Dnought. is more than a set of
statistics, a map with shaded
areas showing rainfall, or the
lack of it,- or a chart comparing
the current moisture deficiency
with that of the dust-bowl days
of the 1939's,
It is more than „official pro-
, nouncementsr of the economic ef,
foots, or advice to farmers and
ranchers on how to meet the
• long, dry ,spell which has cut '
deeply Ink; agricultural produc-
tion across' most or the northern
Great-Plain's:. The drought walks
heavily from South Dakota all
the way into the •=prairie prov-
inces of Canada, almost to, the
northern edge of the vast wheat-
producing area of North Ameri-
ca.
The drought is a. real thing to
the thousands of farmers and
their families who have seen
early-season promises, of bumper
crops slowly 'disappear before
the searing sun and soaring tem-
peratures which have sapped
the moisture from the soil and
''kept the 'scattered rains from
providing the needed replace-
ments.
*
These men and women, their
weather-beaten faces reflecting
droughts of other years, have
'set their jaws just a Jittle.,more,
firmly and, are, going ahead with
their constant battle against the
elements.
They are not running away.
From the farmers who stood in
the early morning sun of 'South ,
Dakota and pointed out ,how the
corn wilts a little more quickly
in the ,heat, to'the farmer who
came
a
into Saskatoon from his
fern]. hundred miles away to
see the Saskatoon Exhibition
and swap stories 'With other tar-
mars 'around" the agricultural
exhibits, it is a story of man
against the elements.,
"What do we do?" a 'farmer
repeated when asked that queS.,
lion in North Dakota. He
thought 'for a few mihutes, He
turned the question over: and
considered it, ,
"We do what we can. If 'we
have, any crop, no matter hew
small,, we harvest it. ' We may
make only fiVe or six' bushels
to the acre. If it isn't good'
enotigh fOr ?that; we 'tut it., and
make bay, ,-out of the stalks,"
Most ,of them have some live-
stock. They,,inighir be abie to
get,enOngh hay fr9m the grass-t
lams or from the grain crops
that did not get far enough to
harvest, They can use this• to
keep'their herds, or at least,part
of them, going until Utile to take
them to market in the fall,
Or they ,may have' to get ,their
cattle to market, now, before the
animals begin to lose weight,
or the hay li:rid feed NM Out, '
They may be like the Sas-
katchewan farni family who set
down one evening recently atter
the supper dishes ware all cletir-
ed away and had •a serious,
round-table discussion on whe-
ther to 'pull up and,go sothe-
where else.
The father said he and his
wife proposed that it Might be
better to go sothe*tiere else,
They had been through the
great drought of the 080's,
which was compounded by the
great depreSsion,. They admitted
that' they secretly did not want
to go away.
But they thought of their
three children, two daughters
and , a son. They thonght per-

regard to what portions of the
Mosaic law should be observed
by the Gentile Christians. H.
and Judas accompanied Paul and
Barnabas back to Antioch to de-
liver the decrees asking the Gen-
tiles to abstain from ,pollutions
of idols, from fornication, front
things strangled and from blood.
Judas and Silas, being prophets,
exhorted the brethren at Antioch
with many words and confirmed
them, When their mission was
completed, Silas chose to stay on
at Antioch. Later when Paul and
Barnabas could not agree with
regard to taking Mark on their
second missionary journer,'Paul,
chose Silas as his companion. To-
gether they journeyed throUgh
Asia Minor, delivering the de-
crees to the Christians in the
churches which had been esta-

their first missionary

"Any talk "comparing the pre-

thirties is ridiculous."
The Tribune says it is "non-
sense" ,to try and equate the
short period of dry weather in
1961 with the worldwide econo-
mic chaos and seven years of
drought in the thirties,
"All we need is a good rain-

this winter," said one county
agent in North, Dakota, "Then
we canstart oft next year with
moisture in the. ground, and 'if
the temperatures and rainfall
break just right, we can , soon
forget about this year."
Another farmer, this one in ,
Saskatchewan, commented as he
sat on a bile of hay talking with
ranchers and 'farmers in one of
the livestock buildings at -the
Saskatoon Exhibition:
"I'm not ,.so sure. This may be
the beginning of a new cycle of
dry weather. I'm not worried so
much about this year. I've still'
got plenty of surplus grain in.
'my granaries and bins,' Which I
.can sell when the government

dry spell this year will help cut
,down on the surplus.
"SW, I'm bothered about what
