South Dakota Farmers Urgently Need Help From Community
A circular from Geo F Kane editor of The Lake Andes Wave appeals for immediate aid to drought stricken farmers in his county. Eleven banks have closed as grasshoppers and drought ruined crops. Livestock starves for lack of feed with only straw and Russian thistles available. Red Cross promises to pay transportation for hay or grain in carload lots. The Arrow passes the plea to readers to act quickly as feed is scarce and finances are tight. The report also notes nearby social notes about visitors and a humorous remark about a typographical error in a health hint.
