we to keep the trees growing through
the summer by irrigation, all that would
be changed. The cooling down OF the
weather for winter would bring in their
period OF rest. and thus render them
sapless and entirely out of danger from
the slight freezes that we have in Texas.
Ii is not the freeze that causes our
fruits to be injured, but the sappy
and growing condition of the trees when
it comes upon them. All trees must
have period of rest in the course OF each
season, and If we prevent them from
finding il in summer they will take il IN
winter in response to the lower tempera.
ture, and hence will get through I'M
scathed SO far as relates to fruitfulness.
This thing is no mere theory of ours-it
has been fully demonstrated by practical
experiment hundreds of times in quar-
tiers of the globe where the climate is
similar to the climate of Texas. But it
does not even call for experimentation to
establish the correctness of this position
nature shows it up plain enough on her
own hook. Along the gulf coast east OF the
Mississippi river where the summer rain
fall is much greater than in Texas, and
where. as consequence, trees are Kept
growing through the season, most of the
deciduous trees have turned brown and
dropped their leaves month ago, while
here a: Fort Worth they are at the time
of this writing (November lS as green
and fresh as when the lie ayes had
first attained to full size in spring. Few
deciduous leaves wait for frost 10 cut
them off in the coast regions of heavy
rainfall--so soon az the weather begins
to turn cool the trees go to rest, and the
leaves fall off of themselves, but here they
will hang on as fresh as in spring until
nipped By frost. Our trees are simply in
the midst OF their second spring, so TO
speak.
