At the Manti weather station Lee J. Anderson measured only .51 inch of precipitation for June. The Manti average for June is .75 inch. There have been even drier Junes in Manti. The long-tim- e records list several with zero moisture. And there was also a very, very wet June in 1947, with 2.97 inches of precipitation. Gary Jorgenson reported similar figures for June at Sorenson Field a mile southeast of Ephraim.

Mt Pleasant, for instance, is now allowing outside watering on alternate days and Manti has adopted a similar schedule, with outside watering, with the pressurized system, north of Union Street restricted to Mondays and Fridays and south of Union to Tuesdays and Saturdays, while culinary water remains unrestricted at the present time.

The meeting, hosted by the Bureau of Land Management, was attended by representatives of the Forest Service, Soil Conservation Service, State Department of Agriculture, State Department of Natural Resources, State Lands and Forestry, State Wildlife Resources, Utah State University Extension Service, Utah Cattlemens Association, Utah Farm Bureau, and Utah Wool Growers.
