Under the new system, in augurated this week, specialized forecasts will be issued for various sections. One of these will be for Bend, high on the inland plateau and close to the sheltering Cascades. Another will be for The Dalles, at the weather funnel leading out of the deep Columbia gorge. Another will be for Astoria, facing tha Pacific ocean. There will be other regional forecasts for communities bordering the Blue mountains, and those facing the Great Basin. The regional forecasts will be prepared by the weather bur eau's new public service unit, composed of a group of weather specialists, at Portland The Bend forecast will be for this community arid vicinity, and roughly will cover most of Des chutes county. Two forecasts will be provided daily, except Sunday.- The forecasts will be for the guidance of agriculture, industry and commerce in this area, but other groups will benefit, and we are sure none will scan the prediction with greater interest than anglers, hunters and outdoor enthusi asts. . Bend and vicinity will, we are sure, welcome the new weath er bureau service, but it is only fair to warn the forecasters that they will be "on the spot". Old timers of the upper Des chutes basin insist that it is impossible to predict weather in this area, and they say some uncomplimentary things about amateur forecasters. Generally, weathermen agree with the opinion of old timers, about Bend weather being unpredict able. Problems that meterologists face in providing daily fore casts for the Bend area are varied, for this is a region where Great Basin weather comes in conflict with that which sweeps in from the Pacific. Just to the east is the "high desert", and to the west are the snow-capped Cascades. Each of these topo graphic features affects the weather. Electric storms are fac tors that will enter the weather picture in the summer months, and forecasters will find that these storms follow definite pat terns in their sweep out of the southwest. However, Portland weathermen will not be blindly "guess ing" at upper Deschutes basin weather. In Bend there is a U. Si weather bureau station that provides observations every three hours, night- and day. Also, the forecasters will have for their guidance some 45 years of weather history, dating back to pioneer days when Bend's "weather station" was an instru ment shelter on top of a pine stump. The Spoils of War I J Irrigation Water Outlook Scheduled Again Atomic Energy Commission Acts to Safeguard Uranium Bend was setting building records last year but now, in 1947, it is apparent that the showing of the previous twelve month will be far surpassed. Permits-issued this February were for construction estimated at f 74,190. In the same month in 1946 the figure was $34,775. The increase is 114 per cent. The local trend, it should be noted, is directly opposite to that generally observed in the northwest. The February total for 42 reporting cities, of which Bend is one, was 18 per cent less than a year ago. It is to be pointed out, however, that the num ber of residential permits is greater than that of 1946. There is still a possibility, it seems, that the housing shortage may be overcome before 1948.

I Results of snow surveys to ! March first indicated highly vari 'able conditions, ranging from 'good prospective supplies to cri i tically short prospects. A heavy I storm that brought rain in the valleys and snow at higher eleva tions through most of the state occurred after these measure ments which may improve the situation. ' Final measurements to be ta ken in late March just before the annual series of meetings will re cord such changes and make pos sible a more accurate forecast of water supplies for the season, says Frost. Snow Cover Short Before this storm period the mountain snow cover was below average on 92 per cent of the snow courses in Oregon. On 37 per cent of the coures new low records were established for the period in which the detailed snow surveys have been made. The surveys in Oregon are carried on through a co-operative arrange ment among the Soil Conserva tion service, the O. S. C. experi ment station, state engineer's of fice. Forest service, private power companies and other agencies. In conducting the series of fore cast meetings Frost will be ac companied by John C. Burtner, extension editor of Oi'egon State college.

Conservation To Help Halt Waste Of U.S. Cropland Shrinking cropland and Increas ing population in this country make conservation of soil re sources of concern to both arm el's and consumers alike, 1,300 Oregon farmer AAA committee men have been informed by E. Harvey Miller, chairman of the state PMA committee. The harvested crop acreage in 1946 amounted to 2.4 acres for each man, woman and child in the United States, Miller reported. While this is the highest per capita cropland acreage of any na tion In the world, it still repre sents a loss of almost one acre per person compared with 25 years ago. Since the introduction of government-sponsored conservation programs 10 years ago, annual losses of plowland have been cut in half from one million to a half million acres lost through erosion and depletion. Despite this progress, Miller pointed out more cropland is being lost each year than is being brought into production through Irrigation and reclamation. "It's obvious why this situation of shrinking cropland and Increas ing population should be a matter of public concern," the PMA chairman declared. "It tells the story of why public funds are be ing spent for conservation work of why the government, through the agricultural conser vation program, is spending about $1.50 for each person's 2.4-acre share of the cropland to assist farmers In taking care of the land." i About $3 million has been made available to share with Oregon ' farmers and ranchers in the cost I of carrying out 43 approved ero-! sion control and soil building 1 measures under the 1947 agricul tural conservation program, Mil-1 ler said. i MORE ENTER HOMES Washington, March 21 U'i The veterans' administration to day reported a 26 per cent in crease dining 1916 in the number nf imlj.rnim in UA hntnf'K for the old and permanently disabled.
