Court Votes
To Repair
Fire Truck
Cottle County Commission-
ers, June 21 , decided to repair
the county fire truck which
was damaged fighting a
range fire June 18, instead of
purchasing a replacement.
In discussing the one item
on the agenda of the special
meeting, considering the
purchase of a county fire
truck, the merits of repairing
the existing truck outweighed
the expenditure of purchasing
another machine, in the opin-
ion of the court.

"It's just wonderful!" "It's
great!” "It's a life saver for
the farmer!" "We thank the
good Lord for it!" were expres-
sions heard after Saturday
and Sunday's rainfall here.
The slow-falling rain, ac-
companied by a minimum of
thunder and lightning and
less wind, accounted for as
little as a half-inch of mois-
ture at Dunlap, .70 for B. G.
Hoffman, seven miles east of
Paducah; .80 at B. L. Smith
Jr.'s place at Ogden, to as
much as 3 1/2 inches on the
farm belonging to Clyde Har-
rison at Buck Creek.
A total of 1.59 inches was
recorded in the National Wea-
ther Service gauge here, but
an unofficial 2 inches fell in
south Paducah.
Whatever the amount, the
rainfall restored life to
plants, whether in the yard,
garden, pasture or field, and
lifted the spirits of everyone.

Concession Stand Wheat Harvest
Complete In
This County
By Ora Lee Frazier
A total of 28,155 bushels of
wheat from the 1988 harvest
was received at B&B Grain
Co., according to figures ,re-
leased by that firm this week.
Steve Beck, owner-man-
ager, said that this averages
out to 14 bushels to the acre for
the county.
The yield for this year's
wheat was considerably grea-
ter than Beck said he had
anticipated earlier in the
season because of the short
supply of moisture and other
factors.
Rain, Rain, Rain!
By Ora Lee Frazier
through the soil that is now pre-
pared for its growth, farmers
said.
The replenished moisture
will also allow producers to
plant Sudan and milo.
In King County, where cat-
tle are the principal crop, and
stock tanks have been as dry
as the pasture grass, rainfall
amounts over the weekend
climbed to as much as 3 1/2
inches at the South Camp of the
6666 Ranch. Taylor Camp,
however, received only about 1
1/2 inches, Mrs. Larry Fitz-
gerald, 6666 Supply House
operator, said. Rain was still
falling sporadically there
Monday afternoon, Mrs. Fitz-
gerald said.
There have been no reports
of any damage — "the dry soil
just soaked it up."
More rain is needed to fill

K-ago July happenings.

U month was called Quintilius, or "fifth month," March
iig the first month.
■he first United States postage stamp was issued in July,
IF'
uuly 4, Independence Day, was sometimes the most
|erable day of the year for horses, tormented by all the noise
I by boys who threw firecrackers at them.
Bohn Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died July 4, 1826 -
|50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
____|he Statue of Liberty was presented to the United States on
z 4,1884.

in own as the "year without a summer" in the Northeastern
ted States, July and all other months of 1816 saw snow and
illing frost. People wore heavy coats in July and moved
ty for fear of starvation. A Professor Henry Stommel
ibuted the probable cause as an eruption of the Indonesian
