Never since in the 80's has North Dakota been covered with so dense and luxuriant growth of vegetation. Thirty days from now this vegetation will be touched by Frost and be dry enough to burn. With an average < wind blowing, nothing shgrt of a sys- tematic: system of fire-breaks will stop a prairie fire such, as we are bound to have this fall. Mow a couple of swaths on cach side of a strip two hundred feet wide along your township lines where there is prairie, then when these swaths are dry burn them; then when the grass in tha center strip is dry—on a still day burn it out and you will have an adequate fire-break, If you are an old settler you can remember when the grass and weeds were as rank as they are this year what.a terrible thing a prairie fire was—nothing in the State could stop it-but the Mis- souri River. ,A lot-of people are go- ing to lose’their homes and feed this {all —.so gét busy — prepare fire | guards now, so it won’t be your pro- erty.
