Moore county complaints of dry ' ground have been heard..- Some of the crops are affected. '' Naturally about 85 per cent of the ; water that falls in rain in the sandy ' section. goes into the ground: That moisture keeps the ground damp right down to the solid rocks.

But this is not all that is in signt on the. Knollwood development. Judge W. A.
