For convenience frosts are classed as
freezes which accompany or follow
the great continental storms. and
frostH which are dependent upon pure
~ local conditions. Freezes which are
foretold by the weather bureau bring
with them such immense volumes u
cold air that nothing can be done
either by individuals or by communl-
ties TO ward on the damage they 10.
Frosts. on the other hand, diner from
the freezes Ia that they may affect only
single field and may therefore be
readily comhated since they may be
foretold by the farmer himself. When.
a. night the air Is dry aud still aud
the sky Ia clear. the conditions are Ia
yorable TO considerable fall In the
temperature. II these conditions oc-
cur In the autumn or IN the spring the
freezing point may be reached. This
fall Of temperature Is due TO the radla-
ton OF heat into space and the eyapo-
ration OF moisture which robs the
earth OF stlll more warmth.
Accompanying the fall OF tempera-
tuIe. however. Ia tho deposition OF dew
from moisture held IN the air. This
condemnation OF moisture raises the
temperature by releasing the heat that
held It In the form OF yapor, Thus
the formation OF dew acts ns a break
IN the cooling process. Now. upon
this break the fruit grower must seize
when he thinks that there Is going IA
be a frost. lie must hll the air with
moisture. This may be readily done
by means Of spraying nozzle. every
thing within reach being thoroughly
dronohed. This moisture In the air
will form a sort OF blanket or cloud
over the sprayed region.
Another artificial cloud and one
equally effective may be made by
Emudging. smudges are nothing more
thfu smouldering fires OF any kind oi
rubbish that will produce large guam
titles Of smoke and little or no flame
The smoke acts In the same way NJ
the water namely by preventing IN,
loss Of heat. and Is generally OF easier
application than the water method
The two methods may often be USED
together since they do not antagonlz,
one another. But the grower wants q
know when TO expect frost. II At one
hour after sunset he hnds the air stlll
the sky cloudless and the temperature
below 90 degrees and In the course o
a couple Of hours II has fallen TO he

or spraying, or both. When the 80 de
