Service, Oregon agricultural ex

eer. State of Oregon, and re-
mains slightly less than "aver
age" and on down to "poor" for
late season water supplies In
most of the small streams such
as Birch, Butter, Willow, Rhea,
nd Rock Creeks.
Lands served from Cold
Springs reservoir are assured a
full buddIv from that source. Mc
Kay reservoir Increased its stor
age during March to 43,000 acre
feet.
Water content of the moun
tain snowoack is far below nor

The Lucky Strike snow course
Is the "brightest spot" of ail
with 11.6 Inches of water In the
snow, exactly the same as last
year at this date.
The soil mantle In local water
sheds Is well "primed" except
at the higher elevations under
the snowpack in the southwes
tern part of the area.
Cold Springs reservoir Is full
and McKav is 76 percent of its
usual amount but Is not expec

Forecasts of flow of the Uma
tilla river at Pendleton for the
Aarll-SeDtember period have
been dropped slightly to 88 per
cent of average. Forecasts for
flow of the Walla Walla South
Fork and McKay Creek remain
the same as last month at 86

The smaller streams in the
Walla Walla basin, such as Dry
Creek, Dugger, Johnson, Mua

water supplies in early season.
Statewide. Oregon's water sup
ply outlook for the spring and
summer months of I960 has
changed only slightly during
March but still varies from "low
average" conditions to "poor"
conditions. Heavy March rains
brought a satisfactorily "prim

added good catches of water to
many reservoirs but Increased
the snowpack only at the high
