i to the orchard heating proposition
with the following result:
Will you please state, Mr.. Hamilton,
approximately, the age of your trees!
Fifteen years Of age.
And about how far apart are they!
Twenty feet on the square.
And what arrangement did you
make of the pots in this tract? Set
in a diamond, or that is, midway be-
| tween the four trees.
What about the arrangement OF the
pots on the edges of this tract? The
pots we're increased in numbers.
About how much? Increased rs per
cent.
In your judgment. Mr.. Hamilton In
order to insure any orchard against
our ordinary spring frosts, how many
pots to the acre should be used? l
would suggest 100.
From your experience in the spring
of 1908, Mr.. Hamilton, how many pots
was it necessary to burn at any one
time? Fifty pots.
You did at no time Except when
YOU we're making demonstrations for
the benefit OF the community burn
more than so pots to the acre? One
time 1 was burning about GO pots to
the acre, but not all of these pots
were fresh pots. Many were dying
out from the early firing.
Mr.. Hamilton, did you practice re-
filling the pots during the night!
With crude oil, no.
Then, Mr.. Hamilton, you would say
that from 35 to 60 pots burning at one
time would control any ordinary
freeze that we have in Colorado? Up
to approximately - degrees Of frost.
Up to 12 degrees Of frost? To about
12 degrees, this is the number OF de-
grees controlled by 60 pots.
What is your experience and judg-
ment, Mr.. Hamilton, as to controlling
20 degrees Of frost? With 100 well
burning pots 20 degrees Of frost will
be handled very safely.
Mr.. Hamilton, you had remarkable
opportunity during the spring OF 1905
to ascertain the temperature variation
on this 20 acre tract Of land; will you
1please state what your experience was
as to the sudden changes in temper

JAMES |, HAMILTON OF GRAND
JUNCTION GIVES HIS EXPERIENCE
In Orchard Heating and Answers Lot of Pertinent ues
tons That Can Hardly Fail to BE of Va1ue to
Fruh Growers of THIS District

James L. Hamilton of Grand juno
ton. one Of the best known horticul-
turists on the western slope. was a
visitor in town yesterday and this
morning. Mr.. Hamilton was eminent
ly successful in saving his fruit crop
from the frost last spring by means
of orchard heating and is regarded as
the authority par excellence on that
subject
For the benefit OF the readers of
The Daily Record Mr.. Hamilton has
prepared the following statement for
publication:
Gentlemen: For your information
l will state that my orchard at Grand
Junction is composed of 20 acres Of
bearing apple trees.
This tract is divided into two sec
tions. naturally by roadways.
On April 25th of this year, when
notified by the weather bureau of the
approaching cold wave I Immediate
orchard with 1000 Froude oil pots:
this particular night the thermometer
registered as low as % degrees at
one period lasting for two hours. On
which time the thermometer register
ed as low as 20 degrees. On the night
OF April 30th, and on May 5, the ther-
mometer registered as low as IS de-
burned these pots and at no period
did we allow the thermometer to go
lower than the danger point, which we
consider rs degrees.
l am pleased to state that the fruit
on this ten acres is today in excel
lent condition, approximately a full
crop. On the outer edges Of this tract
where l did not have the full amount
OF reinforcement OF pots the fruit is
somewhat thinner but the center OF
the orchard is full, so much SO that al
the present time we are thinning the
trees Of the Jonathan and Winesap
varities.
At this time 1 cannot state what my
entire expenses were; neither can
state - to the exact number Of gal.
Ions of oil that was burned, but fee
fnlly warranted with the crop now or
the trees today for the amount of my
expenditure.
The question OF damage or loss OF
detriment in any respect in this or.
ehard from the use of the crude oil
10 not apparent at this Tina.
The usual June drop occurred but
the remaining apples are in a strong
and healthy condition and from all ap.
psarance will mature to full crop.
Very truly,
JAMES L. HAMILTON.

the cover.
By putting on that cover. Mr.. Ham
ilton, did you absolutely extinguish
the flame, or cause it to burn low? II
the cover is entirely closed the flame

Mr.. Hamilton, that In order to avoid
burning Oil unnecessarily these pots
may be partially extinguished till the
temperature should lower, say later
in the night, tby putting these covers
on) and then the heat il increased
by removing these covers? Yes, those
are the conditions.
What Is the condition OF the fruit,
Mr.. Hamilton, in the tops OF the trees
on the 10 acre tract that you heated?
The same as the lower parts, the fruit
Is very we'll distributed.
At this time what is the condition
of the fruit crop on the 10 acres not
heated? Practically no fruit crop.
less than 10 per cent.
You have seen our orchards about
Canon City to a certain extent, Mr..
Hamilton; is the condition OF your 10
acres not heated practically the same
as the orchards here? Yes, practically
the same.
What is the prevailing opinion
among the growers of the western
slope and the Grand valley In partic-
ular, as to orchard heating for next
year? Practically united.
Judging from present indications
would you say that orchard heating
will be we'll nigh universal there next
spring? 1t is my opinion that 1t will
be.
What do you consider the danger
point to apples SO far as frost il con-
cerned? Twenty-eight degrees. 1t
would be well to begin firing at 20 de-
grees, not lower.

pie blooms or apples in setting stand a
temperature of 2s degrees? Supposed
ly two hours.
Do you believe that the smoke or
smudge has any value In frost preven-
tion? 1t has a very small value for
raising the temperature; 1t Is valued
only for creating a black cloud for
protecting the frosted orchards
against the early suns rays. allowing
the frost crystals to melt on the bloom
and return back into the blossom. pre-
venting the suns rays striking the
blossom; this is the only way II II OF
any value.
You would not advise any grower to
depend upon his fruit crop in Colo
rado without preparing to heat his
orchard? Not after the experience Of
1907 and 1908 with 10 degrees Of
frost.
In any system OF orchard heating

$2,8OO, and Kenney was accused of the theft. The defendants organized themselves into a vigilance commit, tee and persbnaIly charged Kenney with the crime.
 Kenney made suenous denial of any wrongful act, and after being threatened, to no purpose, was placed upon a box and a rope was noosed around his neck. This, too, had no purpose. other than to emphasize Kenney's denials, and some of the party kicked the box from under the trussed up man. It so happened that the rope was new and 1t stretch ed sufficiently to permit of Kenney's toes touching the ground, thus pre- venting his neck being broken.
 Kenney asserts that some of the men were in favor of making a sec. ond attempt, and while he was slow ly srangling to death the question was debated, finally being decided in Kenney's favor and he was cut down. Kenney made his way to civ ilization, made his complaints and the arrest of the five now in Valdez followed. The others have never been arrested. Cone is said to be in the Kuskokwim country, and Me Manus and Ellixson are believed to be in back of Cook Inlet
