mates a 1949 crop of 81, 1852, 900 BUSH
els, 14,334,0 900 bushels less than the
1913 crop. BAE blamed insufficient
moisture at seeding time, the dryest
September and October in 81 years,
for the estimated decline, but re-
ported that heavy SHOWS in De-
cember throughout the winter wheat
belt have been very beneficial.

hind budget requests for $1,905,0 900
in construction funds for the coming

The board now has 81 separate

900 acres and would cost 5000, 900.
In addition, it outlined extensions
to Is existing projects which would
place water on an as yet undeter-
mined number of acres. The cost
would be ST, 1895, 600. Nineteen exist
ing projects are listed as in need of
repairs to cost 1920, 800. The work
ranges from cleaning canals to ma
jor work on dams and spillways.
Prime request on the list submit
ted for legislative consideration is
$135,000 to complete the Lower
Musselshell canals in Musselshell

be used until diversion dams, head
gates and bridges are constructed.
When the new funds are made
available 14,500 new acres will be
irrigated.
