COLORADO ORCHARDS
SAVED BY B0NFIRES
Fruit Crop of 1909 Owes Its Existence
To Unique Fight Against Jack Frost.

The 1909 crop OF fruit In the Grand Val
ley in Colorado. from the Palisades
above to Iona below. valued mt S,Oo'-
COO. owes its existence to n unique bat
tie which was waged against Jack Frost
at a time when the fruit was at its
tcndercst age. BY unusual Generalshlp
and the work Of hundreds OF enthuslas-
orchards was actually raised eight and
nine degrees over q miles OF territory
and n precedent was established which
Will mean much to the future.
In California II is said that the tenn
perature has been raised heretofore In
some single orchards two or three de-
Grccs. but never 10 eight degrees ana
never before has the work been carried
on over so great an area. Plans are now
on foot to have every bearing orchard
IN tho Grand Valley protected by next
season says the Scientific American
not that there is any likelihood OF frost
cycry spring in this section. but because
tho protection against possible repetition
of this years experience Is considered
cheap insurance.
The raising of the temperature over
means OF some 10000 smudge pots of
many different types. some burning oil
for fuel and some coal, and placed Mt In
tervols In the orchards. OIL was carried
to the pots in wagon tanks equipped for
the purpose. Spraying machines were
also used In distributing the oil. A lnrgc
supply of lighters was kept in readiness
In dry place Many OF those lighters
were made by wrapping waste about a
twisted wire
All operations were directed from
Grand Junction. Weather stations eStab-
lished over much OF the territory and
equipped with thermometers when tho
treateninG weather arrived, made half
hourly reports on the temperature to
Grand Junction When finally the dan
ger point was approaching warning was
sent to all the ranchmen to light the
fires. Volunteers also in nearly all walks
of life made their way In automobiles
and wagons and on bicycles over the
entire area
So we'll did the orchard heating idea
work that while the temperature outside
the heated area dropped rs low as %
degrees, within the heated area II did not
go below z9iz Sevcnty-five per cent of
all the fruit trees which were in bloom
were cared for directly, while even orch
ards owned by those who were sceptical
of the Idea were saved by the fires In
the adjoining territory,

tho states stipulnte the conditions I'M
der which their own corporations shall
operate; o. &. to allow or prohibit
them to do interstate business. The
right Of the state to enforce this power
does not lie in tho fact that It has onv
control In the sphere OF Interstate com
mercc. but purely because 1t has fuli
power over its own corporations. This
right of regulation and control yvould

THIRD SPEAKER.
The third affirmative speaker WAS
Curtis larson of Pleasant Grove. He
discussed tho following propositions:

incorporation laws. interstate commerce
is not regulated uniformly.
g. The Incorporation laws OF the
states are ElHs ncnce neither the cor
poration nor its commerce Is properly
regulated; but both would be under A

Mr. larson closed as follows:

SECOND SPEAKER.

The second affirmative speaker was
Charles Schwenkc of Samoa He dis
cussed % the failure OF state control
over interstate corporations. because of
federal interference, and (2) the failure
Of state control over purely local or
state corporations because OF over
capitalization and lnterholdIng OF
shares. He spoke In part as follows:
From the decisions OF courts. II Is
clear that the federal government can
create trading and transportation cor
porations. but is this sufficient Mr..
Wileus, in his Federal Incorporation
Law answers: 1t Is not: the combina-
tions of which complaint Is made arc
not only engaged in the foregoing, but
on the growing. mining and making OF
