Snow Pack Low - Irrigation Water Shortage Farmers who lm spring run t tt from the stream of Morrow county to Irrigate should be ttor iiijr water now, reports N. C An oYfwifi. county agent. This Is to compensate fr the lack of anow i.a.h in Arbuckle mountain and . carry Hie crops through the dry was.n. Water roni-t from the Ar burkle mountain anow pack are at an all time low, according to Ralph Richards, conservationist who measured 23 3 inches last wk, Water content of this pack h only 7.75 Inches, an all time low. Last year It was 9 Inches; the average is 11.7 Inches. The highest water content was In 10'j3 when It was 17.1 Inches. Anderson sold that prospects for an excellent crop now exist. The lick of snow In the county was offset by the heavy recent rains and unless rain should skip the county in May and June the crops will be good. o reason to expect Hl condition exists. as normally enough rain falls In those two months to finish ma turing the crops. Irrigation farmers may have a different picture If they do not start conserving their surplus now by Impounding. With the low water content on Arbuckle the normal late spring run-off Just will not occur, but they can puarantec enough water If they make provision for It at this time.
