FROST DAMAGES
THE FRUIT CROP
Jack Morrison Says Hang
Tin in Peach Trees and
Scare Birds Off.

Frost that probably did 4 great deal
of damage to fruit in the valley above
and below Fl Paso, visited this region
Sunday night, following the snow OF
SATURDAY fhe snow and the accom-
panying cold did no damage to the 1rult.
it Is said, but the frost was severe
enough to do considerable damage where
smudgepOts were not kept going
In the city. where people knew how,
it was possible to offset the damage BY
the frost BY spraying the trees before
the sun GOT onto them. but IN the valley
this was not possible. IL Is stated by
men who have tried the plan often that
If a tree OF a bush Is sprayed with cold
water after a frost, before the sun
strikes il. the frost Is thawed out by
the water and does no damage, but
where the sun strikes a tree or bush be-
fore 1t has been sprayed, the damage Is
irreparable.
Manv fruit trees were already bud
ding, some OF them biOssOmIng, IN the
city and the valley.
With the appearance of the buds and
blossoms. the English sparrows have
made their appearance also. These are
the most destructive pests with which
fruit growers have TO contend. They eat
the buds from the peach and pear trees
as soon as they appear. Plum trees are
not moIested by these little pests. for
some mpccomtable reason.
Jack Morrison, who has some very fine
fruit trees at his home in Fl PasO. SAYS
he has discovered a remedy to keep the
birds away from his peach trees. and
that Is to hang a large piece OF shiny
tin in the center of each tree. The sun
shines on this and frightens the birds
away. So far. they have kept a safe
distance from every tree in which he has
hung a piece of tin. He saws the birds
have not bothered his plum trees, but
in years past. they have denuded the
peach trees of all their buds.
Mr. Morrison saved all his trees from
the frost by covering them with canvas
and burning a lantern gnder each piece
of canvas
