4 Water three feet deep buries

By, DON SCANDRETT Canadian Press Staff Writer MEADOW LAKE. Sask. :CP)— some of the unthreshed © fields. ‘

It laps at the doors of barns and farmhouses. It has turned the earth réads to mire. the fields to swamps.

. There’i be no harvést this year, no feed for livestock during the winter, no money to plant next spring’s crop.

“I wake up in a cold sweat at night wondering what*can happen next,” said Bill Larocque, 59, father of three.

“My land is all swamp, ali my reserve hay ig under three feet of water.” ‘

Mr. Larocque, g district farmer for. 40 years, 300° acres of grain and 40 h of gatile. His immediate ‘problem..is*tack of winter feed for the cattle. Nor- mally, he grows his own fodder.

WINTER CAME EARLY

Wintef weather swirled into, the Meadow Lake region in early \Qc- tober as farmers prepared to harvest their best grain crop in 12 years. It left 30 inches of snow. Mild weather melted the snow

to disperse the water. The result was disaster for this town of 4,000 and the 900

katchewan, but agriculture offi- cials agree the Meadow Lake re- gion in the northwest was hard- est hit.

The wunseasongl snowstorms, that hit almost al} of the Prairies in:early October and continued in some areas as late as last week, brought disaster to many gain farmers. Northern Alberta was

Saskatchewan, particularly — the northern sections of the province, was struck hardest.

STILL IN FIELDS

It has been estimated officially that 117,300,000. = s, of ;wheat remain unthreshed . Pyairie fields. More than 95,000,000 bush- els of vats, 60,000,000, bushels of barley a 10,000,000 ‘bushels of flax remain in the open.

Here in the Meadow Lake re- gion 125°miles northwest of Prince Albert there are few sources of revenue aside from faming. Lumbering is the. only other industry.

, Mr. Larocque has spent 10 years building his small! herd. Al- ready, three weeks after the snow, he has shipped a number of heifers to market because he can't feed them.

“Isn't much use- erying.” said in an interview. ‘Guess we'll sell the cattle bit by bit.”

He also has pigs, which he plans to kill for food when things really get tough.

NOTHING SAVED “I've saved nothing,”” he ex- plained. “We'll live from day to

day. There is nothing else we! can do.” The district agriculture repre-

Pilots Blamed For Jet Crash

WASHINGTON (AP)—The civil aeronautics board said Tuesday inattention by the pilots probably caused a jot airliner, with 129 persons aboard, to plunge 5'2 miles while flying over the At-| § lantic near Newfoundiand last Feb. 3.

The report said the plane ai- most turned upside down and f nearly tore apart. The pilot lev-| Has eled it off at about 6,000 feet over the water.

“This acciden resulted from tne inattention of the co-pilot to the flight instruments during the captain's absence from the cockpit,’ the board said. .

“During this period the auto- ;ilet disengaged for reasons un- known.

“The co-pilot, unaware of this) aituation, permitted the aircraft to descend out of control) _. .”
