This may be a surprise to you, as it was to us when word came to The EagL Monday from Elm?r Bergerson. He writes that the water moccasin 'poisonous snake) is quite prevalent in the Buxton area and more especially on the Quincy M. Fowler property which is known as the Charles Morgan berry farm. One or two per year are killed by Charl'is Morgan and while planting potatoes, on? was placed in a bucket for identification, but escaped. This snake is reported as being mure poisonous than a rattler, but not aggressive, he writes. They ar? black rubbery color on the back, very yellow underneath anj dubbed off where a rattlei carries rattles so that they are often called a doubl.-headed snake because one must look close ly to distinguish between head I I and tail. Parents should warn their children about the possib.l- ty of this snake, h? warns, and we agree that people should fa miliarize themselves with the markings so they will be able to identify and avoid the dang;r. Talk that the more-than-usual rains this spring in the Northwest ar? th? result of noise and effects of the Nevada atomic blasts is simply a modern version of an old argument, according to an Oregon state college physicist There is absolutely no evidence that rain and explosions ar? re lated, Dr. Fred W. Deckir says. The theory that noise brings rain is hundreds of years old, he says, because it was believed c?n- turies ago that th? noise of war brought rain since downpours often followed battles. The ex- planation came forth, however, that preparations for the battle and the actual combat were plan ned for the fair weather. It was only natural that an ordinary change of weather would follow- This summer is not tqo unlike the one of 1946 when clouds and rain were more usual than sunny skies and the entire summer was more like the usual weather of the fall or winter. There were no atomic blasts then to account for the condition. Today’s controversy over the atomic blasts has brought agree ment from experts that the un usual weather was not caused by the A-bombs. » Entered as second class mail matter.
