Heavy Rains Do
Magic Over
Glacier County

Drenching rains over practic-
ally all of Glacier County during
the last 10 days has given magic
impetus to agricultural crops as
to assure their steady growth
through the summer,
While rainfall often is spotty,
especially on the Blackfeet Res
ervation, the present one has
touched every area. 1t began at
a time when surface moisture
had all but disappeared.
Wheat, oats, barley and flax
are reported to be in healthy
stands, and, barring damage
from hail during June, a month
given especially to hail attacks,
excellent crops are most promis-
ing.
Stockmen are jubilant at the
prospects of a plentitude of wild
hay and alfalfa, the latter crop
until rainfall began, having been
unpromising.
Opinion is that precipitation
over the Reservation will approx
innate between 81 and 4 inches.
Also blessed because of it are
the forested areas, which rapid
ly invite disaster when conditions
of aridity develop. However,
continuous vigil must be main
tanned, since lightning fires are
a threat every season, regardless
of pains-taking care of human
kind.
