Schaefer figured that a single pellet falling 2,000 feet through a cloud might produce several tons of snow. Snowmaking will not cure droughts over large areas. It cannot conjure moisture out of an atmosphere which contains too little to precipitate. But possibly farmers in irrigated districts may coax more snow to fall on the mountain areas which feed their ditches...

His thesis was that Russia is motivated by fear that the United States will suffer a depression and become a fascist state.
