...months passed, the chemical ate its way through the tank cars. Arsenic trichloride, when mixed with enough water, breaks down into arsenic trioxide and hydrochloric acid in a chemical reaction that increases its corrosive properties. A good rain storm, Horse Cavers were told, could speed the tank leakage beyond hope of control. Already a heavy fog had carried hydrochloric-acid fumes half a mile away, where they killed a bean crop. Worse still, arsenic compound could seep through the famed Kentucky porous limestone into Hidden River, in the cave beneath the town, and contaminate the area's water supply...

But there are still some arguments about the commission's policy of basing its production limits on the estimated market demand. This practice, say its enemies, amounts to price-fixing...
...Since we started in 1951 there's been only one application to make rain: The Worcester Farmers' Field Day, Inc. thought it would be nice to demonstrate science over the fair grounds by having a fake storm. But the Board turned down the request. You see, they couldn't pin point it or guarantee that the rain wouldn't spread to places where other people mightn't want...
