Ashland Youth Takes
Grand Prize in First
Porcupine Contest
John A. Bowman, School
House ranch, Ashland, with a
total of 361 porcupines, won the
first grand prize, a Winchester
automatic shotgun, during the
first year of a campaign to re
duce the porcupine population
in Jackson county sponsored
jointly by the Medford Kiwanis
odub and the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce.
The winner of the second
grand prize, a pair of binoculars,
was Ronald Scholer, star route
box 77, Ashland, with 188 por
cupines. Clara Jean Fink, for
merly of Eagle Point, now liv
ing in Areata, Calif., won third
prize, a scope-mounted 22 rifle,
with a total of 182 porcupines.
Fourth Quarter Winners
Winners of the prizes for the
fourth quarter of fiscal year
1957 were Ronald Scholer, 39
porcupines; John A. Bowman,
32 porcupines; and Roland Pey
ton, Coleman Creek rd., Med
ford, 22 porcupines. Prizes con
sisted of various Items of camp
ing equipment.
The year-long contest was
limited to youths from 12 to
18 years of age who are resi
dents of Jackson county. Youths
who entered the contest for the
prizes during the year account
ed for a total of 2,399 por
cupines. Money for the prizes, which
were displayed throughout the
year at the various sporting
goods stores In Medford, Ash
land and Central Point, was do
nated by 13 lumber concerns
in Jackson county.
Bounty on Noses
In addition to prizes, Jackson
county paid a bounty of $1 for
each porcupine nose. The county
clerk reported that 6,946 por
cupine bounties' was paid during
the year. The Prospect office
of Elk Lumber company also
paid $1 bounty. The. office re
ported a total of 629 porcupines
accounted for during the year
through their company.
Foresteri have estimated that
a porcupine during its lifetime
damages timber stands, mostly
young ponderosa pine trees, to
the extent of at least $200 in
value. If this amount is multi
plied by the number of porcu
pines killed during the past
year, the first year of the cam
paign has resulted in a long
term benefit to the county's for
est economy of approximately
$1,500,000, according to the Ki-
Radar Pictures
01 Stale Weather
New Forecast Tool
Chicago W Radar pictures
of state-wide weather systems
are being developed as a tool
for forecasting thunderstorms
and tornadoes.
Two University of Chicago ex
perts say that radar shows clear
er how one-mile wide clouds ex
pand Into larger weather group
ings that often spawn severe
storms.
The researchers are Tetsuya
Fujita, research associate,' and
H. Albert Brown, instructor at
the department of meteorology.
Radar photos taken every
minute form a graphic biography
of four such storm systems they
studied. The weather pattern is
known as a mesosystem, which
extends from 10 to 200 miles
in radius.
According to Fujita and
Brown, the beginning of a meso
aystem is a column of water con
densation in the atmosphere a
mile wide and two miles high.
' These tiny water droplets of
condensation, growing in size
and number, form a dense bar
rier that reflects radar waves.
Cloud Sequence
Radar photos show that the
condensation grows into a small
cloud that disappears in about
20 minutes. Then several new
ones form, grow larger and dis
appear again. The entire se
quence often is repeated for as
long as 12 hours, the research
showed. '
Fujita and Brown said the
situation occurs in areas of high
winds, pressure changes and pre
cipitation. The original column of con
densation is fed by water vapor
rising on currents of warm air
until the condensation droplets
reach a critical size and fall as
rain.
The falling rain, evaporating
as it plummets earthward, leaves
behind a large mass of cold air,
which minutes later sinks to the
ground under its own weight
and causes surface temperatures
to drop as much as 30 degrees,
the meteorologists said.
On the radar screen, the dissi
pating cloud can be seen to dim
inish and vanish. But at. the
same time new ones are born
in its path. These dissipate and
are replaced by newer and big
ger ones until at last a squall
. line, or echelon of thunderstorms
is formed.
Fujita and Brown believe the
small, 1 5 - mile - wide cyclones
often associated with tornadoes
probably result from swirling
eddies of' air and moisture
formed by the high winds in the
wanis club.
Despite the large number of
porcupines killed during the
past year the animals are still
plentiful so the Medford Ki
wanis club is considering spon
soring another contest and offer
ing prizes for youths in the
county.
Reduced Bounty
Jackson county also will con
tinue to pay a bounty. How
ever, it will be reduced to 50
cents per nose instead of $1
This action was taken because
Klamath county is offering a
bounty for the first time. Since
the Klamath bounty is 50 cents
and since the two counties are
adjacent Jackson county chang
ed to 50 cents so that the amount
of the bounties would be the
same.
Prizes were awarded to the
winners at the July 17 meeting
of the Kiwanis club and all the
winners have been invited to
appear on television at 6 p.m.
on Thursday, July 1, with Ki
wanians Jennings Pierce and
Chester Wendt.
