Nebraska Experiments

The Department of Horticulture of
the University of Nebraska has also
conducted tests in frost prevention.
Prof L. f. Howard states that on two
acres treated in 1910 at the eXperim ent
station orchard, temperature was kept
up from three to four degrees higher
than outside against a twenty mile
wind. Sixty heaters per acre of the
sliding type were used and at no time
were they more than half open. This
was considered highly satisfactory
considering the unusual conditions UNI
der which they We're working He
believes that fifty heaters per acre
of this type, going half open, on an
ordinary still frost night would raise
the temperature eight to twelve de-
grees.
The frost service given here last
year by the weather bureau, was en-
inently satisfactorily and doubtless
will be repeated the coming spring.
With frost service. and an expert
ment conducted by the state college
officials under conditions which would
be fairly typical next spring. fruit
growers of the Yakima valley would
be in position the following season
to take definite and intelligent steps
in the matter of Frost prevention.
