saved by smudging. Many instances
have been cited where crops have
been saved in this way, but unusual
conditions, such as a fifteen mile
wind, eight to ten degrees below
freezing could not be controlled by
smudging effect alone. The mater
ial to be used for producing smoke
will depend largely upon what is
available. Any one of several things
may be ussd. Dampened straw
with coal tar poured over it makes
a dense smoke. Brush heaps, COM
posed of prunings and dead trees
from the orchard often make the
most convenient material.
Orchard heating as distinguished
from smudging consists in raising
the temperature by means of
small fires scattered throughout the
orchard. OF course, some smoke is
produced no matter what heater or
fuel is used. but it is the heat tn; t
is of primary Importance. This
method of fighting frost was begun
on a commercial scale about four
years ago. The fact that most of
the intensive orchard sections of the
irrigated West, as well as some of
the best cared for orchards in every
apple producing state in the Union
were heated last spring indicates
how successful the practice has been.
No less than eight types of heaters
have been put on the market. This
is also suggestive of the extent with
which they are being used.
There are two general types Of
heaters, those made for burning
coal and those made for burning oil.
Most of them are made of stove
pipe iron. If dipped into oil and
protected from the weather while
not in use they should last from five
to ten years. The coal heaters are
built either the shape of an ordinary
bucket with a partially opened bot
tom or cone shaped with perfora-
tons in the sides to give draft.
They are fitted with legs, and hold
about a peck. Owing to the greater
amount of labor connected with
operating the coal heaters they are
not considered as economical as the
others, except possibly in coal pro
ducing localities, where it may be
had for less than five dollars per.
ton. Another Objectionable feature
is that they cannot be put out as
readily nor the amount of heat con-
trolled at will, as in case of the oil
burning ones. There are several
types of oil heaters on the market,
each one claiming some superior
point of merit over the others.
Those types holding less than
eight quarts are apt to need refilling
before sunrise. This is almost sure
to be true if it is necessary to light
them before midnight. The type
of heater with no device for regulat-
ing the amount of burning surface
is not the most economical. It is
usually necessary to have twice the

them going. The gasoline, which
ignites very easily, will generate
enough heat to start the oil burn
ing. In this way two men can fire
up six acres in thirty minutes.
Special cans for lighting may be
bought on the market for about four
dollars each. They are made in
such a way that by pulling trigger
definite amount of gasoline is dis
charged. The advantage of these
lighters is that one man, by carry
ing a torch in the other hand, can
do the work of two.
Just what constitutes the danger
point will depend upon the stage of
development the buds are in. Peach
buds are more susceptible to pre-
mature starting than apple buds.
After artificially freezing thousands
of peach buds in different stages of
growth, the Missouri Experiment
Station briefly summarizes the mat
ter as follows: (a) Fully dormant
peach buds can stand eight or nine
degrees below zero. When they are
appreciably swollen zero is the
danger point. When the buds are
showing pink they can stand fifteen
degrees above zero. When the buds
are almost open twenty-five degrees
is the danger point. When they
are newly opened about twenty-six
degrees would be the point of
danger. When the petals are be-
ginning to fall twenty eight degrees
above zero is cold enough to cause
uneasiness. When the petals are
off they can stand thirty degrees
above zero. When the "ehucks"
(calyx lobes) are beginning to fall
thirty-two degrees above zero is the
danger point. The apple buds diff
fer from the peach in that they are
not fully developed and ready to
start into premature growth with
the first few sunny days in March.
In mid-winter they can commonly
withstand as low a temperature as
the twigs themselves without in
jury. After the cluster buds have
opened and the individual flower
buds have begun to show color there
is danger from that time until warm
weather is assured. When the buds
have grown sufficiently to show the
petals they can withstand from ten
to twelve degrees of freezing. AS
they open up farther their ability to
withstand cold becomes less and
less. When the flowers are fully
opened, four degrees of freezing
would be sufficient to destroy most
of the crop. After the flowers are
fertilized two degrees would be
dangerous.

Protection of Orchards from Frost
A Timely Communication in Better Fruit, BY RF. Howard
Professor Department Of Horticulture University of Nebraska

The purpose OF this article is to
deal with the problem Of frost pro-
lection from the standpoint Of Ne
braska conditions. Though it is
written with special reference to the
apple, the practice may be altered
somewhat and applied to the other
orchard fruits and small fruits as
equally well. 1t would be difficult
to estimate the amount of damage
done from year to year by the late
spring frosts. Often whole states
are reduced to partial crop in a
single night. Again the effect may
be extremely local. It is not un-
common to be able to trace the line
of injury almost to a definite row in
an orchard with sharp difference
in elevation. Orchards planted on
high places with lower land adjacent
allow better air drainage and are
much less apt to be caught by frosts
than those planted in low, poorly
drained places. Commercial orch
ard planting has been checked as
much by the uncertainty of the crop
due to the spring freezes as it has
by all the insect and fungous trouble
combined. All of the up-to-date
practices in orchard management,
such as spraying. cultivating, prun-
ing, sorting and packing, have done
much in the way of fostering better
fruit and creating a demand for it.
These things all combined have not
done more in putting the business
on a firm basis than the practice of
orchard heating. The man who
has hesitated to invest his money in
commercial apple growing solely on
account OF the frequent crop failures
que to frosts. need no longer do so.
with modest amount invested in
heating apparatus, and with devoted
attention to his business for three or
tour weeks he can make apple grow
Ing as safe as other commercial pur-
suits.
The practice of smudging to pre-
vent frost injury probably had it's
beginning in this country some forty
years ago in the vine and citrus
lrult region of California. Smudg-
ing to prevent frost injury is to be
distinguished from orchard heating
ID That Its chief source of protection
Is In retaining the radiated heat
from the earth and not in the heat
actually produced by the burning
luel. In theory blanket of smoke
over the orchard on a still, frosty
night will hold the earth's radiated

perature from getting down to the
uaflger point. However, in prac-
'lce this does not always occur. If
there is much wind the smoke pas

surrounding air, it rises instead of

sugar industry which has grown up so
suddenly in this country that people
do not realize its extent, lies not IN
government suits but in the agitation
for free sugar. This agitation has
been stirred up by Mr.. Arbuckle and
c. a. Spreckels, in the interests of the
big refiners who want to control abso-
