Rain Needed That famous Missourian. Mark Twain, is credited with hating said- "Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. Once this was true, but from the looks of things it isn’t anymore. Rain makers with their science gadgets are at work in many areas. Serious thought is being given to hiring rain-makers for the Cascade area. Rain is badly needed for the forest harvest-work in this area. The silent presence of snow no longer blocks logging operations. The bug-a-boo of snow has been replaced by a more dangerous situation, fire danger. The lumber industry usually reaches its peak of operation in the summer months. Now lack of rain has made forests tinder-dry. In semi- arid areas in the West seeding of clouds w ith silver iodide crystals has proved successful. The “catch” is—no clouds, no rain—not even for rain-makers. In Aiis area logging work is being carried on in a very limited way through the "hoot owl" shift, laigging trucks can be seen on the way to work each morning in the wee hours of the morning when the dew is on and it is cool. The fortunes of many men rise or fall as the humidity reading rises and falls along the scale. A good, soaking rain would electrify logging operations in this community. Where farming operations of many kinds are carried on in one particular area, rain becomes a mixed blessing. Some farmers welcome ft. others get high blood pressure and rush for the nearest courts with damage suits when the rain-maker gets results. Fortunately the green expanse of this area will not I m * troubled by this problem. The principle crop hvre Is Just plain timber. Plenty of rain doesn't harm trees—they love it. When it is wet under-foot the logger need not work in fear of starting a raging forest fire. The rain-makers may, with complete freedom, ply his trade In the North Santiam Canyon area. The northwest, in reverse, is getting weather treatment much the same as the midwest got recently. The floods in Kansas and Missouri were dramatic and terrible. It would almost seem that the rain causing these floods should have fallen on the northwest. Forest fires blacken thousands of acres of timber in varied stages of growth. Many years will pass before these forests again reach the maturity they had before being burned. Just as surely as the Missouri floods chased families from their homes so do these forest fires. When the logger bread-winner has no work, he and his family must move to greener pastures. The defense effort needs lumber. When logging and mill operations jolt to a halt, our nation and its friends suffer. Yes. we need rain. Rain-maker, can you end this drouth?
