.46 Inch Rain
Brings Smiles
To Farmers
Year’s Moisture Is
Reported 1.6 Inches
Less Than Normal
Farmers were wearing smiles
Monday morning following a .46
inch rain Sunday night. The rain
began about 7:30 o’clock Sunday
evening and was fairly general ov-
er this section of the country. It is
believed that the wheat will bene-
fit a great deal from the moisture
and another good wheat crop is
expected by many of the farmers.
Only a small part of the wheat has
been plowed under or pastured be-
cause of the lack of rain.
Rainfall since the first of the
year has been about 1.6 inches less
than average, and this is the first
rainfall recorded during the month
of April with the exception of a
trace on April 15 and April 22.
The high temperature of the
week was 88 degrees recorded on
April 27 and 28; anl the low of 40
was recorded on April 24. The sky
was cloudy and partly cloudy on
April 23, 26 and 28.

past week follows:

has been developing the past few

County To Benefit
By Money Spent On
Rural Repair Jobs
Expenditures totaling more than
$348,000 will be made in the
next few years by farm home
owners and ih communities of
Carson County to improve pres-
ent electric service and home
plumbing.
These outlays will mean ad-
ditional income to practically ev-
ery local business and will finance
additional wiring, bathroom im-
provements and new electrical
equipment for the country’s 1,379
farm and rural- homes; already
served with electricity, accord-
ing to a study released recently.
Introduction of running water,
installation of bathrooms and re-
placement of out-moded plumb-
ing fixtures head the list of most
wanted farm home features, the ‘
report revealed. One in five farm
families throughout the nation plan
bathroom improvements, it was
said.
Additional wiring is needed in
practically every farm home with
electricity, according to the study.
A huge market likewise exists
for milking machines, quick
freezing units, electric motors, and
other equipment.
Expenditures in the county are
part of a $94,617,000 program to
be undertaken by Texan farm and
rural home owners in the next
five years, the study revealed. An
estimated $2,294,900,000 on similar
improvements to present electric
service will be spent in the na-
tion during that time.
