sent there from their several COM

The raising of the temperature
over this large area was accomplished
by means of some 100000 smudge
pots of many different types, some
burning oil for fuel and some coal,
and placed at intervals in the or
chards after the manner shown in
the accompanying photograph Oil
was carried to the pots in wagon

You can obtain pure water in Pc

grees. Seventy-fve per cent of all
the fruit trees which were in bloom
We're cared for directly. while even
orchards owned by those who were
skeptical of the idea were saved by
the fires in the adjoining territory.
As previously stated. there were a
great many different kinds of pots
used in this work. The number used
per acre depends upon the size
Forty, 60 or so pots per acre was the
average. When coal is used il is
usually lump or nut. With coal at
81 ton, someone has figured that
II cost him 81 per acre to heat his
orchard for a 6-hour run Some of
the oil heaters are used to the num-
ber of 60 or so to the acre In the
opinion of some, it is better to have a
small-sized pot and use more to the
acre, say 60 or so. as Just stated.
Taking one OF the many kinds of
pots as an example and figuring coal
at 81 a ton, the cost of equipping
with heaters and all other facilities
for the first year for ten acres is es-
timated at 449.2 25. and for the second
year SlS6. 25. This provides in the
initial cost for 500 heaters. or so to
the acre. 1t also provides for 40
tons of coal. kindling lighters. so
pounds OF waste, 200 gallons of oil
for lighting. the storage for oil and
the building of coal house For the
first years equipment for oil pots. in
cludtng 500 pots for 10 acres and
fuel at ; cents a gallon, the cost Is
estimated at s49425, and for the
second year s153.75.
Now that the question of raising
the temperature even 10 or ) de-
grees over a large area has been set
tied beyond doubt. the next problem
facing the fruit growers is that of
regulating the temperature and econ
omy of fuel and labor. For example.
there is no need of raising the tenn
perature 10 degrees when raising 1t
degrees will put the blossoms out of
danger. Some are planning to meet
this problem by having large num-
her of small pots and only light
enough of them to keep the tempera-
ture above the danger point. Others
have devised pots with a system OF
drafts, so that the heat may be in
creased or decreased as is necessary.
The fruit ranches of the Grand
valley are very extensive One, for
example, contains 2i3 acres, and is
valued at quarter of a million dol
| lars. Its crops include peaches. ap-
pies, pears, plums, cherries and soft
shell almonds. An army of people is
required to pick the fruit By an
other season it is expected that cleo
tric lines will be running out to the
orchards all over the valley, and re-
frigerator cars will be carried right
to the orchards.
