KENNEW|CK EXPECTS
BIG FRUIT CROP
GROWERS ADOPT NOVEL MEANS
FOR COMBATING KILLING
fROSTS.

kEtNNEWICK, Wash, March 21.-
Prospects for a large fruit crop were
lever better in this valley than they
are at this time. Warm spring weather
has prevailed since January l, with the
exception of one week of cold weather.
The ground has not been frozen at
any time during the entire winter.
Fruit trees are in the bud, a few of
them having blossomed.
Probabilities of killing frosts are
practically over and the fruit growers
are wearing smiles. With many or
chardists there is no fear of frost, for
they are protected against such a ca
lamity. a reservoir has been recently
built in this city, and filled with $4,000
lgallcns of crude oil for smudge pur-
poses.
BY means of a thermometer placed
ir the orchard an alarm bell is set off
in the bed chambers on the approa CHI
~ ioSl' cans OF cTuQe OIL are Kept at
convenient places throughout the or
chard and the rancher starts them
Burning when the alarm is sounded.
BY this means the temperature in the
orchard is raised several degrees and
no damage results from the frost. This
system Is becoming prevalent through
cut the valley and danger from damag-
ing frosts has been reduced by it ma
terialIy.
