removal. I know that Commissioner1 Leevcr hns long sought my scnlp, but no charges were preferred against me and I was given no hearing." The removal order meiely stntcs that SinithV. services aro dispensed with, ns a londmuster is not needed in winter.
