Seeding Having No Effect,
Weather Chief Reports
WEATHER DATA so far give no
indication that cloud seeding activ
ities in the state have influenced pre
cipitation one way or the other, ac
cording to R. A. Dightman of Hel
ena Montana section director U. S.
weather bureau.
In fact Dightman listed records to
show that there was less precipita
tion at 11 stations in areas where
seeding operations have been carried
on than there was at 12 stations in
areas where there has been no seed
ing. April-May precipitation at the
12 stations averaged 127 percent of
normal, while that at the 11 stations
averaged 73 percent of normal.
But neither does this difference
indicate that seeding might actually
be reducing the rainfall, Dightman
said. The above and below normal
AFBF Region Meet
Opposes Controls
STRONG OPPOSITION to price
controls was voiced by national lead
ers of the American Farm Bureau
federation at the western regional
National AFBF President Allan B.
Farm Bureau . conference held in
Bozeman June 18-21.
Kline, speaking at the-closing ses
sions, declared that a program of
wage and price controls coupled with
subsidies does not control inflation,
it only conceals it.- He said that
America faces a two-fold objective
of avoiding a third world war, "pro
vided it can be done with honor,
and keeping the American way of
life at all cost. He called for môre
production to strengthen national de
fenses and urged a pay-as-you-go
program to choke off the inflation
hazard.
Jack Lynn of Washington, D. C.,
assistant director of the AFBF, and
John J. Lacey, Chicago, AFBF in
formation director, at earlier sessions
stressed the Bureau's opposition to
controls and listed four major ways
to control inflation, through govern
ment economies, more restrictive
credit regulations, greater produc
tion and a pay-as-you-go tax plan.

the areas where it would be expected
from the general large-scale weather

April and May.

Dr. R. R. Renne, president of Mon
tana State college and jnember of
President Truman's water resources
policy commission, defended the
commission report in his address to
the delegates. The Farm Bureau
irrigation committee had previously
attacked the plan as putting too
much power in the hands of a fed
eral authority. Renne said he was
personally convinced of the right
ness of the policy and would defend
anywhere the principle of using the
river basin as the unit of develop
ment. He said he is confident that

a tenth as good as that wood
burner always would. She loved
it so, in fact, that she insisted
anyone could be a champion cook
when so equipped, and when her
baking fame outstripped all others
in the neighborhood, she said
'twas 'cause the stove was good.
But lately she has changed her
tune, and ev'ry morning, night
and noon she starts complaining
'bout her range and says it's time -
to make a change. "I'm thru,"
she says, "with standing o'er a hot
old firebox any more; for that I'm
getting much too old, and just as
soon's the steers are sold you're
marching right to town with me
to buy a brand-new stove, by
gee." That sort of talk is silly
stuff, I'd better slow those steers
enough so they ain't sold 'til sum
mer's o'er and it's not quite so
hot no more. A gas or 'lectric
stove, I'll bet, might save a lot of
work and sweat, but s'pose Mi
randy lost her touch? I do not
want to risk that much.
