Abundance of Snow
Assures Good Flow
for Irrigated Lands

Farmers and ranchers throughout Wyo-
ming, Nebraska and South Dakota and
other western sections where irrigation
furnishes the water supply for crops are
jubilant over the outlook for next year.
These reports indicate that the snow fail
in the mountains to the west, up to date,
is the heaviest ever known.
Throughout the mountain districts OF
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Colorado,
as a rule, prior to January, there is little
snow. This year. however, this rule has
been reversed and during November and
the first few days of December there has
been an immense quantity Of snow In
portions OF Wyoming it has been 50
heavy that wild animals have been driven
even out of the foothills to the plains.
In many localities It is estimated that
up to this time the snowfall for Novem-
Der and December aggregated two feet,
while the normal to this date is less than
one foot. While there has been much
snow, the weather has not been as cold
as usual
Railroad men report another fall of
snow through Illinois and over much of
eastern Iowa. 1t is said that at this
time i'm central Illinois the snow is eight
inches deep and that sleighing is the best
in years. This snow is said to extend as
far south as Springfield and north pretty
well up into Wisconsin.
