Because of the unusually long dry spell the water plants on the North Shore have been pumping at unusually heavy rates since the early part of July. As the summer of 1945 was cooler and wetter than normal, the contrast between this and last summer‘s pumping is particularly marked.

Oddly enough they grow most luxuriantly at relatively low temperatures. â€" During the month of July the lake water temperaâ€" ture was below 60 degrees most of the time, and these plants grew in abundance. As Soon as Ine lake water temperature rose above 65 degrees, these plants practicalâ€" ly disappeared and better filter conditions resulted, IN TRIBUTE To A GOOD SERVANT shall be given to the fit.
