AREA WATER SUPPLY SEEN POOR
FOR SUMMER IRRIGATION SEASON
The water supply outlook for
the 1959 Irrigation season (April
September) In Umatilla, Morrow,
and Gilliam counties continues
to be only fair to poor except
for irrigated lands served from
reservoirs which will likely have
satisfactory water supplies, ac
cording to a report released to
day by W T Frost, snow survey
supervisor for U S Department
of Agriculture, Soil Conservation
Service and Oregon agricultural
experiment station. 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. Most of the
