way.

George A. Carter is preparing to subdivide into twenty acre tracts 2+O acres in the south half of section l6, about mile east of Imperial. This land will. to a considerable extent. be put in to alfalfa and grain at once, and to make that possible ditch has been run from south of Imperial through to the land. A force of men has been at work for some days grading the land. and it will be put in attractive form.
 This will place Imperial between subdivisions on three sides, with the understa nding that the south will soon be provided with a subdivision of land. This implies surrounding the town with small farms which will be in large part devoted to fruit and melon growing.

ftNCt OUT THf FROST

lnGEC is OuOC NloIC SNfllp4aluA Ak ksluSA ,he shipping of frosted oranges from Southern California. bringing up again the subject of protection from frost. IL seems ;o the writer that the entire subject has heretofore been dealt with from a wrong point of view. Every effort that has been made 10 fight fros; and every theory advanced regarding methods to be followed in conducting the fight mas been directed 10 the dissipation of frost after IL has reached the orchards endangered. and this is in spite of the fact that there is only one place iu Southern California where frost generates in the orchards
 As a matter which is absolutely dem ons;rzied, Ii can be said that the frosis which do damage 10 the citrus orchards of Southern California are generated on higher elevations and flow down into the valleys in we'll defined chan nels. On the extreme elevations of Redla nds Heights, where oranges are grown al an altitude of 2,ono feet, there IS the only exception 10 this gen. eral rule, on rare occasions frost be- ing generated tn the orchards
 The frost channels which do prac;i- cally all the damage ;o citrus fruits can be easily enumerated, as follows:
 A; Redlands. down Mill Creek zAnja, occasionally drifting over 10 low spots on Citrus avenue.
 At Old San Bernardino, spur of fros; reaching out from ;he Santa Ana river. where the bank is low, and af- feciing orchards along Colion avenue
 A; Highland, frost channel follow ing a wash from the mountains pas, the Rosina school house and spreading over several orchards before reaching the Santa Ana river.
 Al Rial;o, spur which breaks out of Lyile creek and flows in a narrow streak to ibe suthward.
 Al Colton, a continuation of this streak of frost. which IS led onto Col ton terrace, where it is damned up by Slower mountain. forming a small lake of fros; al times.
 Al HighgrOve, a streak of frost forced from the Santa Ana river by north winds passing east of Slower mountain
 Al Riverside, a belt of frost which is forced from the Santa Ana river by north winds passing yves, of SIoyer mountain.
 Al Corona, a small area sometimes touched by frost breaking over the bank of Temescal creek.
 Al Cucamonga, a narrow belt of frost coming from a canyon in the mountains aud flowing down the slope along CucamOnga avenue.
 Al Ontario and Pomona, similar narrow Stresks coming from San An tonic mountain through two or three canyons the frost channels beins split into a half dozen narrow fragments. notably one west of Euclid avenue iu Ontario, one midway between the two

 At Gicndora. very narrow but de
 s,ruciivc channel which flows from the mountains through the westerr part of tho colony. at lower point
 spreading over considerable territory
 Al Azusa, a channel which runs di agonaliy across tho town Co the south east, thence along Aiusa avenue tC Covina.
 Al Duartc, another of the eharae ,eris,ic channels comes down narrow draw from the mountains.
 While all of these channels ar, plainly detined. and most of them have been studied by the writer after each severe fros, of the las, ten years, they are subject to some variation in loca. tion al times on account of wind cur rents, aud in intensity as compared with each other.
 Having followed the trail of fros, currents repeatedly, the writer can say aHAA A'S AANeA iH AANSA SH@huCis SSAdohi or never breaks from the channel W her C there is a precipitous bank. Cold air IS heavy. and is never blown out of channels of streams excep, where there arc gradual slopes upward from the streams. A bank rising abruptly twenty feet from a stream has always proven ample protection from a frost current. so far as the writer's observa- tious 20, and u is believed that if Rialto md Cotton would join forces in building a twenty-foot fence along Lyile creek where the current breaks out. they would be amply protected. Highgrove could be protected by a similar fence, aud if Riverside had two or three miles of similar fence along the river. il is believed that practically every acre of orchard in tha; city would be protected without the building of fires OH cold nights.
 As for the sections directly in the path of draws from the mountains, a study of the situation will show that where those frost currents emerge from the mountains they are rarely more than loo feet in width. If all effort is to be made to dissipate the frost with fires, 1t seems that the rational method would be 10 apply the heat where the labor required would be the least, where the enemy to be fought would be concentrated and where the enemy could be dispelIed before any damage would be done.
 Frost does not belong in the orchard of Southern California. It is never there except as is to be carried there by the slope of the country or the force of winds. It moves in narrow and shallow currents, and the fact ought 10 be appreciated by every person that, as frost moves exactly like water, the solution of the frost problem lies in keeping open channels for it through territory where ii will do the least damage, and where nature has provided the best right of

what reason it could not be learned.
The B: SIS q, has for several years
