Increase In the mountain snow-pack during February was slightly above nor mal. Water content of the mountain snow-cover is still far short of a normal winter's accumulation. Q F COURSE, when you buy health pro tection for your family, you want the best, most complete, most reliable plan your money can buy. Which one will give you the kind of protection you need? This year's snow accumulation Is only 57 percent of a normal win ter's total. The soil-mantle under the mountain snow-pack is well wet ted. Cold Springs and McKay reservoirs have 25 percent more than the normal storage. Inflow to McKay during February was especially good. These reservoirs should furnish satisfactory water supplies this season. Forecasts of April-September runoff have been revised slightly downward to 61 percent of nor mal on McKay creek and slightly upward on the Walla Walla to 77 percent of normal. This Is be cause snow-cover at certain key stations, given weighting in the firecastlng techniques, increased in different amounts during Feb ruary. Flow of the Uamilla is fore cast at 80 percent of normal for the irrigation season.
