During the third and fourth weeks some soil erosion occurred in north-central Wyoming. Eastern Montana. And eastern Colorado. West Texas received above - normal amounts of precipita tion, many stations reporting over an inch, but much of this moisture was evaporated by drying winds during the last week.
