inch of rain" 1t may aid such to follow
this curious calculation: An acre is
equal to 6,272,6 $40 square inches; an inch
deep of water on this area will be as many
cubic inches of water, which, at 227 to the
gallon, is $4,000 gallons.
This immense quantity of water will
weigh 100000 pounds, or 100 tons. One
hundreth of an inch (.01) alone is equal
