PLAN TO CONSERVE THE SNOW
Scientists Have Discovered It's I'm
portanee In Relation to the
Water Supply.

The attention Of American me
teoologists has been directed in re-
cent years to the great importance OF
the winter snow fall in the noun
tains of semi-arid western states as a
source of the water available for ag-
ricultural purposes or for motive
power the following summer. A
dual problem has been under inves-
tigation-the development of meth
dds of measuring the volume of snow
living on the mountain slopes. as a
e of predicting the amount of
water it will yield, and the conserva-
ton of the snow by appropriate
treatment of the forest cover. Among
the interesting discoveries made in
this connection is the fact that the
ideal forest for snow conservation is
one filled with glades whose area
bears such proportion to the height
of the trees that, while snow enters
freely, the wind and sun cannot
reach the bottom. The production OF
such glade by cutting and pruning
as well as by planting trees of suit
able species, becomes, therefore, &
part of forest practice in the regions
in question. Aside from investiga
tons by the weather bureau and 9th
er government institutions, this sub
iect has been most actively studied
by the excellent meteorological de
partment of the University OF Ne
vada, which is now planning to offe'
a special course for foresters on thu
relation of mountains and forests Il
the conservation of snow. An ad
iunct of this university is the wei
known meteorological observatory Oh
Mount Rose.
