1% Inches Recorded
Here In Week Of
Slow Fall
Added to **»• rain* here last
week which amounted to .9 of an
inch in town, moisture falling
early this week totalled .85 of an
inch on the register at the Joe
Oberkampf store.
Good rains covered most of the
livestock producing sections of
West Texas, ranging from a half
inch to a reported six inches in
some localities. The fact that the
moisture fell slowly, thus soaking
into the ground thoroughly, doub-
led the benefit that would have
resulted from heavier falls.
Drouth parched ranges of
Crockett County, revived with
soaking rains, are now in shape to
produce spring feed, and a good
crop of weeds before spring, with
a few days of the warm sunshine
typical of this winter.
During the last six months of
1934, rainfall here amounted to
but a little better than two inch *s.
