Droug ht Worsens
In State f Georgia
While the plentiful rains
of July brought temporary
relief from the agricultural
drought, three months of
very" dry weather have once
again raised concerns across
the state. The current
drought, which started in
May 1998, has become even
worse across Georgia.
Concerns are being
raised about wildfires and
low stream flows, reservoir
levels, groundwater levels
and soil moisture.
October is normally the
driest month of the year, but
rainfall amounts were mea-
ger even for this dry month.
Warm weather during
October has also increased
the loss of soil moisture due
to evaporation and plant use.
October precipitation for
selected stations in north
Georgia includes Allatoona
Dam at 1.7 inches (1.5 below
normal), Athens at 0.4 (2.9
below), Atlanta 0.8 (2.3),
Hartwell 1.3 (2.2) and
Washington 0.5 (2.6)
and falling leaves have
increased the amount of dry
vegetation available to fuel
wildfires,
FOR MIDDLE GEORGIA,
the rainfall totals (and
deficits) include Columbus at
0.8 inches (1.4), Griffin 0.4
(2.7), Woodbury 0.6 (2.4),
Macon 0.2 (2.0), Augusta 0.2
(2.7) and Louisville 0.3 (2.4).
South Georgia totals (and
deficits) include Americus at
0.1 inches (1.8), Alma 0.3 (1.9),
Brunswick 0.2 (2.7) and
Savannah 02 (2.2).
These dry conditions fol-
low several months of below-
normal rainfall across the
state. Since August 1, Atlanta
has had 4.0 inches (6.1 inch-
es below normal), Athens 3.1
inches (7.2 below), Columbus
1.9 (7.2), Macon 5.2 (3.4),
Augusta 5.0 (5.7) and
Savannah 9.5 (4.8).
The low rainfall amounts
have contributed to
increased potential for wild-
fires statewide. A killing
freeze over most of the state
brighten your holidays.
You'll also pick up a few
secrets to use in your other
seasonal arrangements.

Hunters of
the Sky
See four endangered
species and their relation-
ships to humans and the
environment. January 26-
September 8 - Free with
Gardens admission.
See how the bald eagle,
spotted owl, peregrine fal-
con and California condor
have returned from near
extinction to survive among
humans and the ever-chang-
ing environment. In the
Virginia Hand Callaway
Discovery Center, guests
will learn how these
remarkable birds have
uniquely adapted to their
ecological niches and the
prominent role they have
played in human culture
through a diverse sampling
of their use as symbols in
the art, literature and reli-
gions of the world from
ancient times to present
day.
THE GEORGIA Forestry
Commission rates the wild-
fire danger as high to
extreme across most of the
state. It's important that
hunters and anyone else
using Georgia's forests be
particularly careful with fire
sources such as matches and
cigarettes.
Water restrictions are
still in effect across the state.
Major reservoirs remain
very low in north Georgia. In
south Georgia, groundwater
levels are extremely low.
Most streams in the state are
at or near record low levels.
The drought is also affect-
ing the state's agriculture.
Dry conditions and killing
freeze have brought pasture
growth to a virtual halt. Some
farmers are supplementing
pastures with hay. Small-
grain farmers are delaying
planting because of dry soils.

SPECIAL AUTO fiNANCE
SilPER CENTER
THE WINTER outlook
from the Climate Prediction
Center doesn't offer much
hope for improvement. They
predict equal chances of
above-, near- and below-nor-
mal temperature, but an
increased chance of dry con-
ditions through the winter.
Since winter is the season
when most soil moisture is
recharged, this may foretell
problems going into the next
growing season.
