SAVING oRcHARos sY FIRE
How Fire Pots are Used by California
Fruit Growers

In many parts of California the tenn
perature falls below freezing point
on only few nights in a year, Enor-
nous damage, however, may be done
in an orange grove, a prune orchard,
or an apricot plantation by frost dur
ing a single night Some orchardists
near Fresno have adopted a novel
plan to protect their fruit against the
damage caused by frost. In the bed
room of the manager or owner of the
orchard is placed an electric alarm
thermometer, which can be set at any
temperature that is deemed likely to
hurt the crop. When the tempera-
ture drops to that point the electric
bell rings automatically and gives
warning. The MANAGER stirs up his
men and thew fal to work lighting
fire-pots which are set out in the or
chard-about forty or forty-five to an
acre. They are filed with crude pc
troleum which creates a great deal
of smoke while burning and wraps a
blanket of warmth around the trees.
II has been found possible in this
way to raise the temperature of an
orchard five or six degrees and to
save large quantities of fruit that
would have been frozen without these
precautions.-From Nature and Sci
ence' in October St Nicholas.
