WALK AN OLD WOOD ROAD

THREE things a man should have

woodland pond, and an old wood

can relax and shed the tensions and
pressures of the marketplace.
A wood road is place to walk,

Last Month Driest
March I'm AZ Years

With only slightly more than an
inch of rainfall last month was the
driest March in AZ years and the
third driest in the 63 years of wealth
er records kept by Ray Burkholder,
official area weather observer.
March 1910 with a quarter inch and
March 1895 with 81 of an inch are
the only months of March with less
precipitation.
The dry month was an extension
of the drought of the past seven
| months in which precipitation has
totaled only 1908 inches, only Sc per
cent of the normal of 1874 inches
for this period.
II such a deficiency should occur
during the growing season, we would
be in much the same position as the
drought stricken farmers in some OF
the mid-western states, according to
Mr. Burkholder.
SPITTLEBUGS are expected to be
more abundant this year than they
were in 1856 according to the Ohio
State University extension entomolo-
gists.
