Rain In July?
July is the most important month in
the growing cycle of cotton, grain sor-
ghum. soybeans, native grass and hay
grazer type feed for grazing cattle
The requirements for a good crop vary
to some degree, but the essential elements
remain the same from year to year. A lot
depends on seed variety and quality,
coupled with Swisher County's warm
sun, rich soil and 205-day average grow-
ing season Rain, however, is all impor-
tant. The dryland farmer must have
moisture in sufficient quantity to make
his crop
Though rain figures fluctuate from one
corner of a section to another, and fence-
line storms can throw the averages right
out the window. Swisher County rainlall
records indicate that the month ot July
has averaged 2.22 inches every vear since
1949
Last year, the rain gauge took in a
paltry .28 of an inch, while the most
recorded was in I960, when 7 9I inches
may have been too much.
The lowest total recorded that 37-year
span was 08 of an inch in f970. a sum
that most larmers would likely rather
forget July would be kindest to the men
of the earth if the average 2.22 inches
would come about one-half inch at a
time, in the slow-soaking fashion over a
24 to 36 hour period on maybe four days
out of the month
Whatever amount of rainfall local
raingauges take in this July, farmers, as
always, will give thanks.
Crops Suffer From
Sunday Hail
Swisher County Farm Bureau agenev
manager Ed Rogers said a Sunday hail
storm that originated at Halfway, between
Olton and Plainview, left destruction in
its path, w hich followed a line that ended
near the Lakeview Gin. I0 miles west of
Tulia.
“The hail clouds moved from south to
north. It was pretty bad. When the storm
first started, the hail was baseball size
I hen there were reports of some small
hail and some big
“The crops in that line had from 50 to
100 percent losses." Rogers said.
A wide range of crops were damaged,
according to Rogers, who listed cotton,
milo. corn and sugar beets as suffering
the most.
Charles Andrus of Lakeview Gin said
the worst of the storm occurred in the
vicinity of the Royce Durham and Ernest
Pittman farms west of Centerplains.
“It moved to the northwest of Tulia "
Andrus said. “I guess it was about a one
to two-mile swath. J he hail was terrible
on some people, but I think it was worst
down west of the Centerplains Gin."
Andrus said he thinks most of the
damaged milo crops will come back, but
is doubtful about the corn and certain
that approximately 50 percent of the cot-
ton crop is lost
