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. There was only an in
crease of 7,000.000 head during
1953 as compared with 19,000,000
head a year earlier. In 1951, the
increase was 24,000,000 head.
