WATER SCARCITY
GREATLY FEARED

Section Director Alps of the
climat biological service Of the
" Gather bureau hat issued snow
fall bulletin covering the river
drainage basins Of Nevada and
that portion of California which
is included in the upper basins Of
the Truckee Carson and Walker
rivers. TIE season to date is one
of the driest since the records
were started some "a years ago.
September and October were
dry months. The precipitation in
the Carson and Walker river
basins was practically nothing. In
the high elevations of the Truckee
and Humboldt river basins the
amount was nearly 50'per cent Of
the normal, but in the valleys it
was only about Is per cent of the
usual, amount. October closed
with no snow on the ground, ex-
cept at high elevations of the
Sierra Nevada and Ruby mount
anis, where there was an average
depth Of six inches.
The snJwfall was nearly normal
in the high mountains of Elko
county in November, but less than
half the normal in ecember.
During November there was only
about 40 per cent Of the usual
amount of snowfall in the upper
basins of the west portion, while
in December about 60 per cent of
the normal was recorded. At the
end of December the snow cover
ranged about 20 inches on the east
side of Lake Tahoe to 40 inches in
the west portion of that drainage
area, and averaged ::32 inches over
the entire basin. The average
depth on the ground in the upper
portions of the Carson and w ak er
river basins was about % inches.
The snowfall in January was less
than has been known for many
year S. In the eastern Sierras it
was about one-third of the normal.
This amount was in marked con-
trast to that of January, 1911,
when the depths were the greatest
since the heavy snowfall of jan
uary, 1890. Low temperatures
prevented melting until about
January. s, when "a change to
abnormally warm weather oc-
Cured. Absence of high winds
prevented rapid melting and
while the depth on the ground at
the end Of January was less than
at the close of the preceding
month, there was no lack of water
in the high mountain districts, as
the gradual melting caused by high
dry temperatures was not sufficient
to cause runoff. Measurements
of the depth and water content Of
the snow indicate that the amount
on the ground Jan. !, 1912. was
about 45 per cent of the average
for that date.
In the past "a years there have
been three other dry seasons. The
winter Of 10000 was the driest
to Jan. 81. but the heavy Preci-
pitation which occurred in Febru-
airy and March raised the seasonal
amount to nearly normal. The
early part of the season of 1904
05 was another dry one, but Febru-
airy and April were very wet
months. The winter Of 1907. O8
was one II the driest on record,
Dect mber being the only month

) PRUNING FOR STEM
; END ROT OF CITRUS .
, BY H. S. Fawcett. !
; > . . . = = = a = . . . . I

Thorough pruning has been found
to be good method of combating
withertip, and is also recommended as
an important step in the prevention
of stem end rot. Since the withertip
fungus is nearly always present along
with that of stem END rot, the follow
ing recommendations for withertip
viii hold good for both diseases.
How to Prune.
It is Of the highest Importance in
pruning for withertip to cut out so
much Of the wood as to get rid, not
only of the bare branches, but also of
all branches that show signs Of the
disease. In severe cases of withertip
there are seen, in addition to bare
branches. many limbs on (which the
yellowish leaves are about to fall
Close examination will show that the
disease is slowly making its way back
and poisoning these limbs. This poi
soning may start from an infection at
the tip, or from an injection on a side
branch lower down. from which the
poisonous effect has spread to the
main limb. Sometimes only one side
of a tree, or only one branch, is Sc
verely affected, while the remainin 9
part of the tree is uninjured. The dis
lance to which the disease has pro-
crossed can frequently be seen by the
presence of new shoots with sickly
yellow color. Frequently the leaves
fall from such shoots before they are
half grown, leaving the bare young
shoots to dry up. Whatever may be
the conditions, it is important to get
rid of all these poisoned limbs. To
prune only half heartedly usually
makes matters worse, rather than
better. When pruning, care should
be taken to make smooth cuts, usually
at the base of a branch or limb, so as
not to leave any projecting stubs
Infection in these stubs is likely to
occur when the withertip fungus is
present. Paint the larger cut surfaces
with carbolineum or pine tar.
The grove should be given unusual
care after severe pruning Of this
kind. It should be fortified, so as TO
bring about a vigorous healthy growth
and to render the trees resistant TO
further attacks of the fungus.
When TO Prune.
The best time to prune is from the
middle of December to the middle Of
January. The second best time is in
July. 1t is important not to prune
while new growth is putting out Wig
orously, for this is almost sure to re-
suit in injury The looks of the trees
should not be a primary considerl-
ton, but every part that shows the
presence of the disease should be re-
moved.
The beneficial results already OBJ
tanned on hundreds of acres of groves
treated in this way. under the direc-
ton of experiment station workers
