Learn Amount of Snowfall.

In districts where the irrigation sys-
TEN is followed il is decidedly desir
able that the amount of snowfall in
the neighboring mountains during the
winter should be known with reason
able accuracy in order that the water
available for irrigation may be approx
mated These mountainous locali-
ties are generally uninhabited and
there is no opportunity for making
daily observations such as may be
done in the more accessible sections.
The most satisfactory results have
been obtained with what is known as
a snow bin"-a cubical box five feet
on a side. standing on frame ground.
The bin is fitted with a system Of
lowers on the inside to prevent the
wind from blowing out the snow and
to insure a level deposit within.
