RAIN GREAT BENEFIT
To BEETS AND RANGE
Showers Throughout State Are
Reported to Have Done
Much Good.

From information received in Salt
Lake City from various parts of the
state, The storm of Friday night did
many thousands of dollars worth of
good to the range and sugar beet fields,
These rains and showers fell in various
parts Of Utah, Wyoming and Nevada.
They came rather late for the grain
fields and especially the dry farm crops,
large tracts Of which have already been
harvested, but proved timely for the
thousands Of acres of sugar beet lands,
and large areas of range lands, over
which cattle and sheep are now roam
ing in search of the native grasses.
At Garland, where there is an i'm
mense acreage in beets, the storm did Il
great amount of good. Richfield and
the other towns in tho Sewer country
also report beneficial storm. In yari-
ous parts of Idaho light showers will re-
suit in thousands of dollars increase
TO the farmers. 1t is said that In Utah
county 60 per cent OF the beet crop is
in good condition.
