QUITE A -CHANGE!'
.1.n scanning a September 14th
issue of The Sentinel of last year
-we--find the following heading,
"Summer Dry, September Rain-
less to Date". The article 'goes on
to saythat pastures were so
burned ` up that some farmers
were feeding stock .because of
the • `scanty pickings • they 'could
find in the fields. This is • quite
a contrast to the wet, and freak-
ish weather we have experienced
throughout the entire summer.
