Bureau of Agriculture Now
Sends Men On Snow
shoes to Gather Positive
Data in 'Them Thar Hills'
CORVALLIS, May 33. P Weather
worried stockmen and Irrigation farm
ers no longer gaze at the snowy
mountain, and remark with uncer
tainty: "Wal. It look like we're go
ing to have enough water to get
through the summer."
They Just drop into the local bu
reau ot the agricultural englnefirs
and acquire positive knowledge of
the moisture in 'them there hills."
It ' not such a simple matter, how
ever, for the government scientists.
Thev check the snowfall annunlly for
the life it holds for millions of acres
under production and great roaming
herds of cattle.
Young Man's Job,
The actual field work ts a young
man's occupation because Its means
hazardous, exhausting ski and now
shoe Journeys along the windy crest
of the Cn-ieade range to approximately
70 scattered Oregon checking sta
tlona.
Careful records describe snow
depth and water content. By spring
the precipitation Is known In major
drainage basins. The engineers ac
curately forecast the water storage in
reservoirs, the condition of soil mois
ture and ground vater and the prob
able stream run-off.
Trained men collect the material
on four treks through deep snow and
frigid temperatures to each checking
point.
As a result, a farmer on an irrl
nation project will know at the start
of the season whether he will bo
short of water when some of his
crops need It most. If ho Is. he can
plan his year's program accordingly.
Pipe Measure 8 now.
The snow is measured with alum
inum pipes forced to the grouitd
The pipes are graduated In inches
to show the exact depth, and per
forated so the height of the core
sample can be measured easily when
the pipes are withdrawn. The snow
filled pipes are weighed to give the
percentage of water. The checkers,
who usually travel in pairs for con
venience and safety, repent the rou
tine several times to obtain an ac
curate n vertigo.
The government has constructed
special shelters along the dangerous
routes between the stations. Each
hut nan a "Santa Claus chimney"
an enclosed ladder extending high
above the roof to permit the checkers
to enter even though the cabins have
been smothered In snow.

V. F. W. POPPY SALES
10 MEET mm
NEEDS OF VETERANS
More than ftOO.000 of the unem
ployed In the country today, are vet
erans most of them veterans of th;
World war. Their Inability to be self-
supporting at this time has created
a particularly pressing nerd for the
proceeds of the annunl V.F.W. Buddy
Poppy sale which will be conrluc'.ed
here Friday and Saturday, under aus
pice of Crater Lake post No. 1813.
Veterans of Forefgn Wars of the
United StM, according to Bert Hi
kill. Buddy Poppy chairman.
Proceeds of the Buddy Poppy sale,
lon sored throughout the country for
the ln.it 10 yeors by the V.F.W. . ore
devoted exclusively to the core and
welfare of needy and disabled veteran-,
their dependents, and the wid
ows and orphans of vetorans.
General unemployment conditions,
together with rising living casts, nnd
an uncertain economic outlook, have
combined to make the need for these
fundi greater this year than ever
before.
"With general conditions as un
certain as they are, the unemployed
veteran today Is facing a particularly
hnrd problem," Commander Fred But
ler explained. "He Is 45 years old
on the 'average, bo Is subject to the
aliments and weaknesses of advanc
ing years."
TO
BIG WHEAT CROP
WASHINGTON .Mny 35 (API The
bureau of ntfrlculturnl economics re
ported today the early outlook In
northern hemisphere countries and
expectations of a moro nearly normal
crop In Argentina Indicated a larger
world wheat crop this year.
The bureau said wheat plantings In
32 countries which accounted for 89
per cent of last year's hHrvested acre
age In the northern hemisphere were
about four percent larger than In
1017. A decrease of about 1.500.000
acres was expected In Australia.
If this decreose Is not offset by
Increased seedlns In Argentina,
world acreage, Including Russia and
China, will he about throe per cent
above that of 11K18, the bureau said.
