nized, he admitted, but how these tenn
perature changes are produced and how
they affect the, weather, as distin-
guished from climate, are complicated
questions.
"All weather phenomena" Mr..
Weightman declared, ARE the results
of processes due to the operation OF
physical laws. Meteorology, in spite OF
the wonderful progress that has been
accomplished in the last decade or SO,
will probably never become In It's en-
tirety what is commonly known as an
exact science.
without doubt, however, certain
phases Of meteorology at least VIII at
tain that end, but the manifold COM
plexity of the problems demands and
will continue to call for extensive fur-
ther development of both theoretical
physics and observational meteorology
: Modern forecasting still remains
empirical in large measure. However,
with the increasing knowledge OF the
structure of highs and lows, the proc
esses concerning their genesis, con-
tinuance and dissipation, and the laws
of precipitation, forecasting is slowly
but steadily developing into quasi
exact science, instead Of remaining an
art"

sion especially stressed control Of fowl
pox, which has caused many thousands
of dollars Of damage in this section for
years.
Members of the association decided to
devote the next meeting June to prac-
tical demonstration Of new vaccination
methods for pox control, using the new
pox virus developed by the State agri-
cultural authorities. 1t is also hoped
that this virus will be made available
at cost to local poultrymen through the
County Poultry Association. Heretofore
it has been impossible to prevent or
control fowl pox. The new vaccination
method, involving the use of virus
taken from pigeons. gives growing birds
on range mild form OF pox and makes
them immune to later attacks when
they reach the laying stage.
The members also discussed methods
of brooding and feeding baby chicks
and marketing poultry products.

Electro magnetic theories may be
"ruled out" he contends, because the
atmosphere is non magnetic. me
planets also may be eliminated from
consideration, he thinks.
AS for the moon and its enect on
the weather, the forecaster stated:
1T can be said that although a great
deal Of labor and time have been de-
voted to considering her phases, de-
clination, distance and revolution Of
the nodes of her orbit, little, II any
thing, of value in the solution OF the
long-range problem has been gained"
Sun spots, he said, may have some
relation to atmospheric temperatures.
but, If so. the connection is uncertain
and Of questionable worth in forecast
ing.
Among other factors studied by long
range theorists, he recounted, are pc
riodicities and cycles, relationships be-
tween weather conditions in various
parts of the world and ocean tempera-
lures.
Cycles Appear TO Exist.
Weather cycles appear to exist, but
they are not consistent over long pc
RODS Mr.. Weightman observed.
Investigators along these lines have
produced some very interesting general
relationships" he pointed out, "but
from the practical standpoint Of pre-
dieting future occurrences in such a
way as to be Of commercial advantage,
little has been accomplished and little
has been claimed by conservative work
ers."
The effect Of meteorological condi-
tons in one part Of the world on
weather in another part has been
studied by number of scientists, with
varying results, he stated. Conditions
given consideration in these researches
include pressure, winds and ice fields.

Weightman Sees Little Bene-

Radiation and Sun SpotsI
by REX COLLIER.

Long-range weather forecasting. espe-
cially when based on such "extrater-
restrial" influences. as solar radiation,
is still in an experimental stage, in the
opinion OF r. Hanson Weightman,
weather Bureau meteorologist.
His views, just made public In q pa
per prepared for the National Research
Council bulletin, may be considered OF
special interest in the light Of q recent
announcement by DR.. Charles g. Abbot,
secretary Of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, that solar researches may revolu-
tionize weather forecasting.
From a reading of the bulletin 1t APP
pears Mr.. Weightman does not agree
with DR.. Abbot as to the value OF solar
radiation observations in connection
with predicting weather conditions.
without mentioning DR.. Abbot or
the snithsonian. Mr.. Weightman
stated:
