Grape Growers Successful Experiment in

Grape Growers SUCCESSFUL ENptrAhhOhs IA
warding on Hailstorms.
Possibly 1t was from noticing the unsuc-
cessful attempt made by the would-be rain
makers in the United States to bring down
showers when wanted that an ingenious
Austrian grape grower was induced to re-
verse the American practice. An account
OF his experiment is given by United States
Consul Stephan, at Annaberg, in q report to
the State Department, Washington.
The Austrian owned extensive vineyards
situated on the southern slopes OF the
mountains, in a locality often visited by de-
~structive hailstorms. He decided to Install
and test the plan of firing OF cannon to
drive off the hailstorms. He erected six
stations, commanding a territory about two
miles in extent. Each station sheltered ten
mortars, and a corps Of volunteers handled
them. The practical test is thus described;
Threatening black clouds made their
appearance on the summits OF the Baehor
Mountains. Alta given signal all the NOR
tars were fired off;-and the continuous de-
donations in q few moments caused o SUD
den reaction In the movements OF the
clouds. The cloud wall opened up fufnsi-
like; the mouth OF the funnel began to rfse
In the form of consecutive rings, expanding
gradually until all the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor even O
sudden downpour OF rain fell. The same
experience was gone through six times last
summer, and has without a single excep-
ton proved a successful prevention"

sion. The home team as it stands now, has
one of the finest line-ups in the history of

men, Turner, Johnson and Railsback, weigh
72S pounds. Lister and Loop will play the
tackles for the home team. Griffith and

johnson or Clements; right guard, Turner;
left guard. Railsback; left tackle, Loop;
right tackle, Lister; left end Griffith; right
