Firefighters Save Wheat Crops in Bitter Adot Area
A prairie fire near Bitter Adot crossed Birch Creek road overnight, threatening prime dry land wheat. Firefighters, aided by forest service crews from Hamilton and locals, halted the blaze at the north side of the Harry Smith ranch, saving 16 stacks of wheat. Ranches like L. E. Peterson and Edson Smith were in danger, with 300 acres of pasture burned and a careless smoker blamed for the start. Harvesting continued in the drought-affected district, with expected yields of 20 to 25 bushels per acre.
