Show Milford Home Lots Remain Beautiful Despite Drouth Despite the fact that the past .week has brought the Milford valley val-ley record-breaking hot weather, the virtual absence of accompanying accompany-ing blistering winds has permitted local lawns, gardens and shrubbery , to make a little headway and, with 1 no Shortage of the local water supply sup-ply to contend with, Milford's heme lots are said to be looking better than in any other part of the state. With the fields, and especially the surrounding range lands, it is a different story. Field crops have had a tough time of it, what with late frosts and a generally slow growing season, and now are suffering suf-fering from various insect pests and the general lack of moisture. However, the local underground water table is higher than for years and those whose irrigation needs are taken care of by water from Rocky Ford reservoir have not been curtailed. Range areas on all sides of Milford Mil-ford are in desperate need of rains, and, unless seme moisture is forthcoming right soon, feed en all winter range areas in this section, sec-tion, in common with all southern Utah, is going to a negligible quantity. The airways radio station recorded re-corded 101 as the maximum temperature tem-perature Sunday, the hottest day cf the season, but there was a brief break in the extreme heat Monday nocn, when there was a briefest-ofbrief shower. Since then, however, local thermometers have been too much disposed to keep the mercury high, day and night, for comfort. M , |
