tation was above normal in some
parts of Western and Eastern
Oregon, but the irrigation outlook
did not improve for Central and
Southeastern Oregon, forcasters

through September is adequate for
the western part of the state. There
is not expected to be enough water
in the Crooked, Umatilla. Burnt,
Malheur and Owyhee watersheds,
except where stored water is
available.
Reservoirs- - will save many
Eastern Oregon farms, for the
reservoirs have 7 per cent greater
water supplies than average.
In April, precipitation was 120
per cent of average in Western
Oregon, about average In the
Klamath Basin and 110 per cent
of average in the Wallowa and
Blue Mountains. In Central and
Southeastern Oregon it was about
50 per cent of average.
The snow cover still is above
average in the Cascades and
Wallowas, but below average in all
other Eastern Oregon areas.
