THE KINGSTON DAILY FREEMAN, KINGSTON, N. THURSDAY. EVENING, MAY 9, 1940. Plan to Extend Weather Dope Service Sought by Bureau in. New Technique.

Weathermen are A-orking out a new technique which may. give accurate forecasts of sun, wind and rain week in advance. Then farmers, industrialists, va- cationists and others who must figure on the weather could plan to esc ace or minimize the hazards of pioments. Present forecasts cover a 36-hour period. The successful development of long-range forecasts was a "goal set by President Roosevelt when; in 1933.

he appointed F. W. Keichel- the navy's outstanding meteorologists, as chief -of the weather bureau. value of such (long-range) forecasts to agriculture and industry be inestimably large, probably running into millions of dollars annually," Heichelderfer said. He said many industries, air- lines, water-power plants and commodity traders seek to fill -the gap now by employing their own meteorologists or by subscribing to private weather forecasting services.

Aid to Industry. With advance knowledge supplied by long-range forecasts, power companies, for could better. utilize run-off water to operate their generators; electric light companies would be able to spot emergency crews in areas of anticipated slant 1 grain -traders, tipped on whether to expect short or. bumper crops, -could decide whether to buy or sell with a feeling of safety, and farmers, few of i are financially able to buy private forecasts, could better gauge their plowing, planting and cultivating operations. City folks could plan week-end trips to the country or 'to the seashore without having those plans upset at the last minute by an un- haopy and unforeseen change in the weather Longer-range forecasts would give millions living in river valleys more time to' prepare for floods.

They also would increase the 'effectiveness ot the bureau's special 'service in citrus fruit and truck farming areas of the South and the Pacific coast by giving growers more time to. place smudge and other heating apparatus in orchards and to gather fruit which might otherwise be Accuracy Is Expected. If private meteorologists are able to make forecasts for several days in advance, why doesn't the -weather bureau provide such service for the general public? It is possible, he said, -for private agencies to make forecasts farther into the future than the bureau even at the risk of error's without" DEing subjected to the criticism that would befall the weather bureau when it went wrong. "People naturally expect reports put out by their government to be accurate," he said. "Thus the responsibility of the weather bureau is much greater than that of others who might engage in forecasting." A system now being developed for expressing the atmospheric pressure of the North American continent in terms of an index may make present methods sufficiently accurate to permit longer forecasts by the bureau.

Research workers have found a definite correlation between the trend of this pressure index and the resultant weather patterns over the entire North American hemisphere.
