Heavy , rainfalls, coming at intervals during the week, not only gave relief to suffering humanity, but growing crops were materially The citizenry, suffering t from days and days with the thermometer hovering auound 100 degress Fahrenheit-, got needed relief when the thermometer was sent to lower levels. No official report had been obtained but it is estimated that the. rainfall for the Week was near a half an. inch of water. ; ... ' Reports from various parts "of the' valley are to. the effect that every crop, barring the hay that had been cut, was greatly benefited. Beet fields were never .better,-reportsay,., and the rainStoim-- coming as it did, revived the growing plants to a point where the grower was highly contented. "The rain, too, had its meaning with' the .pests that have been bothering the growing beets. The insects have been washed away, more or less, and the plants are growing so rapidly that attacks now ..will" prove of dittle- harm. Before the rain, fieldmen throughout the Sanpete and Sevier beet growing districts,' aided by government experts, and through methods of spraying and other means, checked the attacks of bugs in. the beet fields, and the added moisture by rains will prove of great effect. While several hundred acres of hay had been cut and was down, fhe losses will not prove great, some agriculturists report. Lawns, gardens and field crops, as well in the mountains, were revived, and generally speaking the benefit- will override the small damage done. benefited. s , . - - Mrs. Dale Despain and son, Keller, who visited with Mr. Despain at St. George the past three weeks, returned Sunday.

However, the surveys have been made for some distance along the line of the proposed road, and it may be possible that some contracts may yet be let. At present the Young Construction company of Richfield is completing a contract that calls for about a mile and a third.

With the completion of the present contract, approximately ten miles of regulation highway will have been done on the west entry to the canyon.
