Spring came to Washington at

but full of promise.
The cool weather, which will

Rain Is Welcomed
Today's rain was welcomed by
area farmers and gardeners, who
are hoping 1855 will break a
three-year pattern of dry weather
which has handicapped plant
growth.
To date in 1855, the area has
received inches of life-giving
rain. This is 1.41 inches under
the normal" precipitation as
determined by the Weather
Bureau.
Farmers in the area, faced
with a lower water table-the
depth below ground at which
running water can be found
are, unless the rainfall increases,
in the midst of another growing
season without enough water.

Sprinq Arrives Wet and Chilly,
Cheering Horried Farmers

Last summer, the lack of water
drove some local farmers out of
business.
Encouraging figures from the
Weather Bureau show that Feb
ruary and March were wetter
than usual. The deficiency in the
years total to date comes from a
dry January. Crops that are not
growing in January still rely on
the overall rainfall to maintain
the water table.
To date in March. the rainfall
has totaled 2.56 inches. This is
.83 inches above normal.
Good News for Farmer
February precipitation totaled
1913 inches. IA above normal.
That is good news for the farmer.
But January is a different story.
The whole month logged only 81
inches of rain. That is 293
inches below normal.
The cumulative lack of water
last year turned crops and lawns
brown and made miserable the
lives of cattle raisers. Pastures
withered under the burning sun
and dry winds. leaving cattle
raisers to feed the animals on
food set aside for the winter or
sell. If they sold, the cattlemen
faced a declining market.
