Radar Used Continued from Page 1 day by W. Floyd Jones, project meteorologist at Condon. It said. "The storm of May 9 -10 came from northwest Washington, having been fully developed be fore leaving that area, It moved toward the Tri-County area by way of the Cascade range. As it ( limed up over the Cascades, pre cipitation occurred on the west side and summit of Hie moun tains, and it slowed and nearly stopped as the moisture-laden air currents which were feeding this storm were unable to complete the climb over to the east side of the Cascades, and as a result, the flying storm swept cm over East ern Oregon causing scattered, very little showers generally. Condon measured .05", a station seven miles west of Condon re ceived .11". and other areas only traces. "By careful and continuous study of this storm using radar and weather data received over leasi'd-wire facilities, the Wea ther Modification company feels that nature was coaxed into dropping a little more rain over the Tri-County area than could have been expected had no cloud seeding been done. A 30 hour watch was maintained on this storm by the technical staff at j the Condon office. j "The description is true of most' of the storms to come over the area and . . . every opportunity will be taken to increase the na tural rainfall over the three counties." The Weather Modification com-, pany holds the present research contract, which expires in June, I and it was also announced by the, directors of the county organiza-' tion that the annual meeting of the Tri-County organization will be held in Morrow county early in June.

Oregon, U. S. Cattle Numbers Hit New Top Cattle numbers in Oregon, the U. S., and the world have reached a record high this year. Ed Cedes, extension livestock marketing specialist at Oregon State college, reports that on January 1, 1954, Oregon had a total of 1,429,000 cattle, the U. S. had 94,600,, and the world about 856,000,000 cattle. As nations go, India rank sfirst in total cattle numbers with near ly 200,000,000 head. Cattle in India are used primarily for draft purposes. The U. S. is considered first in beef production of the world. Coles says the marked upswing in cattle production in the World War II is showing signs of slow ing down.
