ing to 30 degrees, you are safe. At
first sight it may appear that if the
vapor in the air freezes at 80 degrees
and the indication of heat still con-
tinues, the temperature will continue
to fall until injury results. But here
very wonderful natural law comes
into play.
Of course it is we'll understood that
an enormous amount of heat has
been required to convert water into
atmospheric vapor. This heat is lat
ent in the vapor, and when the lat
ter is condensed into frost or dew
this great amount of latent heat is
given off into the atmosphere, and
tends to keep at an even tempera-
ture. You have two forces at work.
First, the radiation or loss of heat is
reducing the temperature to the dew
point, while the heat given off by the
condensation of the vapor is keeping
up the temperature just as fast as it
falls to the dew-point. This result is
that unless the radiation is very
great the temperature does not fall
Of course this theory does not work
in cases where slight frosts would
otherwise occur For instance, where
in a dry atmosphere the dew-point
would not be reached before the tenn
perature had fallen to SO, the dew
point may be reached at 81 in moist
atmosphere. In the former case the
peach buds would be destroyed, while
in the latter case they would escape
injury. Hence the object of keeping
the surrounding atmosphere moist,
and this can be attained by frequent
irrigations or even spraying of the
orchards at the critical period of bios
soming. That this is not a fallacious
theory has been proved over and over
again by orchardists who have kept
their land we'll saturated with water
during the blossoming season, and
who have escaped injury from frost
while their neighbors who have fail
ed to follow this practice have suffer
ed. The heat given off by the con-
densation of vapor into dew or frost
is exactly equal to the amount Of
heat that was expended in forming
the vapor, and how enormous this is
may be judged by the fact that the
condensation of a pint of water from
it's vapor state will result in enough
heat being given off to raise more
than five pints of water from the
freezing to the boiling point. We thus
arrive at the seeming paradox that
! the formation of frost from vapor
produces heat in the atmosphere.
In using smudge fires it should be
understood that the heat of the fire
has but little effect in diminishing
the intensity of the frost, almost the
entire protection being gained by the
screen smoke produced. The eficien-
cy of smudge fires may be greatly
increased by spraying them with wa
ter, thus adding vapor to the atmos-
phere and raising the dew-point, for
as has already been explained, the
dew-point is reached at a higher tenn
perature when the vapor in the air is
increased. Moreover, by spraying the

How to Prevent Injury from Frost.

why the temperature falls and frost
is produced.
The surface of the earth is contin-
ually losing heat by radiation into
space, but during the day it usually
receives heat from the sun more rap
idly than it loses it by radiation, and
therefore it grows warmer. Radiation,
and consequent loss of heat, takes
place most rapidly when there is
nothing to obscure the sky Clouds
or any other obstruction act as
screen in retarding it. The escaping
rays of heat strike the obstruction
and are driven back to the earth.
This is why frost is more likely to oc-
cur on a clear night than when the
sky is cloudy. It also explains why
smudge fires, by forming screen of
smoke over the orchards, are a pro-
lection against frosts.
Cold air is heavier than warm air,
and this principle causes the air on
slopes, as it becomes chilled by radia-
ton, to flow down into the valleys,
where it accumulates and becomes in
furious. We thus understand why
trees on the foot hills often escape in
jury from frost, while those in the
adjoining valleys are damaged.
Smudge fires are only effective in
broad, fiat expanses of land. In mar
row valleys the cold air comes down
from the hill-sides and gets under
meath the smoke. On windy nights
the danger from frost is lessened by
the warmer air above getting mixed
with the colder air below
The above theories of the radiation
of heat and the falling of the colder
air are tolerably well recognized by
all orchardists, but there is another
and perhaps more important law of
nature, which is but little under
stood, and this is the ''dew point
thory.
Everyone knows that the atmos-
phere holds a very considerable
amount of water in the form of va
por, and that this visible vapor which
is invariably present in greater or
less quantities, can always be con-
densed into water if the temperature
of the atmosphere be sufficiently low
cred. If the condensation takes place
at a temperature above the freezing
point of water, the moisture is depos-
tied as dew; if below the freezing
point, the condensation is in the form
of frost. To fully comprehend what
follows, it must be understood that
the temperature at which condensa-
ton begins is called the dew-point,
and this varies with the amount of
moisture or vapor in the air. The
greater the proportion of moisture
the less the fall of temperature re-
quired to condense it into dew or
frost. When the air is saturated with
moisture the dew-point will be reach
ed at higher temperature than
when the air is dry. For instance, in
a dry atmosphere the dew-pOint may
not be reached until the thermometer
falls to % degrees Fahrenheit, when
frost forms. At this point peach buds
are seriously injured.
