FLORENCE
OIL FOR
SMUDC|NC

Ever since the di sastrous freeze of
last April, when n large part Of the
fruit Of the Arkansas valley WAS kill
ed, the fruit growers of this commu-
nifty have made a practical study of
the subject of orchard heating with
u view of averting a similar catas.
trophe. To this end the county com.
missioners of Fremont county appro.
priated 81 900 to be used in making
practical tests and gathering data con-
cerning the most approved methods
in this line. A committee recently
returned from tour of the western
slope. where heating and smudging
were successfully tried. convinced of
the success of the process.
The committee of Colorado fruit
growers recently returned from Cali
fornia with much valuable data in
this connection and statistics have
also been gathered from Florida.
7 he first public test was made Mon.
day night In the Troutmsn orchard
in Fruitmere. where hundreds of fruit
growers gathered to witness the ex.
pertinent.
An acre of orchard was covered by
100 oil pots and the pots lighted at
Z 80 O'Clock. At this time the Their
mometers all showed rs degrees. In
an hour the temperature within the
heated zone showed SO degrees, while
that outside had fallen to "a. At
9:45 the temperature inside showed
rs degrees. while outside it had gone
down to GO, showing n difference
of IL degrees and at II 10 there was
difference of 10 degrees.
The pots burned we'll, making a
flame six feet high aud making n
striking illumination. At midnigl t
they we've still burning we'll aud con.
tinued until after / o'clock. An
other test will be made on the Hub
bell orchard at Lincoln park.
In order to secure the cooperation
of all the fruit growers In the vale y
agents OF the committee will canvass
the district and obtain pledges from
the growers to cooperate in the
movement with the promise to use
the methods adopted by the committee
and also to obtain the number of
acres In orchards. the number of trees
of all kinds, their ages, the number of
fruits. vegetables, alfalfa. etc. 1t is
firmly believed by the leaders OF this
movement that II the plans that are
being formulated arc carried out, tho
possibility OF fruit failure In the
future will be eliminated aud that
not only apples can be grown without
danger from frost but peaches also.
without burying them ns is now the
custom. As well as sweet cherries and
other fruits heretofore considered i'm.
p ossible to grow In this climate.
