Abt 1967 Stomping it out

The fields behind the house were great in the late summer. The wheat was golden and the grasses were good and dry. For fun us kids used to light a match and see how big the circle of fire could get and still be able to stomp it out. Depending on how many we had in our party, the circle could get up to about 10 feet in diameter before we felt it getting too big. One day it got out of control so we all ran and had someone call the fire department so the barns did not burn down too. Again, we had the stupid meter out quite often taking a reading on our family activities.
