Show FARMERS GET BENEFIT BY REASON OF RAINS In the weekly weather and crop sum-: sum-: mary issued yesterday by the local office of the weather bureau reference is made ' to the considerable benefit to farmers re- suiting from the rains that have visited the state during the past week. The re-! re-! port, made out by Thomas A. Blair, tem-, tem-, porarily in charge, follows: The frequent thunder showers occurring oc-curring throughout the state during the past two weeks have caused considerable con-siderable improvement in the condition condi-tion of crops and ranges. Cattle on the ranges are still in good condition in some localities, in others only fair. Fall wheat and the first crop of alfalfa are now mostly cut, and the, second crop of alfalfa is growing rapidly rap-idly and is in excellent condition, except ex-cept that damage by grasshoppers is reported from sections in Juab, Millard Mil-lard and Uinta counties. Utah county coun-ty reports beets and potatoes doing well. |
