HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. May 29, 1958 OSC Gets $30,000 Grant For Army Weather Research OREGON STATE COLLEGE Use of radar and other new electronic devices for forecasting and observing weather are under study by the Oregon State col lege physics department with a new $31,000 grant from the U S army signal corps engineering laboratories. Started a year ago, the study involves development of latest techniques for predicting weath er elements significant for army operations. Dr Fred Decker, as sistant professor of physics, is project leader. Last year's grant for the work was $29,000. Studies, though particularly keyed to army needs in various military situations involv i n g communications, transportation and weapon utilization, will have wide opplication in other fields, Decker pointed out A portable weather radar trail er is being used to make spec ial storm observations in the Cascade and Coast Mountain ranges and the merits of fixed weather radar and the portable equipment will be compared. Techniaues for forecasting the onset and paths of severe storms, for determining storm intensity and duration, lightning occur rence, wind and temperature changes, freezing and thawing, and occurrence of fog will be examined during the coming year. Radio positioning of lightning discharges, high altitude photo equipment data will be used, graphs, and cloud base and top Graduate students performing meteorological studies connect ed with the project are Herbert Kershaw and Cloan Powell of Corvallls, Radar and other elect ronics techniques have been studied by Robert Hunsucker and Julian Pike, Portland; Ro bert W Sutton, Medford; Allen Fulmer, Salem; and Arthur Hershman, Valparaiso, Ind. Earlier, Decker participated In a two-year research project for the signal corps on weather ef fects on army operations as re vealed in tactical histories of World War II and the Korean conflict. Half of Oregon Farm Products Sold Elsewhere More than $200 million are ad- dorl tn Oregon's economy each year by farm products shipped to out-of-state markets, accord ing to Oreeon State college agri cultural economists. Out-of-state sales account for about one out of every two dol lars taken in by Oregon farmers, in thp rase of some specialty crops such as Oregon's $15 mil lion annual pear crop upwaras of 90 percent are sold outside the state. Crons with more than 90 per cent of farm receipts from ship ments to out-of-state markets in clude snap beans and strawber ries, each grossing around $10 million a year. Other berries, niberts, pepper mint oil. hoDs. cannery beets, green peas, cherries, prunes, and more than a dozen grass ana legume seed crops are in tne yu nercent-plus groups highly de pendent on outside markets. Wheat and cattle top the out side market list for dollar vol ume. More than three-fourths of the cash income for Oregon's $50 million annual wheat crop comes from outside the state, and one fourth to one-half the $G0 million yearly sales of cattle and calves are out-of-state. The OSC economists say sales outside the state probably ac count for 75 to 90 percent oi tne rash income from farm forest products a $15 million yearly business and trom sucn crops as onions, walnuts, sweet corn, and barley. Between half and three-Iourtns of the farm income originates outside the state for Oregon s si? million notato harvest, the $5 million apple crop, sheep and lambs, wool, turkeys, red clover seed, carrots.and cauliflower.
