RAIN AT LAST
YESTERDAY'S WELCOME FALL
WARM AND PENETRATING
Yesterday's rainfall was probably the most welcome for many years. The position on the Plains' had grown most serioifs. [n many instances domestic tanks were empty, aindi farmers were forced to depend on well and river water for home supply. On the area known as 'the desert' pastures were completely dried up and many herds were grazed on properties some distance away in ordter to maintain the milk yield. In Whakatane the rain was also most beneficial, the town having experienced no la 11 of any consequence for over three months. The measurements this morning for the Borough were .20 incites, and with more rain threatening there is every reason to believe that there will be a good soaking before the weather lifts again.
