The fire started about 10 a.m. from a smouldering haystack on the Dutcher farm eight miles south of Ericson. The stack had been burned out a couple of days before but a 50-mile-an-hour wind Friday whipped up embers. Before it was stopped the fire covered an area some four or five miles wide and 12 to 15 miles long. Only one farm building was destroyed but hundreds of tons of hay were lost and many sec tions of grass land burned over. The wind from the southeast sent the blaze roaring up the val ley between the Calamus river on the west and the Cedar river on the east. Backfiring finally halted the fire at highway 53, which runs east and west between Burwell and Ericson. Fire departments were called from Ord, Burwell, Scotia, Gree ley, Bartlett, Elgin and Ericson. Warren Lincoln, member of the Ord fire department and en giner at the city light plant, said the fire traveled so fast fighters couldn’t keep up. Mr. Lincoln said they were able to save the H ranch layout of Charlie Peterson northeast of Ord. unjujMJZS IrJJL Li? •Palatable—Cattle Like lt° •Makes Cattle Drink More Water • Helps Put on Fine Finish at Low Cost •No Waste-Pours Like Grain Summer or Winter You’ll like these convenient-to-feed pellets rich in molasses sugar... for feeding with home grains or scatter o ing on the range.
