Rain COMES JUST
IN time TO SAVE
Spring Crops in Valley Were Burning
When Storm Came. Winter
Wheat Down

A rain that on the whole was OF |
immeasurable benefit to the valley
started late Tuesday afternoon and
fell internationally during the night
and is still falling as we go to press
The storm was both benefit and a
detriment, as late season showers IN
variably are. To the spring grain
farmers, who constitute the majority
of the valley, the rain was a god
send. In all parts of the valley the
wheat, oats and barley on the gravel
lands was beginning to burn, and
! even on the richer soils where irriga-
ton was delayed the yield stood
good chance to be greatly cut down.
/ The extreme heat of the past week,
combined with daily east winds, had
taken out nearly all of the early July
moisture and crops were actually sui
fering. In some places where the
grain had not started to burn, 1t was,
however, a surety that the. gram
would not fill properly without more
moisture.
Pastures were everywhere getting
brown and needing moisture, and the
second hay crop was likewise badly In
need of either water or rain. Inc
ground had become so dry during the
past week or so that it was difficult
to irrigate; indeed some good lrrlgat'
ors report that two acres a day has
heen their limit. Great cracks hao
opened up in the grain fields, especial
ly those late planted.
Most of the first crop of hay IN the
|, valley was safely up before the RAN
: came and the moisture is just whaI
: is needed to make easier the irrlgat
ing of the second crop. The hay ylel'
E has been very spotted, some ranene'
j reporting the heaviest IN history Du

+ short crop.
As an instance OF how dry 1t ha
e become and how low was the water,

r, streams of the valley were lower tna
