SMUDGING SAVES
FRUIT AT ROSWELL
Those Who Failed to Use
Smudge Pots Lost Their
Best Fruit.

Roswell. n n. April 11.-Peaches,
pears and plums are gone where the
hOrtlculturist did not take the precau-
ton to smudge. The apples are not
IN danger unless a serious damp freeze
visits the orchards. The thermOmet Ter
went down TO the smudge mark and
many pots were lighted. but serious
danger is not anticipated, as il was
cloudy and the wind blew a great ter
part Of the night
Dr. Frank u. Brown. Of Hin crest
orchard, the fanciesr peach orchard in
this vicinity, has been smudging reg
uIarly and the weather the past week
mas been serious enough for him TO
make many practical smudge POT dem
CnstratiOns.
He commenced smudging when the
thermometer stood 81 degrees. and IL
Kept gradually dropping until II stood
at p degrees outside of the smudging
district sIhis reading was from a gov
eminent thermometer, the tested Their
mometer stood at q degrees.
Dr. Brown used so Hamilton pots 10
the acre, suudging an area OF four
ceres Of peaches, plums and pears In
the heated area the thermometer stood
at 81 TO 35 degrees while the outside
area was 26. This shows the decided
advantage Of the smudge pot" saws
the doctor. and emphasizes the i'm
portance Of our people thOughtfully
eQulpplng their places for protection
w nile Dr. Brown has saved his fancy
crop by smudging the past week. other
peach pear and plum growers to
great extent lost theirs. One large
grower did not buy his oil till this
week.

The principal reason why so much of

Jarrett with a view to identifying
themselves with the Democratic party
or that small portion of it that may
happen to be in power here.
