s Increase On Watershed Being Sought I Can. the amount of .snow de posited on a mountain watershed be increased by artificial means? : A scientific answer to this ques tion is sought this winter by the Oregon State college agricultural . experiment station working In co- Deration with the irrigation divi cion of the Soil Conservation ser vice and. three irrigation districts - In the Rogue River valley. Dfotrlcts '.Finance Project . Financed largely by funds con- f Hbuted by the irrigation districts, the project will make use of two ex-navy flyers who worked this past summer for the Rogue River Valley Traffic association on an ernerimental hail control cam paign. By attacking certain cloud Xormatlons, or "thunderheads. as they formed around the rim of the valley, the aviators believe they stopped at least eight dam aging hailstorms during the sea son. Valley fruit shippers and allied industries were so impressed by the apparent success of the venture that they have contacted with the two flyers to continue their work next season. Whether the crotec tive work was responsible or not the fact is there were no hail storms in the fruit area from May 14 to September 30 while the fivers operated, compared with an average in past years of nine thunder storms per season each , a potential hail storm. Hail fell this season in nearby foothills outside the "protected" area. i More Snow Wanted The project aimed at increasing .anow fajl on (he. watershed will Involve different methods, accord ing to the two . flyers, Harvey Brandau and Eugene KooserV In hail control work they try to dis sipate cumulus clouds that "stack" to great heights. In inducing more anow they will seed dry Ice through thick i stratoform clouds that already hold moisture want ed on the watershed. ". The SCS engineers have laid out a syitem of measuring; points over an area of some 250 square miles which will be checked dir ectly after flights are made. Snow measuring stations outside the area will serve as a check against the observations made within the watershed. Although large scale experi ments in weather - control made in the middle west by govern ment agencies gave results con sidered impractical economically, the local experiment is designed to show i whether conditions in" the Pacific northwest are enough different to hold possibilities of valuable weather manipulation.

A, Ratdiff of 170 Ratcliff dr, Salem, is published . in detail in a recent issue of the Journal of American Folklore. Forty-two stories, including legr ends of the; Philippines and the island versions of fairytales and superstitions,; are included in the edition. Mrs. Ratcliff was a teacher in the Philippines for the United States government in 1908 in a provincial high school in Pagsan jan, Laguna. The stories were pro vided by her pupils after Mrs. Ratcliff had! suggested that one of her classes, which had been studying Washington Irvings "Al hambra," collect local folk tales. An editor's note in the Journal of American Folklore explains that: These folk tales, collected by Mrs. Lucetta Kellenbarger Rat cliff and her students more than 40 years ago, were accepted for publication in the Journal in 1939 by its then editor, the late Ruth Benedict Since Dr. Benedict re tired from the editorship at the end of the same year, the tales were not published, but handed down in the backlog (of stories) to subsequent editors. . . . The editors have . . . chosen to in clude them in the Pacific Num ber because of their wide variety of types and motifs," - Oil refineries in the United States refine 37 billion gallons of motor fuel annually.
