I have been talking to friends in the upper midwest about theses terrible wild fires in westrn OK, part of the Texas panhandel and S W Kansas. They have heard very little about them. Per the TV tonite, there has been 750,000 + acres burned sense a week ago Mon. Winds as high as 50 -60 MPH were recorded on several days with very low humidty.This part of OK is very rough, rugged country that is hard to get to it with brush trucks and any other fire equp t. Also very sandy and easy to get stuck in too. About no 'tilled' fields to stop a fire either. Our local TV has had pretty good coverage of the fires. There has been a huge amount of hay hauled into the area already, Not only the hay is gone , but there is almost all of the grass is burned too.Another thing to think about is that lots of fences are gone now too. A very sad picture. Many cattle have had to be put down due to there hides are burned, eyes are not good and there mouths and throats are affected . One rancher had to destroy about 150 head of cattle due to fire damage. We cannot help to " feel " for these people. Some of this info was given to me first hand from friends who live in that area and were involved in the fire fighting effort. clint

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
