Cloud Seeders- and Missourians

seeding outfits made it a cinch that the
formations would be overseeded and con-
sequently broken up before they could acti-
vate their cargoes of potential raindrops.
But there was probably still larger
group complacently watching this interest
ing meteorological contest-the skeptics. For
most people are still ''from Missouri when
it comes to this rainmaking business. While
they aren't quite sure, they are very much
inclined to believe that its all lot of
atmospheric baloney. They contend that the
majestic forces of nature aren't going to be
influenced one way or the other by bunch
of little man-made "smudge-pots."
If it's going to rain it's going to rain and
there's nothing you can do about it. And
if it isn't going to rain, you can't do any
thing about that either. So say the I'M
believers.
And what do the learned men of science
think about all this. Well, we regret to say,
they also disagree violently. Some of them
believe ardently that when the techniques
of cloud-seeding are properly understood
man will be able to control rainfall to a
considerable degree. But others, just as
highly regarded in the scientific world, con-
tend grimly that there isn't shred of real
evidence that there is anything at all in
this rain-increasing business
So there you are. When wise men dis
