The Cover
- A lazy late-summer day, a swimmin’ hole, a couple of kids lazin’ away the unhurried hours. Since the water is barely bathtub deep, imagination has to blend with their swimmin’. But shucks, it’s a logy-headed boy indeed who can’t dream three feet of water into thirteen feet, and then don his diving gear and marvel at mysterious things he sees away down in the hazy depths. Here on Oregon’s eastern slopes it’s a dry country, and men have to quench its thirst. In the highlands there is a lake; last spring, melting snow filled it brimming full and all summer the irrigation ditches, fingered downward as you see, have nourished the valleys and kept them green and gold. That hay feeder, artist John Clymer agrees, will need a refill soon to keep the livestock alive.
