COW HOLLOW By The Happy Farmer We suppose the most discussed subject in Cow Hollow at the pres ent time is water Some have too much and some not enough Last week Geo Gabrel's pump quit pumping so they run all afternoon and up into the night hunting some one to pull and repair it. They had no water Saturday Roy Rookstool who lives just over the ridge into Sunset Valley came ever into Cow Hollow in a big rush to get a crew to stack his clover. He has been holding off to thresh as soon as Lieutenant gets through The Lietenant has been threshing all the time he could for the past week but oh those rains. Too much water. A few of us went over Saturday afternoon and worked like demons to help get Roy's clover In the stack. He had a job topping beets for Monday and he wanted his clover safe first. At 5 o'clock we still lacked about a half hour of being done when It rained us out. Doc Raffington being crowded for time dug a hole with his team, to use for a cistern. He dug the hole 10 or 12 feet wide and about 25 feet long, but the subsoil was so hard that he didn’t get too deep so he put up some formes and con creted It above the ground on thr lower side of the hill. He stored his stock water and all was well and good until after the water was gone in the canal then the corner split in the concrete and spilled most of his water. No water. Monday morning Gilbert Ander son came over to borrow our wagon to stack Mort Wilsons hay. We ask him if the hay wasn’t pretty wet yet He said yes, but it was clear and a nice breeze blowing so it was drying fast and they would just haul it up to the corall and feed it right up anway. They had to "make hay while the sun shines," for they had his own hay, Johnnie Hamilton's hay and Doc Raffington's hay all down and ready to stack if it would only dry up Too much water The water went off in the ditch last week and we find that Clarence Nlccum’s cistern is the only real cistern in Cow Hollow which will not hold water The water line keeps falling until he thinks it will finally go dry He was giving so much ad vice on how to make and treat cis terns and then he turned the wa ter into his own while the concrete was still green and he supposes in fall ing at first it drilled a hole in the bottom of the green cement Dale Linbaugh didn't keep his pond full of water this summer so it now dry and he is now hauling water in a barrel down Cow Hollow from the ciphon Till It comes on in the spring he must water four cows, two horses and some pigs and chickens and for the house. Oh such a life and no water! Jim Trommel has 14 acres of clo ver in the shock and wants to thresh at once for he must raise some money now Doc Raffinton al so has a field of clover in the shock and wante to thresh. Clarence Ni ccum has 8 acres of hay he hasn't cut yet which he sure wishes was in the stack. Monday Elza Niccum cut his mil let for hay and got a good soaking in the rain. Oh the rain! Too much water or none at all. Earl Heton and family returned to their home In Cow Hollow last week. They have been at Emmett all fall working the fruit.
