CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA FOR FEBRUARY, 1911.
DISTRICT No. 8, TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.
BERNARD BUNNEMEYER, District Editor.
GENERAL SChiMARY.
The month of February wns chnrecterized by generally warni weather :d by heavy preci1)itation in the greater
portion of the district. The nmount of sunshine was deiicient, especinlly in west Texas, New Mexico, ant1
Coloratlo. Tlie most not ewort 111- features of the nioiitli
were an n1)unclanc.e o f moiqture in C'oloraclo, New AIesic.o,
m ,l the northern aiitl western portions of Texas, which relieved the drought in tliose sections. and :I. severe cold
spell from the I !lth to the 24th. which cnused consitlernble
clniiiage in the southeastern portion of the district, especinlly a s the ~w r i i i wentlirr of the preceding week.:
lint1 stimulatetl regrta1)le growth to :in uiiusud extent. 11 general tleficiencv o f precipitation occurretl over it
large area of Tesiis horclering on the Gulf of Mexico antl extentling inl;tnd on tlie western margin from Niieces to
Lanipasas County, nnil on the enst ern iuargin froiii Jef-
ferson to Pnnola C'ounty. The shortage mns greatest in
the southeastern portion of this area, where the niontlily amounts of iiioihture were less t h r i in the semiarid reginns
of the west. There was very little precipitation 1)rior to tlie St,h in Texas. ;iii(l prior to the 13th in Coloraclo ant1
New Mexico. ,Ifter those tlates it oceurre(1 at frequent
inter\-als UII til the clwe of the nioiith. Tlie average number o f (lays nitli ().()I inch or ninre of 1)rec'il)itation
was 11 in C'oloratlo, 7 in Kern Mexico, ;incl 6 in Texas. The greatest antl Iecist iiiontlily amounts in C'oloraclo
were 5.nS inches at Curiilwes m i l 0.50 inch at Garnett ;
in New Mexico, 4.53 i n ~h e s at ,Ispen Grove 1::11icli nntl
0 .i 4 inch a t .inclio; an11 in Texas. 6.13 inches at Lnng-
view and 0.04 inch :it Liherty. Excessive amounts o f
3..50 inches or iiiore i n 24 consecutive Iinurs occurretl RS
follows: Claptonrille, 2.73; Flatonin, 3.13; Jayton, 2.50 ;
Lagrange, 2.S:J ; Longview-, 2.60 : Pliiinriew, 3.50; Rohert
Lee. 3.35; Soinerrille, 2 .W ; arid Thurher, 2.61 inches. The snowfnll was heavy over the upper reaches of the
Rio Grnncle and "io Pecos n-atershetls, and very light, in
southern New Mexico nntl in Texas. The greatest
monthly fall in Colorado was 64.5 inches, at Platoro, and in New Mexico, 63 inches, a t Ked Tliver Canyon.
TEMPERATURE,
The monthly inem temperature averaged 2.7" nhove the
noriiial in Colorado. 0.4' ahoi-e in New Mexico, and 5.2'
above in Tesas. The excess coveretl tlie entire district. except portions of the Rio Grnnde Valley from Santa Fe to
El Paso, where it was slightly coltler than normnl. The
nionth opened unusunlly warrii, and ivtiriii weather con-
tinued with but little interruption during the renter part of the first and second decades. In a large num % er of locnl-
ities the highest temperntures of tlie month were recortlecl
on the 1st. A periodof unusuall~~colcl wentliersetinon the
19th. which lusted until the 24th, when there was n c h i g e to warmer, ttlthough in tlie northern portion of the district
low night, teniperntures continuetl to the close of tlie
month. During this col(1 spell teinperntures belnw
freezing occiirred nearly to the Gulf (*onst, ant1 tempera- tures below zero occurretl in C~olorailo a d portious of
New- Mexico. Tlie average (liurnnl range of tempernture vnrietl from nhout $1" oii tlie upper Texas coast to about
31 ' in the extreme northern pnrtion o f the tlistrict. Tlie highest and lowed teniperatures reported were:
In C'oloraclo, 62' at Ssgu~che on the stl ant1 -20" nt
Mariassa on the 331; in New Mexico, S7" a t C:trlsbacl on
tlie 1st antl - 16" at Red River Cnnyon on the 231; antl
in Tesas, 9'7'' :tt Graharii on tlie 1st antl at, San 3I:ircos
on the 5th, and 123 :it Plainview on the 9211. Tlie local
niontlily iiiems rniigecl from 1 S.8" to 30.5' in Color,zdo,
from 25.4' to 1D.S" in New Mexico, antl from 42.3' to
G!).4" in Texas.
PRECIPITATION.
Tlie precipitation over the I'io Gritiicle watershed aver-
aped 3.09 inches, mliich is nenrly 1 inch greater than nor-
n d , and over twice tlic aaiouiit reported for Jnuuary. The excess covered pritc.tically tlie entire stretch from north to south. The greatest 1)recipitation mits 5.95
inralies :it Cumbres, C'olo., and the lea4 0.50 inch at
Garnett, Colo. The Rio Pecos watershed also ha(1 a decitled ewess ol'
precipitntion. Tlie average for the entire drainage aren
wns 1 .<)S inch. wliicli is almut 1.:30 inch greater than
normnl ant1 over four times tlic anioiiiit repnrtecl for the
preceiling month. The greatest precipitation was 3.W
inches, at Wintlsors Eanch, N. hfex., arid the least, O.s.5
inch, at Liston, N. Mes. Nearly all the precipitation
over the upper portions of both the Rio Pecos and Ilia
Grande watersheds was in the form of snow. There wus a marked increase in the precipit a t' mi over
the Texas watersheds froni that reported for the preceding
month. The total tiverage was about. six times greater.
In general the nioiitlily nrnounts clver the upper stretches
of the watersheds were decidedly in excess of the normal,
but the aniounts over tlie lower portions and over the coastal plniiis were deficient. The gre:ttest montlily
precipitation wis 6.13 inches, at Longview in tlie Sabine Valley, and tlie least 0.01 inch, at Liberty in the lower
Trinity Vdley. The following are the average monthly aniounts in inches for the T-arious w:itersheds: Nneces,
1.73; San Antonio, 2.07; Guaclalupe, 2.41 ; Lavaca, 3.02;
Colorado, 3.05; Brazos, 2.82: Trinity, 3.35; Neches, 2.58;

Sabine, 3.5s ; aiicl coastal plains, 1.09. In January the
averages varied from a mnimuni of 0.33 inch for tlie lower Guaclnlupe to a iiiasiinum of 0.71 inch for tlie
Neches.
RIVER CONDITIONS.
The streams of tlie district generally averaged liglier
than during the preceding nioiitli, but there was very little change until after the niitldle of tlie month. On the ISth
sharp rises occurred in the upper Colorado, and on the 21st in tlie upper Brazos and upper Trinity. The C‘olo-
rndo rise TWS felt throughout its length, and the stages
renclied, tiltliough below flood stage, are the llighest
on record for February. Tlie Trinity :tiid Brazos rises
dit1 not show 1111 niucli in the lower portioiis of these streams. The Brazos, however, rose liiglier in its upper
and iiiicldle portioiis tlinii in any previous Fehruwy since
1903.
SNOWFALL IN THE MOUNTAINS.
There was niucli siiowfall during the niontli, ant1 the prospects for irrigation water nre tlecicledly iiiore fuvor-
able tlinii a t any previous time this season. The nccu-
iiiuhtec1 de Ith of mow over the heatlwaters of the Rio
Graiitle and Rico Pecos at the close of the nioiitli was
greater in many locttlities tlinii cluriiig tlie correAponc1- iiig period of tlie previous year. The following estrncts

BRAZOS RIVER OVERFLOWS AND LEVEE PROTEC-
TION.
By W. W. DIBRELL, Levee Engineer, U. S. G. S.
Tlie recent nwnkeiiiiig of tlie laiidowiers of the Brazos bottoms to tlie fact, that ltirge arezis of tliis land can be
)rotect,ecl at n siiiall expense hy tlie construction of levees
Lis attractecl public :Ittention to :t certniii extent,, Init
its yet the general Iublic lias iio accurate iden of the iiiiniense vnlue of t 1 le ngriculturiil lantls of the Brnzos
es entailed by tlie overflow of tlie river.
Tlie Brilzos River prcoper lieails in tlie Stiiketl Plains
of western Terns, in Hale :tntl L i t i i i l ~ C‘ounties, flows in 1%
soutliensterly direction, nnd enipties into the Gulf of
RIesico, clrnining itii ttrc:i of over 50,000 square niiles.
Tlie strenni in its entire leiigtli flows tlirougli n soft nin-
terial, ranging froiii a black cnlcnreous allurizil soil a t the 11 )per end to a sniitly itiicl clay Ioani representing
reworLec~ mnterial in tlie lower pnrts. t ~i e lewt sign
of liigli water tlie river bec~oiiies a murky red and curies
t t lnrge amount, of silt. Altliougli tlraiiiing a very ItLrge
territory, the river sonietinie.s IIeiwnes very low, and tlie writer has wxtled it ninny n time chiring tlie dry season.
Its main tril)ut:tries, tlie Little River iind Little Brnzos,
linve the sitiiie cliarncteristics ns tlie mnin stream and,
tliougli draining n smaller area tlinn the iiiain river, tlo
great c1:iiiinge in t h e s of owrflow.
Tlie overflows of the Brazos m i 1 results therefrom form
:til interesting study, but, imfortunntely, until lake years
no nccurnte record lins h e n kept of tlieni. Tlie first iiiu nt lation (I f wliich even t rncli t i t J i i spe ti lis ()cc 11 rred in
1S33, the nest in lS43, aiitl then one, of wliich there is
iiiore known, in 1552. This last nppeztrs to lime coT--
eretl immense nreas of laiicl ant1 t o have cloiie great
clniiinge to stock, hit facts :ire meager niid unrelinble,
as niiglit be expected, coiiiiiig iiioqtly in verbal form froni old settlers. Eetweeii tliis flootl niirl tlie nest, over :3()
yenrs elapsecl, in ~vliich there wis wtctically no high
water, aiitl tlie iintives becnnie cnre I ess :tiid overconfi-
dent, so tlint tlie overflow of 1SS.5 took tlieiii entirely by
surprise. It seems 11s if the most &tiiinge in tliis case
was doiie in the II i )er section, hut no relinble re mrts
can ]>e o1)taiiiecl. +lie lnntl in tlie 10wr section hac \ not
been cleared to any great, extent up to tliis time, and therefore tlie dnniitge was not :IS qreat as it iiiiglit 1iaiT.e
been under other ccoiiditions. What appears to linve been the grentest nnd most
general overflow of tlie Brazos, Iiowever, occurred in June
nnd July, 1199. The year “99” is spoken of with awe by tlie nntives and will long be remembered by tlieni.
Several years directly preceding 1899 were clinrncterizecl
by dry weather, nnd until June of tlint yenr tlie rainfall
was barely normnl. About May 20 excessive rninfall
begnn to be reported nll over the Brazos bnsbi. At hison, Jones County, tlie precipitation for June was 6.3
inches, against n 12-year average of about 2.4 iuclies.
At Abilene, Taylor County, it was 5.45, avernge 3;
