But this coming field season will see major steps into the pilot project phase, leading ultimately to the operational phase. After summarizing experimental rain efforts to date, Associate Director Arnett Dennis predicts that by 1973-75 "there will likely be enough evidence to justify the state of South Dakota to go on to large scale iloud densities In graphic form.

But in 1968, when every storm in the Grand River area was seeded heavily, the hail-to- rain ratio was about the same as for two non-seed years. About the only conclusion is that techniques used there were not sufficient to stop hail from well developed storms.
