Show All Set For Days Of The Old West Volume 45 Number 52 Delta, Utah, Thursday, June 23, 1955 $3.50 a Year in Advance 1 ' ? if 3 j y V , . - Yippeeeee, but this young f el- law is warming up early for the Days of the Old West at Deseret August 5 and 6. But none too soon at that, for top riders from all directions will be on hand for both nights of the big rodeo, an annual Millard celebration. Delta Plans Celebration Monday July 4 And Invites Everyone To Join The Fun Delta invites everyone, the more the merrier, to join local citizens in celebration of our independence on Monday, July the Fourth, with a full day and evening of entertainment. enter-tainment. Plans are now underway for a parade or band concert to draw the crowd between 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. A sunrise salute will open the day. A patriotic program will open at 10:45 a.m. in Deseret Stake House, and at the same time children's chil-dren's sports will be on the Delta High School lawn. Free swimming at Delta muni Fire Hums Hay Early Tuesday The fire siren at 5 a.m. Tuesday Tues-day brought the Delta Volunteer Fire Department, both trucks and early bird crews, to the Ray Smith place in Delta, where fire was well along in the hay stack. Five tons of hay that Mr. Smith had just hauled in Monday went up in flames. A dense cloud of smoke swept through part of town and the aroma of well toasted alfalfa al-falfa was with it. Whether or not the smudge drove mosquitoes out of town remains to be seen. If so, burning alfalfa to discourage the pests may work, but is apt to prove expensive. l!o Value In Cloud Seeding Report U. Of U. Scientists The extensive cloud seeding program pro-gram conducted throughout portions por-tions of Southern Utah since 1951 has been of no value, according to a report presented by three University Univer-sity of Utah scientists Thursday (June 23) at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science held in Pasadena, Calif.. Observer scientists J. Vern Hales, head of the department of meteorology, meteo-rology, Thomas E. Hoffer, meteorology meteo-rology lecturer and Eugene L. Peck meteorology research assistant, in their 13-page report covering nearly near-ly three years of research, "A desperate des-perate need for water, plus a swashbuckling self-confidence is not an adequate formula for scientific scien-tific progress". The report stated. "The area average precipitation within the Southern Utah target region for the 23 seeded winter months 'October 'Oct-ober through April) was not different diff-erent than that which would have been expected from the surrounding surround-ing areas, based on the relations which were developed from 73 previous months in which no seed-in" seed-in" ttok place." In releasing the research data the three scientists explained. "We sincerely regret that the cloud seeding see-ding contract fr in this project has made claims which we cannot substantiate, sub-stantiate, even though we have looked diligently." "We would much prefer to let these Errors pass silently, but feel that we have an obligation to the profession and to the public, tar-ticular'.y tar-ticular'.y to the people of Southern Utah who have paid for this evaluation. eval-uation. An honest discharge of our obligation demands that we call your attention to the fact that we car.r.ot poss:My aree with the extravagant ex-travagant claims made."

The scientists explained that although al-though their studies were confined to winter months, they completed a qualitative study of summer months which in their opinion furnished fur-nished ample evidence to refute a number of claims previously made by the Water Resources Development Develop-ment Corporation.. The scientists concluded that optimistic reports of excessive precipitation in the target area as compared to surrounding sur-rounding regions were ."simply due to a fortunate choice of measuring measur-ing stations".. In conducting their three year study, the University of Utah scien tists confined their study to an area which corresponds approximately approxim-ately to Millard, Beaver, Sevier, Emery. Grand and Wayne rounfies. These counties were selected because be-cause th?y were the only counties under cloud seeding contract during dur-ing the entire period since the first contract started in April, 1231. Summing up the report the scien tists concluded, "The failure of the 23 winter months of cloud seeding in Southern Utah should not be interpreted as evidence of the com plete failure of all cloud seeding." "P.ather. we think that there remains re-mains good reason to believe that carefully conducted experimentation experimenta-tion in the field of cloud physics and cloud seeding still holds a great deal of hope f r real progress pro-gress and benefit to the arid portions por-tions of the world. We are sure, however., that careless cloud seeding see-ding without adequate field controls con-trols or associated true scientific Interest should not be encouraged.' 1 ' r Reed Turner and Von Warnick are co-chairmen of Days of the Old West,, and a queen and at- tendants for the event will be chosen Sunday.
