        In Chaoyang, a hilly county in western Liaoning bordering the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the dryness has become a way of life.
        'It's no use despairing,' said farmer Mr Xing, leaning on his bicycle by the roadside. 'We plant drought-resistant crops like cotton, peanuts and sweet potato.'
        Covering the soil with plastic sheets also helped retain moisture, he said.
        Like migratory birds, the cloud-seeding plane of the 13th Division of the air force arrived last week for its six-month stay in the county. For more than 10 years, cloud-seeding has increased the annual rainfall by 55 mm, according to Chaoyang county administrator Sun Yi.
