TEN. The control tower then in
turn radios this information to pi-
lots in flight to this field. This
data is also sent to all of the
weather stations and flying fields
in the country that have teletype
machines for receiving the mater
ial. The process of sending a
weather report is interesting to
watch. First the observer cuts a
perforated tape on the teletype
machine. When the tape is sent
through the transmitter, it is
changed into an electrical Impulse
which operates an automatic typing
mechanism in all of the receiving
stations.
The observers also take winds
aloft run which records the direc-
tion and wind speed for the various
thousand foot levels. First of all
balloon is inflated with hydrogen
gas so that it has a certain free
illb W MIN SlNCo IL a huOh IL ate VI
ascent. After the balloon is re-
leased, it is followed by a theodo-
lite (similar to a surveyors tran
sit) and readings giving the sur
face and elevation angle are taken
each minute. In the station anoth-
er observer is meanwhile plotting
the angles read to him over the
telephone system by the outdoor
observer. From the data obtained,
the man indoors calculates the di-
reetion and wind speed for the
various thousand foot levels.
The winds aloft reports are of
great help to the forecasters in pre-
dieting weather, and also to the
pilot so that he will know at which
levels to fly so as to take advan-
tage of tail winds. These reports
are also of great help to heavy ar
tillery and chemical warfare.
Winds aloft are plotted on a map
so that pilots and forecasters can
tell upper wind directions for any
area of the country.
The observer is always kept busy
plotting other auxiliary charts
such as raobs, and upper air charts
which record temperatures, pres
sures. and moisture content of the
air at various levels.
The weather headquarters keeps
the observer on the team by giving
him a test every three months. A
poor showing on these exams oftens
results in demotion or transfar to
another branch of service.
The observer must have a good
memory because he must memor-
ize the call letters and numbers
of hundreds of stations in the Uni
ted States. He must also memorize
many abbreviations, phrase con-
fractions, and weather symbols.
The observers also have the diff
cult task of inspecting all of the
weather records for accuracy. Mis-
takes can easily occur because each
observation has so many rules,
regulations and mathematical cal
The Coolidge examiner., 1945-01-19

culations which must be made. At
ter the records have been corrected
at the end of each month, a copy
is sent to weather headquarters
and to Washington, d. c., where
the data is used Cor climatological
analysis.
One of the observers at most
stations is not only qualified OBJ
server, but also must be able to
repair and maintain the teletype
machines in good working order.
Another observer has been trained
in clerical work and has to keep
up with all new army and weather
regulations.
The task of the forecaster is to
analyze the maps and charts plot
ted by the observers, and to make
forecasts from this data. All of
the flight plans of the pilot must
have the existing and future wealth
er data put on it by forecaster
who then signs the plan. Then if
any trouble ensues due to inaccur-
ate weather information, the fore
caster is in a definitely embarrass-
ing position involving possible de-
motion or transfer from the wealth
er squadron.
The forecaster also briefs pilots
on the various proposed flight
routes giving a description of what
to expect on the route as far as
weather is concerned, and how to
take the best advantage of the sit
uation. To aid the forecaster in
briefing the weather, a large ver-
tical cross section has been con-
structed in our station. The device
shows the height of terrain and the
distance between stations accord
ing to scale. Every hour the fore
caster puts on the cross section
the weather at the various places
along the route. Types and heights
of clouds, precipitation areas, icing,
turbulence, sky coverage and other
factors are placed on the cross sec
ton so the pilot will ge an accur-
ate picture of the terrain he must
fly over.
Three times per week, each fore
caster makes a forecast for sew
eral stations in the United States.
Later, weather headquarters checks
the accuracy of these forecasts,
and rates the forecasters accord
ing to rank for the weather region
and nation. A constant poor show
ing on these forecasts may result
in demotion or dismissal from the
weather service.
The technical training given to
a forecaster during wartime Is
strenuous one covering an ordinary
two and one-half year course in
nine months and involves such
subjects as physics of the atmos-
phere, hydrodynamics, climatol-
ogy, dynamic and synoptic meteor
ology, and air mass analysis.

de Lafayette and Arthur Young, the
famous British agricultural scien-
fist.
When he learned something new
about agriculture, he recorded it in
a Farm Book he kept in his own
handwriting. One account tells how
to lay out experimental plots to test
the effects of fertilizer. In these
tests, his plant foods were manure
and gypsum. Unfortunately for him,
fertilizers as we know them today
were not in existence.
Like modern scientific farmer,
Jefferson learned that clover and
other legumes would help heal the
wounds of his soil and give his land
breathing spell. He discovered
that legumes had a valuable soil
enriching power, but did not under
stand that this lay in their ability
to impart nitrogen to the land.
Crop rotation was another practi-
cal measure he championed. Thus
he divided some of his lands under
cultivation into four large farms.
These were in turn subdivided into
six fields of 40 acres each. This per-
mitted six-year period of rotation.
For example, the first field would be
planted to wheat, the second to corn,
the third to rye or wheat, the fourth
and fifth to clover and the sixth to
buckwheat. Rotation and legumes
helped save his land from exhaus-
ton and wastage.
Pioneered in Contour Flowing.
In still another modern method of
tillage, Jefferson pioneered. That
was contour blowing which is so eff
fective today in saving soil and wa

ter from costly run-offs. jefferson,
aided by his son-in-law, Thomas
Mann Randolph, the brilliant and
high-tempered husband of Martha
Jefferson, introduced the system of
blowing horizontally around hills.
A further phase of Jefferson's
farm improvement program con-
cerned experiments in livestock
breeding which he carried out in CO.
operation with his friend and neigh
Dor, James Madison.
The Sage of Monticello" brought
system into management and inven-
ton into work. Each farm was an
independent unit, directed by stew
ard and worked by four male slaves,
four female slaves, four oxen and
four horses. Jefferson hated the
institution of slavery and did every
thing he could to raise the physical
and moral level of his slaves The
considerate treatment of the colored
folk on the plantation surprised
many a visitor. To stimulate the
slaves initiative, Jefferson praised
them when they did something we'll
and rewarded them when they
achieved something out of the ordi-
nary. The slaves responded to their
kind master with great devotion.
An All-Metal Plow.
But slaves and oxen were not the
only means used to cultivate JEFF
ferson's lands. With a lively sense
of inventiveness, he was one of the
first Americans to use farm ma
chinery. Half century before the
steel pillow was invented, jefferson
designed an all-metal pillow with a
moldboard that turned the soil eff
fectively. Shaped according to

Studies Map, Selects
Fiue Sites for Dams

The map proved to be excellent
and one could almost see the engi-
neer's mouth water as he examined
1t, picking out sights simply crying
to be damned. Then, still as if it
we're all great lark, he said that
he went on down the river to within
three miles of the battle lines (per-
haps the genial general-host had
called off the war for the afternoon).
Anyhow, DR.. Savage said, smiling,
that he had selected five possible
dam sites.
The dam in the Yangtze gorge,
he told US, will probably be about
$50 feet high and there will be 20
tunnels of about so feet diameter to
divert the river flow. Boulder dam
on the Colorado, he told us for COM
parison, was 100 feet high and had
only four such tunnels.
There will be "a generating plants,
each generating 10000 kilowatts of
electricity. They will equal five
lines the ultimate capacity of the
Grande Coulee dam and ten times
its present development of l0.56O, 1000
kilowatts. The average total output

The Yangtze will be 1890, 0O0, 1000
kiloWatt-hours.
Within the present range of distri-
button live more Chinese than the en-
tire population of the United States
lao millions.
DR.. Savage went into similar de-
tail regarding more dams on tribu-
taries to the Yangtze. The fatal re-
suit, beside regulating the river-flow
so that navigation can be improved
and ocean-going ships brought right
up to Chungking, would mean water

Australia Asks for
DR.. SaUoge's Help

Back in 1910 a cable came from
London asking the United States
government for Savage's assistance
in conjunction with the Burrinjuck
dam in Australia. Before the depart
ment of the interior replied, DR.. Saw
age was reminded of what he al
ready knew; namely, that United
States officials may not receive
emoluments of any kind from for
eign governments. Our founding ia
theirs were quite sensitive on that
point.
g. =. no person." says the Con-
stitution, "holding any office of prof
it or trust under (the United States)
shall, without the consent of Con-
gress, accept any present, emolu-
ment, office, or title of any kind
whatever, from any king, prince or
foreign state"
And SO Savage, rather than delay
the project while congress decided
whether such emolument be permit
ted, wired the then commissioner of
the bureau of reclamation: "Any as
sistance given to New South Wales
will be gratis and I shall not accept
any fee or other form of compensa-
ton or any endorsement"
AS government servant, DR..
Savage, although he cannot accept
titles and awards from princes,
kings or foreign commoners, has
garnered plenty of honors from
American institutions. They include
his decorate in science from the
University of Wisconsin and the
American Society of Civil Engineers
medal. Also he has that most COW
eted award, the Gold medal for out
standing engineering service, joint
award of the leading organizations of
his profession.
If culture can be served by dam
ming rivers, and capital can be
found to pay the bill, they'll be
dammed-by Savage.
The war will wipe out a lot of ig-
norant sneers which so-called "prac-

"at total cost of less than SIS per

The Soviet Information bulletin
published in Russia calls attention
to the fact that the Russian guards
created by Peter L, in 100, were the
first to enter Berlin in the Seven
Years war.
1t further states that the tradi-
tons of the Soviet guards, created
when the German armies wer. near
est Moscow, in the autumn of l941,
were inspired by the ancient Russian
guards and "are preserved to this
day"
This is one of the many indica-
tons of how the Soviet government
is continually looking back on Rus
sian history and increasing national
consciousness among the people, by
passing the theology of communism
and the landmarks set up by the
revolution.
