When he wound up with n stay at

to urge on every fruit grower to fol-
low Mr.. Halbert's very timely adj
vice. If you want to see how beauti-
fully this system works, when you an
tictpate a frost, put your lawn sprink-
Ter on the job and 90 TO sleep. If
the tree is all "friz up" the next
morning you can,rest assured the fruit
has been saved.
Practical in Texas
It is perfectly practical in Texas,
more especially for the man with a
small home orchard, to have peaches
every season in abundance. How
ever, there are other problems just
as important in growing peaches as
the one involved in combating frot.
First, select variety of trees that
will bear in rotation during June July,
August and September. Instead of
selecting the largest trees of the nur-
sery, take the smallest, which con-
tain uninjured buds, an undisturbed
root system and no scars. Cut back
the stump to one foot and allow a
growth from only three symmetrical
ly distributed buds. BE sure the plant
the better if the hole has been dyna-
mted. In case you want to do the
Job right, have at east tree n six-inch
tile pipe through which to irrigate.
From the beginning strive to pro-
duce n light, loamy soil that has no
tendency to pack. A moderate use
Of wood ashes, an abundance Of leaf
mold, or what is just as good, the
occasional application of bone meal
will be found conducive TO a healthy
growth of your orchard. Avoid the
use of an excessive lot of manure.
In Texas We have to combat every
few years a severe drouth, and there
is no gainsaying the fact that a mulch
of straw, excelsior. leaves or moved
grass from your lawn will be a great
aid to the tree in conserving moisture.
When il is advisable to water the tree
pull back with a hoe the dirt from
around the tree and apply all the
water the ground will drink up. One
such treatment, especially with 4
mulch, will probably carry the tree
Through the most unfavorable Texas
summer.
Get the United States Government
bulletin on pruning and realize that
it is not desirable to produce a
growth of the weeping willow type.
The first three seasons in the life of
the tree require close pruning, If
you are to produce a stocly tree
with an open crown that will bear the
load Of peaches that you are sure
20 have with little work Some years
ago the News reported there is not

OFFICERS CARTER
COUNTY FREE FAIR
ASSOCIATION BEGIN
PLANS NEXT EVENT

At a meeting of officers and direc-
tors of the Carter county Free Fair
association yesterday afternoon pre-
llminary steps were taken toward ar
ranging for the annual fair to be held
in Ardmore in September.
Plans for enlarging the present
building at the fair grounds We're dis
cussed, and 1t was voted to take the
matter up with the city park board
Saturday afternoon at o'clock.
The officers had survey OF the
needs of the association drafted, and
this will be presented to the park
board together with recommendations
for Improvement.
The fair has greatly outgrown the
present equipment, and it has become
necessary to enlarge the buildings
and add others if the fair is to con-
tinue as permanent institution for
this reason the officers thought 1t
best to begin early so that everything
would be in readiness by the time
oil the opening date.
The premiums in every department
will receive a substantial boost this
year. and special inducements will be
offered 10 exhibitors to make the
sixth annual event the biggest thing
Of the kind ever held in southern Ok
iahoma.
Many minor details were discussed,
and steps were taken to have every
department under a competent head
so that there would be no confusion
when exhibitors began TO arrive with
their stuff. II was definitely decided
that there would be racing this year
and one Of the citys most competent
horsemen has been asked to prepare
three day racing program that will
be the feature of the entire meeting

BY j. Il. BAILEY

Austin, Texas.--In the News of the
nth H. A. Halbert has a communi-
cation entitled save the Fruit Crop"
in which he recommends: Take your
spraycr, let it be small or large and
a bucket or barrel of water, owing to
the tree to spray, and as soon as the
thermometer gets to the freezing point
or below, spray your trees until the
fruit and foliage is covered with a
thin coat of ice" This suggestion
from Mr. Halbert merely represents 4
theory which he trusts "a few en-
terprlsing men with fruit trees will
test ana prove" Although There is
nothing new in the advice Of MIR. Hal
bert, l can attest from personal eX-
perlence the efficiency OF fighting frost
with water. However, it is not ap-
precatcd as it should be by the Tex
as fruit growers. In Farmers Bulle-
tin 1895, United States Department of
Agriculture, there occurs the following
criticism Of frost prevention with
water: Spraying Of trees TO afford
protection from frost has been at
tended with some success However
It is not possible to combat heavy
frost in this way on account of the
heavy coating of ice formed which
strips leaves and even large branches
from the trees. If the tree is in
bloom the water is likely to cause
damage by interfering with pollination

weight in the case of protection Of
garden plants. and spraying with
water may be very effective where
these are concerned In other words
fighting frost with water, as far as
fruit trees are concerned, is in the
Government bulletin damned with
faint praise
What Moisture Does
My experience is entirely at vari-
ence with the Government report.
On Easter night Of last year at
a. m. I turned the lawn sprinkler on
a tree that held over a thousand
peaches and kept the spray going until
o'clock. The minimum temperature
of the orchard, as l remember it was
five to six degrees below freezing on
that night. which for this section of
the state is considered servere East
er freeze. At any rate, it was cold
enough to cover the entire tree with
a heavy coating of ice, but the tree
bore this additional weight without
any breaking Of limbs or stripping of
leaves. Practically every peach on
the tree was not only saved, but every
peach developed and ripened perfectly.
The spray partly covered nearby
tree. with the result that, where this
occurred. the fruit was saved while
on the other part of the tree II fell
off. A large tree only short dis
tance away, which was not sprayed
ripened just one peach. In other parts
OF the orchard some fruit was saved
by other means, but a great part Of
this was injured.
l have such absolute faith in the
great value and simplicity Of fighting
frost with water that I am now in
stalling a spraying system to protect
twenty-five large, heavy bearing peach
trees. l am satisfied that intermit-
tent spraying after midnight even, II
there be . killing frost" will answer
all requirements, and that the water
supplied through a one-lnch service
pipe will be sufficient for the twenty
