BRADEN-BELL TRACTOR and EQUIPMENT COMPANY Pape Five DRIEST MARCH With precipitation of .65 inch re ported by Len L Gilliam, govern ment observer, for March, a new record dry for many years was re corded. The month went moisture less until the very end when a few showers ushered in other showers for the start of April. Both Febru ary and March were short in pre cipitation, Mr. Gilliam reported, and reports from the timbered area show a very low snow supply that bodes ill for irrigating water later in the season. Crops generally, to date, are not suffering as a good supply of reserve moisture is in the ground, and the new wheat is presenting the best appearance in several years, stands being generally heavy and free from weeds.
