In this section 1.-THE mercury was
80 degrees before the work commence
ed, at $3.50 in the morning, and in all
the orchards was tending downward
when operations began. Indeed, the
night was much colder than was an
ticipated and the temperature was
NEAR the danger point in a large por-
tion of the valley before morning.
1t gives me great pleasure to an
nounce, as the result of the work OF
Saturday night, that henceforth there
need be no serious loss of fruit in the
average situation, where there is or
ganized preparation ON lines now
demonstrated to be valuable.
1t is not proper to give in detail be-
fore the committees report is made
public all the particulars of the study
made, but I desire to state a few
points regarding which [ feel reason
ably sure
I do not feel certain that the eX-
pertinent with moist straw burning
demonstrated it's value except as an
adjunct to other methods. In the Or
chard where this was used there were
excellent cypress windbrea<s, which
helped materially i'm holding up the
tempera ture In this orchard the mer-
curry stood uniformly one degree
higher than in adjacent orchards, but
7 do not think it can be certain that
the smudge may have all the credit
of this. The committee propose to
give more thorough tests of this sys-
tenn before finally giving an opinion.

used near, and under similar local
conditions, gave identical results with
the straw test; but this test was not
satisfactory, since "a single machine
could not be expected to change con-
ditions over so large an area.
The steam apparatus ON the navel
orchard of Mr. Grant, the most COM
plete of the kind yet USED, did not
raise either the dew point or the
Temperature in the least. It is i'm
possible that if 40 had been used in
stead of 10, the result might have
been different But [ am not inclined
TO be1leve success can be attained by
this process. The truth lis that the
dew point was not raised perceptibly,
as was expected; and the cold in
creased until it reached the dew
point. The moisture settled and turn
ed into frost on the leaves OF the
trees. and the temperature was NOT
different after four hours test from
that in the open plain near
But in the Seeding orchard near,
where 20 coal baskets to the acre
we're burning, we found the temper
allure four degrees higher than in the
