Part pf the more than 400 persons who viewed the sagebrush eradication demonstration in Lake
county this past week are pictured here. In the foreground is one of the tractor-drawn desaging out
fits demonstrated. The demonstration was on the Elder brothers place near Valley Falls.
Wheatland plow appears to work
effectively in any season. These
plows, disc tiller or harrow
plows have become the most
commonly used types for sage
brush eradication on range lands.
Plowing, harrowing with pipe
harrows and eradication of sage
by railing were demonstrated.
Use of road rippers, rollers, grad
ers, growing, mowing and flood
ing were discussed.
Fire Use Demonstrated
Eradication through the use of
fire was discussed and demon
strated, and advantages and dis
advantages of this method were
reviewed. Flame throwers were
employed in starting fires in the
demonstration area, around which
fire lines had been constructed.
The Lakeview Rotarians' range
reseeding demonstration was
started as a local affair, but news
rapidly spread and delegations
were present from practically all
tne western states. The demon
strations were held on the Chand
ler brothers ranch, at Valley
Falls, adjacent to the Fremont
highway. :
" . Clonn Chairman
Tea Conn,. Lakeview, was gen
eral chairman of the demonstra
tions, in which four agencies, Ore.
gon State college, soil conserva
tion service, bureau of land man
agement and forest service, par
ticipated. Equipment was as
sembled from several states.
Members of the technical ad
visory committee were Walter
Holt, Portland, manager of the
Pacific International Livestock
exposition; J. E. Pechanic, Port
land, chief of range research for
the Pacific northwest forest and
range experiment station; E. R.
Jackman crops specialist, Oregon
State college; Waldo R. Frand
sen, Portland,, soil conservation
service, and L. R. Nadeau, Portland,'-
representing the bureau of
land management, department of
interior.
Before viewing the desaging
demonstrations, the group in
spected a field of crested wheat,
on the Lloyd Chandler place east
of Fremont highway. This crest
ed wheat had been planted in an
area from which sagebrush had
been removed.

Herbert Cripe, the editor, and
his wife were moving into their

Mrs. Cecile T. Odle, Mrs. Cripe's

Efforts Under
Way to Control
Forest Lightning
Sandpolnt, Ida., Aug. 25 UP)
Man Is attempting to conquer
lightning in experiments this
summer in north Idaho's Kanl
ksu national forest.
The U. S. forestry service and
General Electric Co. teamed up
to see if lightning, the chief en
emy of the forests, can be stopped
at its source by destroying storm
clouds with dry ice.
If successful, the experiments
may prove to be the most impor
tant single development ever un
dertaken in preventing forest
fires, according to forestry serv
ice officials.
. 'me experiments using a for
estry service C-47 plane, plan to
seed forming clouds with dry Ice
pellets. The supercooled, water
droplets In the upper part of the
cloud will then turn into tiny
snowflakes, most of them indi
vidual snow crystals. Their fine
ness will prevent their falling as
rain.
Hope to Dispel Clouds
It is hoped that most of the
crystals will drift away and the
cloud will disappear instead of de
veloping into a towering cumulus
cloud which generates lightning.
The unusual experiments are
under way In the Priest river val
ley at a branch of the northern
Rocky mountain forest and range
experiment station.
In charge are H. T. Gisborne
of the experiment " station and
Dr. Vincent J. Schaefer of GE's
research laboratory. Schaefer dls-1
covered how to make ral'i with
dry. ice, and Gisbonc contacted
him to see if dry ice could be
used in fighting forest fires.
. The actual experiment of de
stroying clouds awaits a proper
combination of conditions. It will
be tried when separate storm
clouds are building up over three
selected "bleeding" spots in the
valley. When that happens, one
clnud will be seeded and the
others left alone to determine
what the dry ice can do.
