Irrigation -Wafer ;
Outlook Better
Portland - IUPD - Oregon's
1961 irrigation water supply
outlook is reported improved
because of greater-than-aver-age
snowpack increases in
most portions of the state.
, The Soil Conservation Serv
ice said forecasts of expected
stream-flow . in the April-to-September
irrigation season
had been raised 5 to 20 per
cent.',
It said the outlook was now
"fair" to near "average" ex
cept for the following areas
where "short" water supplies
are apt to hold the outlook to
"fair" - only: Crooked River
Ochoco, Lost River - Gerber,
Drew Creek-Lakeview, Silvies
and Silver in Harney Basin,
Malheur River and Owyhee.
Water supply forecast meet

and Monday at Medford.
Earthquake Felt
Off California
Berkeley, Calif.-(UPD-A fair
ly strong earthquake, appar
ently centered in the Pacific
Ocean off the northern Cali
forna coast, was recorded
Wednesday night on the seis
mograph at the University of
California.
Seismologist Don Tocher
said the temblor occured 225
miles northwest of Berkeley.
It hit at 8:05 p.m. (PST) with
a Richter magnitude of 5.
Project Mohole Attempts To Unlock Earth's Secrets
Washington-(Science Serv
ice) - U. S. scientists are now
deep in a large-scale drilling
project designed to unlock the
secrets of the earth.
Drilling a 560-foot deep bite
out of the ocean floor more
than two miles beneath the
wind-swept surface is a major
feat In itself.. However, the
tests off the Mexican coast
are only a prelude to poking
a hole through the earth's
outer skin into its unknown
interior. Dubbed Project Mo
hole, the hole would yield
material now unobtainable
containing information about
the earth's history and inner
structure.
Ultimate goal of scientists
is to bring to the surface a
sample of the earth's mantle,
a dense plastic-like material
underneath ,the earth's crust.
For the first time scientists
would then have evidence to
shatter or confirm some of
the present theories of the
earth's interior. All that is
now known is by indirect evi
dence. Dividing Lin
Seismic waves have told
scientists there is an irregu
lar dividing line separating
the earth's crust from the
underlying mantle, which is
known as the Mohorovlcic
discontinuity, or Mono. It was
named after the Yugoslav sci
entist who discovered that
earthquake waves suddenly
increase in velocity when they
pass through this boundary.
;.- Below the 1,800-mile thick
mantle, the earthquake waves
reach the earth's core. The
core is supposedly composed
of iron and nickel. ' ,
The earth's crust is a thin,
slag-like veneer of light gran
itic rocks averaging ten miles
in thickness. Scientists believe
the crust, w i t h its jagged
peaks and . valleys, "floats"
over deeper plastic material.
The Mohole cannot be drill
ed on land, because the weight
of the continents has pushed
the mantle to a depth averag-
Rocket Launching
Partial Success
Washington -OiPD-The civil
ian space agency Wednesday
launched a rocket experiment
to gauge winds and tempera
tures in the upper atmosphere,
but reported it was only "par
tially successful." ' '
A Nike-Caj un rocket was
fired from Wallops Island,
Va., with a 60-pound payload
of scientific devices. The
rocket reached an altitude of
71 miles as planned.
A dozen explosive charges
in the payload were to be
ejected and detonated at in
tervals from 20 up to 60 miles.
But the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration
said electronic gear in the
rocket failed to transmit In
formation on how the devices
worked.
The shot was partially suc
cessful, it said, because in
struments on the ground were
able to determine that at least
seven of the charges were
detonated.
Scientists hope to calculate
temperatures and wind be
havior at the explosion alti
tudes from studies of the
smoke and sound.
FISH GETTING ULCERS
Fishy Facts Brought Out During
Hearing by House Subcommittee
By DICK WEST
. Washington -IUPD- If you've
been looking for someone to
fill you in on the latest de
velopments in the ichthyologi
cal world, I'm your man. .
I can tell you, for instance,
that studies being carried out
under the auspices of the In-
.' terior Department have deter
mined that certain fish have
ulcers.
I also can inform you that
experiments in the artificial
cultivation of bivalves have
been so successful that they
may lead to the creation of
commercial "oyster farms."
And, if you still thirst for
information, you might be in
terested in knowing that one
of the problems of underwater
warfare is how to find sub
marines that are hiding be
hind schools of fish.
These are a few of the fishy
facts that hooked my attention
as I was reading the testi
mony taken by a House ap
propriations subcommittee at
hearings on the new Interior
Department budget.
Talk About Seaf cod
The Interior Department
has jurisdiction over just
about everything that flies,
swims or crawls, and there
was, consequently, a lot of
conversation about seafood.
One of the more fascinating
programs the department is
sponsoring, at a cost of $527,
000 during the next fiscal
year, was described as "re
search on fish migration over
dams."
I'll admit that doesn't sound
very fascinating. But when I
tell you that it involves build
ing elevators for salmon, per
haps you will find it so.
Half of the research is di-r-led
at finding some way to
build big dams in the Pacific
Northwest without interfering
with the right of a salmon to
swim upstream to spawn.
The other half is directed
at finding ways for the baby
salmon born upstream to get
downstream to the ocean with
out bumping into a dam or
getting lost in a reservoir.
Conducts Tests
The Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries has been testing all
sorts of elaborate equipment,
such as "fish ladders" and
locks, or elevators, that might
enable salmon to surmount
high dams.
In the experiments,, "sal
mon ascended a f ishway equiv
alent to a mile in height with
out evidence of fatigue," Don
ald L. McKernan, the bureau
director, told the subcommit
tee. But, he said, in 'actual prac
tice "the highest dam we have
successfully put fish up over
and back down is about a
hundred feet."
A Long Way To Go
Since one of the dams pro
posed for that area would be
700 feet high, you can see that
the bureau has a long way to
go.
As for the baby salmon, Mc
Kernan said one of the most
promising methods of guiding
them safely past dams "is
through the use of electric
screens which divert them
into bypasses."
Although the two subjects
were not connected in the tes
timony, it occurred to me that
problems like this may be one
of the reasons that fish are
getting ulcers.
ing 20 miles, very difficult
to drill. Scientists ha ye a
good chance of reaching the
mantle underneath the buoy
ant oceans where the crust
averages only five miles in
thickness.
The world's deepest hole
was 25,340 feet below the
surface, or nearly five miles,
barely denting the earth's
crust that shields the hidden
mantle.
Information from the Mo
hole would solve such prob
lems as whether the magnetic
poles have wandered through
out geologic history or wheth
er the planet ts becoming hot
ter or cooler. Geophysicists

will be able to estimate the
density of earth's material all
the way to the earth's center
from samples of rock taken
deep in the crust. And the
age of the earth's crust and
mantle will no longer be in
doubt.
Few Yean Off
Although the actual drilling
of the Mohole to pierce the
mantle, is still a few years
off, preliminary- test drilling
rfluta i to enow underway, will yield
wealth of scientific Informa
tion. Already, drills have gone
through the ocean sediments
called the "most fabulous his
tory book of all time."
Core samples taken from
the ocean's bottom ooze and
layers may reveal an uninter
rupted record of the earth's
development for two billion
years.
. Somewhere, burled under
tons of sediment, is the earth's
original face, dotted by a lay
er of ancient meteorites that
fell from the heavens many
eons ago. ,
Whether or not the Amer
icans beat the Russians in the
race to earth's inner space is
a moot question. Although the
Russians claim they now have
the necessary equipment to
reach the mantle, U. S. scien
tists do not know whether
the attempt is being tried,
because the Russians are not
talking. :
However, U. S. scientists
are not waiting for an answer
but will soon start another
test hole, even deeper,
through the ocean bottom sediments.
