PROTECT THE FRUIT.
The Best Methods Of Fighting the
Frost Which 10 Predicted for
Tonight.

Heavy frost has been predicted for
tonight and the local Weather Bureau
this morning sent out telephone
warnings to all the fruit and vegetable
growers in this section to prepare for
the protection of their trees and gar
dens In addition to these telephone
warnings the department gives out
the following methods by which good
results can be obtained In fighting the
blighting visitation:
Two plans are well recognized as
effective, the first based on the theory
of air mixing land II winds continue
this will suffice) in which outside
fires are kept burning in orchards to
warm and thereby mix the lower stra'
ia of the atmosphere, and in this a
large number of small fires will be
found better than few large ones.
Placed In small receptacles, or wire
baskets, near to the trees they Will be
found effective. The second success
full plan Is based on the theory Of q
cloud, or rather smoke, covering, and
In this damp straw, old wood, rubbish,
tree trimmings, manure, etc.. etc.. is
burned to produce as much smoke as
possible, which serves as a cloud or
screen over and about the orchard
whereby frost is diverted, as on a
cloudy night, radiation being largely
prevented and thereby low tempera.
lures avoided. In this plan also many
small fires, or smudges will be found
to be much more effective than a few
large ones, and II hundred smudges
can be ready for lighting and receive
attention with the first Indications OF
clearing weather tonight, and the ces-
sation of the wind, there Is every reas-
on to think that the fruit can be saved.
A third and fairly successful meth
cd is based on irrigation, abundant
water being used, the water resulting
In a certain storage of heat energy
and thus keeping up the temperature
of the orchard. Should frost occur
and no device can prevent the same, il
will be found Of advantage to spray
the trees in the early morning te
prevent too rapid warming OF the
chilled fruit, for even ice formed In
this way rarely results in damage.
