From Where We Stand
Late But Welcome
Hey, how about that rain! It may
■have been too late, but it sure tried
not to be too little.
It was too late for many tobacco
crops and for most of the northern
Lancaster County corn crop, but pas
tures and hay fields should get a good
boost. Also anyone who had his small
grain in the ground before the storm
should get some quick results.
Rainfall amounts reported around
the county varied widely Lititz Boro
reported 2.85 inches; county agent M.
M Smith recorded 3.9 inches at his
home in Lancaster. The Harrisburg-
York area boasted over four inches. And
some quarters labeled it the heaviest
one-day downpour in more than a
decade.
No, it may have been late, but it
sure was welcome!
