You'll Find Cowboys In California RIVERSIDE, Calif. 'UPD Memo to eastern city slickers: If you're looking for cowboys, don't to Wyoming or Texas. :ome to California's Imperial Valley. So says farm adviser James B. Burgess of El Ccntro. Calif., who has taken a long hard look at the Imperial Valley, which has become the leading cattle feeding center in the United States dur ing the past 12 years. Imperial Valley has more cowboys per square mile than the slate of Wyoming, said Bur pess. "But it's not like the Old West because we don't go in for roping and throwing cattle these animals have to be babied to save every pound of grain for Hie market. Cattle Raised Elsewhere Oddly enough, practically none! of the half million head of cat tie fed in the valley are raised there. The animals pour in from Ida ho, Montana, Colorado and Texas. Beef on the hoof move in and out of the valley like stocks and bonds in Wall Street. The owner of a shipment may never see hisi livestock. He lifts a telephone and Im perial Valley firms do the rest. The valley's climate, according (o Burgess, is ideal for cattle fin ishing except during ils blistering July, August and September. Feeders overcome this disad vantage by providing well-ventilated shades, cool water and spe. cial hot-weather rations. Besides these items. Burgess said, animals are tailormade' to withstand heat, having varying amounts of Brahma blood to give them high heat tolerance. Big Obstacle Until recent years, summer heat was so big an obstacle that the feeding industry remained comparatively small. In the 1930s, the valley's 80, 000-head feeding industry ground to a halt. Ten years later, Hie industry had grown moderately to a peak of 160,000 head. But still heat Stood in the way of a major up- .surge in numbers. . In 1046, the University of Cali fornia sparked the cattle-feeding ."industry as it is known today by ; setting up research facilities to find heat-tolerant cattle, inv -proved shading and better hoi weather feed. With better rail and truck serv ice and spurred on by a rising demand for meat in Southern, California, Imperial County dou bled ils cattle-fcedini from 19301 to 1930. In 1951, according to Burgess the cattle feeding graph shot up even faster, registering a 390 peri cent increase to the 1962 figure o 549,000 head. PACE S C HERALD ANT) SEWS.

Staff Of 12,000 Record Weather Daily In U.S. WASHINGTON IL'PH - There are now more than 12.000 volun tary, unpaid observers in the United States who record weather data every day. Most of their work consists ol making a simple, climalological observation such as measuring rainfall or snowfall, checking the high and low temperatures, rec ording this data and mailing it to the nearest Weather Bureau. Does anyone use this data? Do the observations serve any good purpose other than to satisfy sci entific curiosity? The answer is an emphatic "yes." by J. H. Hag arty, head of the Office of Clima tology of the V. S. Weather Bureau. He said the bureau receives many requests for data. The re quests are examined to determine the area in question, length ol record needed and specific weath- elements involved. The re quired data, or the next best sub stitute, are then collected, ex amined and furnished to the ap plicant. Uses Of Records Haearty has compiled many ol the ways in which weather rec ords from the observers may be used. They include: Planning hospital design and construction. -Evaluating the prospects of commercial agriculture in Arizo na and in Florida, and deciding whether or not to buy land in New Mexico. Making an industrial survey for a New Jersey area. Correlating new home build ing starts with weather data. Evaluating insurance liability risks, verifying and paying insur ance claims. Committee Sets Scenic Regions SALEM (UPIi The Oregon Scenic Area Commission has es tablished scenic areas along 78 miles of the Santiam Highway from Salem to Sisters, it was an nounced Friday. The scenic designation had been petitioned by Mill City garden and woman's clubs. The clubs had sought to make the full route from the Salem bypass to the Sisters City Limits a scenic zone, but the commission declined to set aside 29 miles, ac cording to chairman A. N. Weir. Under the scenic areas act, the commission may establish scenic areas along public highways which have views of unusual na tural b e a u ty or have historical significance. No advertising signs are per mitted in a scenic site except cer tain directional and on-premise signs. Existing signs must be re moved within seven years. The scenic belt extends 600 feet deep along both sides of the highway. Presentation of evidence in a murder trial. A study of the effect of weath er on mortality in New York city. A comparison of climates in the United States where turkeys are grown with the climate of a turkey farm in Chile where the lowner wished to import stock. Study Climate Changes Hagarty said an interesting use r ian,Mr3iiir. Azl a is In attemot I Ul IC1I1IV,U1 ' , to determine if the climate ac tually is changing and, if so, in I w hat way. Accurate temperature I readings are vital to such studies, and these readings should be made under virtually unchanged con ditions over a long period of time. He caid fuel suppliers base their operations on temperatures. So do those concerned with heme and other building design and con struction. Hagarty said that without the corps of volunteer observers, "the myriad weather needs of our citizens would not be met." Though they still are known as pigskins, footballs today are! made of cowhide. r St MONDAY-TUESDAf-VEDHESDAY BUYS!
