1 am pleased to see that some inter-
est is awakened along these lines in
our section-notably Mr.. Rockafellows
article in your issue of Friday, let us
by all means act upon his suggestions
and send a committee to investigate
the methods employed on the western
slope, then let us have mass meet
ing discuss the matter and be prepared
to protect our fruit against another
freeze, which not only make an in
trinsic loss to our community but
would in time detract from the envted
reputation we enjoy both as city and
as a fruit producing section.
am sure that with systematic and
carefully planned action in protecting
our fruit, the fruit growers would not
only be assured of the personal aid
of every citizen and merchant in the
community, but also of substantial
purse to give this matter a thorough
trial.
So let us work together, Chamber OF
Commerce, merchants, citizens, every
body, and use our best endeavors to
prevent in the future the adversely
of the last two years.

H. N. Beecher: Though not a fruit
grower, am interested, as all Canon
ties should be, in the welfare Of Fre-
mont county, and 1 was mighty glad
to read Mr.. Geo. Rockafellow's article
and the very liberal offer of the Fre-
mont County National bank in behalf
of the saving of our fruit crops, as
published in last. Fridays Daily Rec
ord.
Without knocking" l might venture
that Canon City has been considered
bit conservative, and being old, for
the west, in fruit growing, and hav-
ing been so lavishly provided for by
Nature, we have inclined to let our
neighbors on the other side of the big
hill go some in the lead in the way OF
push. They had to, TO make up for
what nature had not done for them.
Some of our oldest business men get
new ideas fromN beginners, the new
blood as it were, did while in Denver
and Colorado Springs only few
weeks ago.
and add to them a little more of the
over-the-range push, and in ten years
we will own the earth.
Perhaps our little set back Of this
year may in the long stretch work out
for our best good l shall take pleas
ure in thinking SO, at least.
NJ E. Snow: If the results OF
smudging on the western slope are one
half as good as reported there is GER
tainly room for much encouragement
here for without doubt the same effort
expended here ought to give much bet
ter results than there. Here a large
percentage OF our present producing
orchards lite in very compact body OF
closely planted tracts while over
there with the possible exception Of
the Palisade and Paonia sections their
orchards are scattered over a vast
amount of territory and much vacant
land lying between orchards. Our hold
ings are also smaller and could be
more closely watched. 1 have been To-
Gated here now for the past IA years
and l consider that raise OF five de-
grees in temperature would have been
sufficient at any time during that per-
| iod to have saved at least a fair apple
crop and probably fair crop Of all
fruits. Let us investigate and get all
the information we can and then while
| the matter is warm organize at once
SO that the spring of '09 would find us
prepared and every orchardist, II pos
sible, ready to take part in the general
battle for it is readily apparent that
our success would depend on united
effort.
Geo. H. Sale: read with much
interest Mr.. Huntoon's statement In
the Friday Record of the results Of
smudging at Grand Junction and Other
points on the western slope and also
Mr.. Rockafellow's very generous oifeI
In behalf of the Fremont County Ma.
tional bank.
Our orchardists have always been
overconndent, even the freeze Of 1901
did not seem to impress them with thu
necessity for making any prepara-
tons for smudging this spring. AftsI

anything that human power can do to
avert such disasters that we should
not spare time or expense in prepar-
| ing ourselves to exert that power in
the future.
From what Nj. Huntoon says and
from what l have heard from other
sources, l believe that some very
thorough smudging was done on the
western slope during the recent storm
and that IL any results can be obtained
under our conditions from smudging
that they would certainly be apparent
at those points. 80
1t would seem to me that the first
thing for US to do is to ascertain posi-
lively just how much good this smudg-
ing did and this can only be done by
sending thoroughly practical, exper-
fenced orchard man over there to In
vestigate for himself.
If 1 understand Mr.. Rockafellow's
proposition, the bank will bear the
expense OF such trip, and no better
man could be found for the work than
the one he names, Mr.. J. p. Farmer.
If Mr. Farmer cannot be obtained l
would suggest Mr.. Frances Bachelor,
the county inspector.
| If this investigation convinces US
| that smudging is effective 1t will be a
simple matter for secretary Ross to
learn by correspondence with the var
ious experiment stations in California
and other places, where smudging has
been carried on the methods pursued
| by them and this Information aug
mented by a few experiments with
the various materials at our disposal
will enable us to educate our orchard
lists SO that they may be prepared in
case conditions such as have con-
fronted us for the past two seasons
should again arise.
AS I cannot be at home to help push
this matter myself trust you will
give nay. views to the public. 49,.
G. F. Pressey: From information
gathered on the Western Slope last
| fall regarding the effect of smudging.
l am fully convinced that the apple
crop could have been saved In this
valley this spring by a thorough and
systematic smudging. The calamity
cannot now be averted but 1t should
teach an important lesson for the fu-
|ture A regular smudging campaign
should be inaugurated and the people
should be educated upon this import
ant subject Reliable and intelligent
information should be secured as to
the best methods to be employed; |;
funds should be raised for the pur-
chase of an ample amount Of the nee
essary material; large force OF men
should be organized who would hold
themselves in readiness to attend to
the work In a careful and systematic
way. The fact that crude oil and slack
can be purchased here at a nominal
cost makes smudging feasible and the
fact OF the orchards being almost con
unuous add to the probability Of it,
being a great success. Both this yeaf
and last the fruit near Fruita was en-
ursly destroyed by frost as was the
case in the Canon City district while
near GrAhd junction and in that ssc-
tion 60 per cent. Of the crop was saved

We desire to say further that the
State in It's editorials has made asser-
