There is a runor current that these

of apples to get them, for their equal

So far as / know the book that will

There is one class of books that all
farmers can get for nothing, and it

Agriculture. They are sent free of

the Department issues many valuable

The best book extant on apples is
the one entitled "The Apples of New

for the reason that it was gotten out
by professors Beach and Booth for

from killing frosts. | have had such
places pointed out to me as disprov-
ing my statement about frost drainage.
But | was not convinced. Some such
locations there are. but another factor
comes in that is overlooked in such
cases. The configuration of the sur
rounding country is such a current OF
air blows through between the hills at
night and keeps the air in motion,
and that prevents damage by frost.
Sometimes a fire built by the side of
peach orchard will save it from
damage by frost, not because the air
in the orchard is heated, but because
the heat causes the cold air to rush
towards the fire. The frost that
kills is III the still, cold air.

AIR AND FROST DRAINAGE

Mrs. Martha L. Wheeler, Cashmere,
WASH, asks for information on "Air
Drainage. Usually [ write of this
under the head Of ''F'rost Drainage. F"
Either term may be used, but general
ly fruit growers speak Of it as "Frost
Drainage. - The cause of this drainage
is that cold air is heavier than warm
air, and for that reason drops off into
the lower ground. Let person be
riding along road after night where
the ground is billy and he will soon
notice that the air in the hollows is
perceptibly colder than it is on the
ridges. We have often had our peaches
killed at blooming time on the lower
ground while those on the higher
ground would remain untouched by
the frost. Such eminent horticulture
lists as L. Fl. Bailey have very dis
tinctly called attention to this ten
dency of the frosty air to drop away
into the lower ground and hence have
called it ''frost Drainage 1t is
easy to be mistaken by what is meant
by "Air Drainage" or "Frost Drain
age" Mere elevation does not imply
this kind of drainage. Land elevated
certain number of feet above sea
level may or may not have frost
drainage. The drainage will depend
on lower ground near by. Hence, the
conclusion is inevitable that a level
plateau is not the best location for
fruit growing, and especially the early
blooming kinds, such as apricots and
peaches. have had some costly ex-
perience in raising peaches on level
ground that has driven me to the
higher and more broken ground. Even
apples are sometimes seriously hurt
on the lower ground, when on the
high rolling ground no damage was
done. Ii were picking a location
for an orchard of any kind, | would
take the higher, broken location in
preference to the low and fiat.
There are some exceptions to what

WHY THE MCINTOSH RED?

E. B. Loomis, Ellensburg, Wash,
writes me as follows:
Twill you kindly tell me your reason
and authority for advising the grow
ing of the "Mclntosh Red" apple in
