Linn County Crops
Survive Dry April
Albany Albany had the dri
est April on record since 1939.
but the first two days of May
looked as though winter weath
er had called back. During the
whole of last month only .67
Inch of rainfall was recorded,
but over the week-end Seth T.
French, local U.S. weather ob
server, recorded a total of 1.09
inches.
No damage to Linn county
crops has been reported so far,
O. E. Mikesell, county exten
sion agent, reported in speak
ing of the rain. Undoubtedly
more good than harm was caused
by the heavy precipitation.
Last month 12 clear days, 15
cloudy days and three partly
eloudy days were recorded by
the local observer. Maximum
temperature for April was 79
degrees, recorded on April 14.
Tk, minimum fmruratnr nf
12 degrees was registered o
1he morning of April 3.
Catfish Appear on
No. Lincoln Beaches
While Salem fishermen were
bemoaning the lack of success
at the opening of the season Sun
day, fish eaters of the coast
were having all they wanted of
catfish which they "caught," of
all places, at several points
along the north Lincoln beaches
The catfish apparently went
astray from the fresh water at
Devils lake and started out to
sea. However many of them
were cast up on the beach with
the fishermen sharing the unex
pected catch with the gulls is
not known.
Pioneer coast residents claim
that this is the first time that
they had seen catfish, and thou
sands of them, tossed on the
beach sands.
