Uiver valley orchardists are today
rejoicing at a continuing rainfall
which will allow them to continue
plowing until they have it completed.
During April tho ground was too wet

ifi-ied enough to allow them to get
onto their fields the warm weather
dried it out o rapidly that a number
began to believe that the ground
would be too dry to plow before they
bad the wrork completed. With this
shower of rain, however, all of the
laud will be gotten into splendid con

Sunday was cloudv but the expect
ed rain did not begin to fall until late
in the evening and then but gently.
In the morning hours the downpour
became heavier and at six o'clock the
rain fell heavily. Showers are pre
