A number of the farmers in the
vicinity of Nehawka have been hav
ing to haul water from town to their
farms for the watering of their
stock, among them George Lopp,
William August, Conant Wolph and
Dan Anderson. This makes the feed
ing of cattle and, for that matter,
care of just the ordinary farm stock,
an expensive and tedious task. There
is an old saying, "You never miss the
water till the well runs dry," and
it seems particularly apropos here.
