PROTECTING CROPS FROM FROST.
Department of Agriculture bulletin
on Practical Methods.

WASHINGTON, August 23.-As a means
of furnishing in popular form the neces-
sary information relative TO methods Of
protecting crops from frost. the United
States Department of Agriculture has had
prepared. and will soon issue, Farmers
Bulletin No. 104, entitled Notes on
Frost"
This bulletin was prepared by i. B..
Garriott Professor of MeteOrology at the
Weather Bureau and defines frost and
the conditions which favor its formation,
and states the methods of protection
which have been found practical by ac-
tual experiments.
The bulletin says that experiments and
observations seem TO establish the fol-
lowing facts:
The danger Of damage from frost can
be materially lessened by placing early
and tender plants on high ground and
crests. and harder plants in low grounds
and hollows. When ground can be Sc
lected in the lee, or to the South and East
of considerable bodies Of water. the dan
ger will be further lesssened.
In the dry climate of the citrus fruit
region Of California, and in the promising
fruit districts of Arizona, small and nu-
merous fires. preferably Of coal burned
in iron baskets. nave been found TO be
the most effective device used for pro-
lection against frost Second in point Of
utility may be placed irrigation and the
practical process which affords the least
protection in that respect appears 10 be
smudge-fres.
In the orange-growing districts Of the
South. irrigation affords the most eff
fective protection against frost, while in
sections where this process cannot be
employed. damp smudge-fres, properly
handled, are the best adapted to general
use.
