Local Fruit Growers Learn of Great
Success In Other Sections in

According to statements made by
members of the Ogden Fruit Growers
association today, local fruit farmers
will in all probability provide them
selves next year with smudge-pot pro-

doubt that had these late inventions
been used last week during the two
cold nights which resulted in conSid-

very cold for two nights in the vicin-

mercury registering as low as twenty
two degrees above zero. BY using the
orchard heaters. however. the temper
ature of the orchards was raised to
thirty or thirty-four degrees and main

a very complete canvass has been
made of the Grand Junction fruit dis

different heating pots that were used
here and we know absolutely that our

find an orchard in this whole section

The experience of the Grand juno
ton growers will have considerable
weight with Ogden growers as the
local association was organized along
the same lines as that of the Grand

the latter were here throughout the

rendered in acts and scenes upon a
commodious stage constructed espec-
tally for the occasion which permitted
the performance of the entire oratorio

AS a whole. the production was very
creditable indeed, considering the fact
that most of those in the cast are am

was excellent, many of the voices dis
playing dramatic and artistic merit
which might easily win laurels be-
yond the field of amateur perform

a part which she carried with marked
success and dignity. She was es-
pecially effective In the solo number.
