Nebraska Fires Signal Wheat Straw Drought Relief
Across Nebraska fires blaze along the wheat belt as straw stacks are burned to clear land for next crops. Farmers, facing record straw, prefer disposing of the material to free ground for fall or winter wheat. Some use two-horse rope methods to pull straw heaps into fields before ignition. Many see no practical use for straw in feed or bedding and accept burning as the only option.

Dam Gives Way at Rancocas Creek Mill Dam
Mount Hotly Aug 28 The mudsills of the mill dam on Rancocas Creek failed releasing a flood that backed up water and flooded lands for about an hour. The dam’s base was eaten away and the upper portion hangs unsupplied. Boating parties nearby escaped with help as crews shored the dam to hold it until repairs. The outage will halt the planing mill and grist mill operations until fixes are made and sportsmen face losses as game birds and fish die in the mud and downstream.
