BONUS WATER--Korean veteran Hubert Drgac and his dog, Fred, look out over a field which they soaked up with other people's rain. Drgac build a modified syrup-pan terrace system and diverted water from a rampaging creek to spread over his fields. While the creek was running, Drgac was running too, shovel in hand, making sure his terraces and spillways worked right. The dog wasn't much help, but he was a heap of company.

WATER BONANZA--This well flowed 880 gallons a minute when brought in three weeks ago. Drilled by W. J. Drgac and his sons, Albert, W. C. and Hubert, shown above left to right, the well furnished water with which the Drgacs, dairy farmers, saved desperately-needed oats thought killed by the March freeze. The well now flows a steady 450 gallons a minute.
