what was said Sgout the loss Of TO-
| liage by apple trees is a factor. Peach
trees not receiving proper care in the
way OF spraying, fertilizers and cult
walton frequently are seen almost
leafless in August, whcn they should
hold their foliage until October 25 or
November T. The loss Of foliage is
very apt to bo followed by swelling
Of the buds in fall, possibly even by
more or less fall Towering. Fruit
buds which swell in the fall are very
liable to injury by winter cold where.
as II they could be kept wholly dor
mant they would readily stand ordl-
nary winter temperatures Spring
frosts Of course may kill the bios.

There is an interest among peach
growers IN northwest Arkansas in the
subject OF orchard heaters, and the
experiment station Is conducting
some experiments on a commercial

The results are very promising or.
