Show WARM WEATHER STARTS FLOW IN FOREST STREAMS Vernal Bennion and Edgar Frost are making stream measurements or. the Seely creek watershed and are camped at the Seely creek ranger station, sta-tion, are the reports from the national nation-al forest offices at Ephraim. They were at the station several days during dur-ing the cold weather before the runoff run-off started. According to Mr. Bennion, Ben-nion, the first raise in the water came on May 10. Since that time the water wa-ter has increased from two to approximately ap-proximately fifteen second feet in Beck's creek. V alter Mann and Ray Price measured meas-ured the snow on the Meadows below the Alpine station on May 7. At that time they found sixty inches of snow, with a water content of twenty-five inches. With warm weather it would seem that farmers can expect a fairly good run-off this spring, notwithstanding notwith-standing the fact that up until November No-vember 10, 1931, there was insufficient insuffi-cient moisture at any one time during the season of 1931 to settle the dust from Lake Hill to Ephraim. This possibly pos-sibly accounts for the very light runoff run-off from the lower areas on the Sanpete watersheds. |
