OGDEN, Utah, February Is. 1919.
Fifty million dollars loss Is still the fig
ure given by the Orange Growers Asso-
citation as the amount of damage to
Southern California by the January
freeze. although they estimate that 40 per
cent OF the orange crop and 10 per cent
OF the lemon crop will be saved In
Orange county. Of which Santa Ana is
the county seat. and even in southern
Los Angeles county, adjoining, the dam
age is not SO great as elsewhere
The only similar frost known in fifty
years was one of equal severity thirty
two years ago. in October, $780, There
were then three days of sleighing. Au
thority for this history are B. d. Wilson
and l.. j. Rose. who planted the first
orange trees in California. Mr. Rose set
tied in 1850. and fifty years ago planted
a eucalyptus tree, which is now seven
feet in diameter. Prior to the freeze of
1880 there were many beautiful lime
hedges in Pasadena, but all were killed,
except one.
Theodore p. Lukens of Pasadena an
authority on trees, points out three facts
which are evident since the freeze: Cd
That orange trees which were not trim
med close to the ground are not so badly
(2) That young trees the main
stem of which was wrapped well into
the top are preserved. CD That the fol-
lowing treatment prevented any serious
damage. viz: Thorough cultivation after
the growing season. SO that the ground
was loose. and the saturation of this soil
with water by sprinkling the night be-
fore a threatened frost The presence OF
growth Of lentels or other green vega
tation had the same effect in taking
the frost and relieving the trees. Mr.
Lukens each fall cuts back the new
growth on a fig tree in his yard within
three inches of the starting point at the
beginning Of the season. He believes this
good plan, since the tree bears about
200 pounds of figs each year.

Hard Luck Story.

The regrettable passing from the ranks
of turfmen of Fred Luzader. the kindly
Latonian, and known nationally as the
trainer of the useful stable of John r.
Wainwright, brings to mind forcibly
chain of i'll luck which has pursued the
stable of the Pittsburgh capitalist for the
last twelvemonth. The links OF this
chain have been forged relentleSSly by
the hand of fate and. taken in connection
with the death of his capable trainer.
have caused no end of comment among
the horsemen. The first of these mis-
fortunes came with the illness of Mr..
Luzader himself a year ago. Then here
at Palmetto Park Norman Kennedy, one
of the best riders i'll the country, sud
denly was stricken unconscious at the
track one afternoon III February, ana
was rushed to hospital. You must
never try to ride again here the physi-
clans told the Wainwright rider. Excess
siye reduction had terminated the
Jockeys career on the American turf.
AS his successor Mr.. LuZader. indentured
MavIin McDonough, Il Philadelphia lad.
He had not been riding more than a
month for the stable when he was accl-
dentally shot and killed while at play by
another jockey, Milton Nathan, in the
Churchill Downs track. a lew DAYS later
Mr. Luzader opened the stall door OF Al
Muller one morning to find the horse
stretched out dead. The latest misfortune
is wildly remembered by the horsemen.
High Private, shipped $40 miles at great
expense TO compete III TIC <hhiSi ieaAi "a
tional handicap at Laurel, was forbidden
to start by the stewards on technicality,
and lost a chance which his owner and
trainer thought certain of annexing the
$4,000 prize. The death of Mr.. Luzader
himself is the latest eerie circumstance.
Speculation is already rife on the pos
sible winner of the Palmetto Derby, first
of the years valuable three-year-old
races for distance performers. Judge

Judge Wright Unbeaten.

Bernadotte is still a maiden, but Charlie
Patterson has had orders to go slow with
the son of Contestor and Reality. Judge
Wright, on the other hand is unbeaten.
He is the best youngster in the Tennessee
stable. He was bred by ]. s. Mccullough,
state auditor of Illinois, and is by Super
man, a son of Commando and Anomaly
by Debacle. Judge Wright has been burn
ing up the course in his workouts, and
the only question remaining unanswered
is whether he can so a route. SO far he
has given indication that he can't
negotiate the distance.
Bernadotte certainly can do so, and his
class is the unanswered factor. n. B.

Two months ago talk was rife on the
part of the better class of horsemen as to
