Tuesday Snow Survey Shows W ater Content High LaMar Jorgensen of the oil conservation Service has just completed snow surveys for May 1st. The snow pack is a low of 129 per cent at Seely Creek on the drainage to a high of 234 percent of average at Gooseberry Ranger Station in Salina Canyon. The 129 per cent snow pack at Seely Creek is a true picture of the winter snowfall. The 237 per cent reflects a cold spring and delayed snow melt. Because of the delayed snow melt and above average snow pack it would be wise to clean the creek channels, especially through the towns and prepare canals and irrigation ditches for above average streamflows. This should be a good year for starting new seedlings of alfalfa and pasture. The Mammoth Ranger Station snow course above Fair-viehas 75 inches of snow and 28.6 inches of water.
