FORAKER NEGRO
 LEAVES IN HASTE Brookhaven Politicians Warn
 Him In Time ESCORT HIM TO THE TRAIN Negro Arrives in Brookhaven To Speak For Foraker and Social Equality, But Cancels Engagement
 After Arrival.
ESCORT HIM TO THE TRAIN

Jackson, Miss, April 30.-(Special.)-A gentleman who was at Brookhaven yes- terday on the occasion of the meeting of the Sixth congressional district conven- ton, tells how he heard the Taft fellows got rid of Foraker emssary. This Toralxerite was a tall, well dressed, sleek looking negro, a stranger in the commun- ity, and is said to have been a teacher in one of the negro colleges of the state. It was announced that he was there to address the negroes attending the conven- tion on the subject of social equality. Just who started that report is not known, but the Taft fellows are charged with having brought it to the ears of the cit izens of the town. A little meeting was held and straws were drawn to see who should advise the Foraker man to get out of town. Two were selected, and they performed their mission. They found the visitor, and calling him to one side told him a train left there, northbound in few minutes, and that the safest thing he could do was to get aboard and shake the dust of Brookhaven from his feet. The emissary wanted to explain, but no explanations went. They escorted him to the depot and stood guard till the train came along. Brookhaven does not want and will not have any social equality talks on convention days or at any other time, and Brookhaven has way of do- ing things, even in spite of military com panies.
 Adjutant General Fridge has returned from Washington, where he went to see the war department on military matters concerning the state troops in Mississippi, and states that he got practically every- thing he went for and is well pleased with his trip. General Fridge had been advised that the department would ship out the olive drab uniforms for the Ms sissippi national guard so as to arrive here the latter part of July. He wanted them shipped to arrive in Jackson July 1, so that the soldier boys could don them for the encampment at Chickamauga the third week in July, and the authorities promised he should have them. The passage of the military bill now before Congress will settle to whether Mis- sissippi goes into camp this summer, but General Fridge feels hopeful it will pass before Congress adjourns, having been favorably reported by the committed If it does not pass, Mississippi will not have funds sufficient to enable her troops to participate in the encampment

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO
INTEREST ALL FRUIT GROWERS

degrees which is plenty in their local
ity.
The committee from the Grand Jun
ction Fruit Growers Assn. that went
to California to look into this matter
of Orchard Heating are more con-
vinced than ever of the success Of the
process and they say, that Orchard
Heating is an unqualified success, that
it can be done and done successfully
and at a cost that is so little Is COM
parison with the good that it will do
as to be practically a most effective in
surance of the crop. With the results
obtained by the committee who have
been experimenting on Orchard Heat
ing in this locality and the informa-
ton that has been obtained through
correspondence with orchardists in
California there is not the slightest
doubt that IL the fruit growers Of this
community will Just take hold and
carry out the plans that are being for
mulated for the protection Of the Can
on City orchards they would eliminate
fruit failures In the future. And not
only could We grow apples success
fully but We could grow peaches
without burying the trees and make
them grow Just ~ we'll a. they do in
the famous peach growing districts Of
Colorado. We can also grow sweet
cherries and other fruits that II has
been heretofore impossible for us to
grow.

the LINCOLN PARK EXPERIMENT
CONFIRMS RESULT IN EAST CANON

Fifty of the pots burned crude oil
and the remainder gas oil and Of the
65 OF them still ignited at midnight IS
were burning gas oil and 80 crude
oil. Twelve Of the pots each had o
capacity for s quarts, the others one
gallon each. Those pots that burned
out before midnight did 80 because
they boiled over In consequence OF
water having become mixed up with
the burning material.
Everybody who witnessed the ex-
pertinent was enthusiastic over Its
success and its practicability to COM
bat the ravages of the frost in our
orchards. The orchard, brightly H.
Illuminated as 1t was by the pots Of
burning oil, presented a beautiful ap-
pearance and brought out many Wis
itors, among them being a considera-
BILE number OF young ladies.
So conclusive have the tests OF the
last two nights been that ranchers
here need have no further apprehen-
sion OF danger to their orchards from
frost. They have proven that we can
save our fruit as well as the people
OF California can save theirs. They
have given ranchers here a hope that
they can grow peaches as we'll as the
people Of the western slope, without
covering the trees during the winter
months.
At Palisade land on which peaches
can be grown is worth anywhere from
81 500 to $4,000 an acre. II we can
protect our peach trees from the frost
half a dozen nights during the winter
and spring months we can grow as
good peaches as they can at Palisade
The orchard heating system about to
be adopted here may be the means
I OF opening up to bur people the real
horticultural possibilities OF the Can
on City district. With 1t we can Ger.
tainly produce a class OF fruits that
have heretofore been a very hazar-
dous crop to say the least. On the
western slope and In Utah orchardisti
have no trouble in growing the Royal
Ann, the Royal Duke and other varie.
ties Of cherries which are exotic "a
this district With orchard heating
we may profitably produce them here
The exhibition Of orchard heating ai
the Hubbell ranch Tuesday night was
certainly very gratifying to the horti.
culturists Of this section. That they
have not resorted to It before to pro.
tect their crops seems strange in the
light Of recent experiments.
CanÌƒon City record. [volume] (CanÌƒon City, Colo.) 1883-192?, 1908-06-25

There was a gathering of three
hundred interested people at the Hub
bell ranch on Grand avenue. lincoln
Park, Tuesday night to watch the ex-
pertinent in orchard heating, and to
note its possibilities as a means Of
saving the fruit crop from injury by
the frost. The test at the Hubbell
ranch was in all respects the same
as the one made at the Troutman
place in East Canon the previous
night and was fully as satisfactory in
Its results.
While a few people were skeptical,
a few weeks ago in relation to the
value OF orchard heating as an agen-
cy In the protection of the trees from
the cold. all uncertainty upon that
subject has been dissipated by the
very successful experiments conduct
ed here during the last two or three
days, as 1t has been demonstrated
that the temperature may be raised
from 10 to ~ degrees without serious
difficulty.
An acre on Hubbell's ranch was Sc
lected on which to make the test, the
same equipment being used that was
reQuisitioned for the experiment In
East Canon the night before. Ninety
nine pots were used and the tempera-
ture in the heated zone was raised
10 degrees in one hour. Half the pots
were lighted at 8 o'clock by Frank
Broughton, six minutes being required
for him to ignite them. and the re-
mainder at s:45 o'clock. When the
experiment began the temperature
was 65 degrees. One half hour later
1t was GA degrees outside the heated
territory and 20 degrees inside the
heated zone. The record shows that
at 9 o'clock the temperature was GO
degrees outside and 10 degrees inside
there being at one time, soon after
all the pots were lighted, rise Of
degrees in fifteen minutes. At $3.50
the outside temperature was 60 and
the inside 70. At 10 o'clock 1t was
outside 60; inside II. At 1890 1t was
outside 50, inside 68. At II O'Clock II
was outside 81, inside 62. At 11:30
o'clock 1t was outside "a, inside 81
At midnight the thermometer showed
the outside temperature to be "a and
the inside so degrees. At 1885
O'Clock IA Of the pots had burned out
At 1920 O'Clock 22 of them had burn.
ed out and. At 10 o'clock 81 Of them
had burned out.
