THE ORCHARD SHOULD BE READY FOR FROST
BETTER FILL THE SNUDGE POTS NOW
Modern 0cass Realize the Necessity of Being PREPARED for the
Late Spring Frosts-Large Amounts Of Fruit Are Saved
Every Year by Heating the Orchard
--Some Suggestions.
[From the Kansas Industralist.]

needed on each acre, depending on the
size of the pots, amount of heat
needed, and size of trees. One man
can tend to forty to sixty pots of the
small size or good many more of
the storage pots. The storage pots
require little filling at night, and thus
reduce the cost of heating to some ex-
tent, as less labor is required. All the
pots have their advantages.
Frost usually forms from three
o'clock to six o'clock in the morning,
and if only slight drop in tempera-
ture is expected the pots may not
need to be filled more than once dur
ing the night. In case of very low
temperature the heat will need to be
supplied for longer time. Then the
storage pots are much more eco
nomical because one man can tend
twice the number of them.
The time to start the fires is when
the temperature has fallen to about
80 degrees. If it is falling fast it
would be better to start at 80 or 81
degrees. Two years ago the tempera-
ture fell to 26 degrees without any ap-
preciable damage to the fruit on high
ground, but this was an exception.
To be prepared for a frost the pots
should be set in the orchard, with
about a gallon of oil in each, early in
the spring. In case Of a sudden drop
in temperature this will make the
lighting much faster and will require
fewer men to do the work. When all
danger from frost is over in the spring
they may be gathered and stored I'M
til the next spring.
The profit from orchard heating will
depend largely on whether or not the
frost is local or general. If general,
the price of fruit will be affected and
heating will pay, but if only local it
is less sure. In the Grand Junction
valley. Colorado, where fruit growing
is practiced on large scale and al
most to the. exclusion of everything
else. growers use every possible
means of protecting their fruit. They
sometimes put as many as four or
five pots to each tree, if the weather
is very sereve. They get regular re-
ports on the weather predictions and
when a frost is expected they are
ready to start the heating. In this
way the fruit often is saved and
brings big returns for the money spent
in heating.

by H. F. Roberts, Professor of B
Who does not know the Russian
thistle-the weed that came into Bon
homme county, North Dakota in 1873
in foul fax seed from Russia? Prob
ably most of the farmers of eastern
Kansas are not yet acquainted with IL,
for which they may count themselves
most fortunate.
There are to be sure, worse weeds
than the Russian thistle, says the de-
partment of botany Of the Kansas
Agricultural College. There are also
better ones. Russian thistle is bad
enough. Within twenty years after
the time it was introduced into the
United States it had spread over an
era of $4,000 square miles. And it
has been spreading ever since. II
you don't believe this take trip
through any part of the western
third of the state. High winds have
rolled these great tumble weeds
"leap-the-field" is the Russian name
into every cornfeld pasture, and
wheat field until now there is scarcely
a place where it cannot be found.
1t is further spread by the use of
alfalfa seed from thistle infested re-
gions. Most of the small whitish top
shaped seeds can be removed from
alfalfa seed; there are always few
however, when they occur at all in
such seed, which even the best clean
ing machinery will not remove with
out at the same time removing too
large a quantity of valuable alfalfa
seed.
Consequently there is seed on sale
every year which contains the seeds
of Russian thistle. In 1909-1910, near
Nv one.third of all alfalfa samples eX-

RUSSIAN THISTLE WITH The ALFALFA SEED
By H. F. Roberts Professor Botany Agricultural Col

tany, Kansas Agricultural College.]
amined contained the seeds of this
pest; in 1910-1911, more than one
third, and in 1911-1912, one-tenth. This
one-tenth, or eighteen samples, con-
tanned on the average $40 seeds of
Russian thistle to the pound, or
enough to make one seed to every five
square feet if sown at the rate of 10
pounds to the acre.
Now it may be objected that Rus
sian thistle is not bad weed in cen
trail and eastern Kansas. The fact
remains that farmers in that part Of
the state are afraid of it and the de-
partment Of botany at the Kansas
Agricultural College is receiving in
quiries all the time as to how this
weed can be eradicated from alfalfa
fields. During 1910-1911-1912 the seed
laboratory received hundreds Of such
letters. Cases are known to the
writer where Russian thistles have
come up in newly sown fields to such
an extent that the stand was injured,
that is, the thistle grew rapidly
enough to choke out many of the
young alfalfa plants which would
have grown had the seed been pure.
In Wisconsin and possibly in other
states which have pure seed laws the
sale of any seed which contains the
seed of Russian thistle is forbidden.
Considering the fact mentioned, that
Russian thistles are very difficult Of
removal, this does not seem desir-
able requirement in Kansas. There
can be no doubt however, in the mind
of any grower of alfalfa that Russian
thistle, growing in an alfalfa field in
any part of the state is bound to do
some damage.
