Treatment of atmospheric conditions has long been at- tempted to increase rain, prevent or suppress hail, and disperse fog; however, until the present no methods of treating the atmosphere were effective to regularly provide the above objectives. Conventional methods of increasing rain, sup pressing hail and dispersing fog, such as by dispensing salt in the atmosphere have been entirely unpredictable and thus do not provide the dependability desited when treating condi- tions that can cause disastrous results to man, crops andjor structures Part of the reason for the lack of success of prior art methods of treating atmospheric conditions is that the at- ‘mospheric conditions sought to be controlled aze not fully un-
