FARMLAND IN GRANVILLE TAKES A 
TURN FOR THE WORST

Farmlands in Granville, once some of the lushest in the county, are being hit by a string of bad luck. This spring, the land has proven dry and inhospitable, and local agriculturist Horace Spitz surmises that underground water sources may have unexpectedly dried. “There’s no clear explanation, the climate has been the same,” he stated on Monday. Moves were made to attempt an emergency irrigation system, but due to limited time and delays, farms have already been reduced to dusty landscapes. With no clear scientific explanation, some townsfolk are looking elsewhere for reason; “Bad luck, that’s what,” states a local elderly woman, “We got bad luck in the air. Something’s off, and if you don’t believe me, look out your windows.” It seems that one of the more negative results of failing land is the unrest to follow among the public. Granville can only hope its town benefactor, Joe, will have some ideas for a solution.
