JOHN WASHBURN WRITES
John L. Washburn writes from
Duluth, Minn.: “Forest fires are
bad all around us. The air is
heavy with smoke and the sun is
red. Small armies of forest rang
ers, C. C. C. boys, volunteer fire
fighters '■nd some conscripted ones
are working hard to keep the fires
under control. Many farms have
been destroyed. Some farmers sav
ed their household goods by piling
them in the middle of alfalfa fields.
Alfalfa roots go deeper so the
drought has not kil.ed the growth
as it has otho feed.*. The alfalfa
therefore was green and did not
burn.
