Clyde, irrigation engineer at the Utah experiment station. While the natural flow in streams is not quite so low at present, this reduction is rapidly approaching the 34 level. Reservoirs that were full at the beginning of the season appear to be the one hope of Utah farmers who have land served by these man-mad- e lakes. They carry acre-feof water which should be sufficient to handle the land they are to serve. Only the land dependant upon natural sources of water is suffering, says Dean Clyde, however if the present consumption of storage water continues these sources may also run et last Friday. Arthur L.
