SMOKE DOESN'T
HELP HEATING
Albert Cook Says Smudge
Has No Benefits in Pre-
venting Frost Damage

Up to the time Of the 1913 freeze
in the citrus belt of Southern Cali
fornia it was thot desirable to have
a blanket of smoke hanging over the
fired orchard and no attempt was
made to reduce the smoke as it was
thought to be beneficial. But after
the 1913 freeze it was soon recognized
that the essential requisite of orchard
heating was heat and not smudge.
Yet, even today, some growers main-
tain that heavy smoke over the
grove will retard cooling sufficiently
to prevent the freezing of the fruit.
AS there is always drift the smoke
will not stay over one grove but
moves on to the next and is diffused.
Recent experiments conducted by the
weather bureau show that the retard-
alton Of nocturnal radiation by the
smoke cloud plays an insignificant
part in frost protection.
Because of the accompanying dirt
from crude oil smoke the weather bu-
reau in conjunction with the chemi-
|'cal warfare service conducted expert
ments in field near Maryland ar
senal with the hope that a really ef-
fective smoke screen could be found.
Smoke screens were formed by the
burning of phosphorous, the cheapest
substance obtainable for that pur-
pose. The smoke screen used was
very dense, such as was used to hide
the movements of troops during war
time.
Properly sheltered thermometers
placed under the smoke screen showed
very little retardation in the natural
cooling as shown by check stations
located outside of the smoke covered
area.
There is little retardation Of cool
ing because cloth coverings or smoke
screens over small areas or over indi-
vidual trees do not have an appreci-
able effect on the temperature. This
is due to the fact that the cloth or
smoke does not prevent an inter-
change of heat between the air under
the covering and that outside.
Therefore, the only conclusion is
that a smoke screen does not mater
tally retard cooling and is Of no ben
eft in orchard heating in so far as
the low temperatures are concerned.
It is doubtful if it is of any benefit
in causing a slow warming of the
orchard in the morning following a
freeze.

RECORD BLOOM
is NOT INJURED
Cold Spell of Last Week is
Cause of Much Damage
No Frost i'm Kennewick

Damaging frosts visited all our
neighboring fruit districts during the
past week, temperatures in some
places dropping to twenty degrees.
Kennewick, however. is the only dis
trict from Walla Walla to Yakima
where the lowest registration was
safely above the freezing point. Ger
tain sections around Yakima were
badly damaged, according to the re-
ports, and the soft fruits in the or
chards not heated are total loss.
The earlier varieties of apples and
some of the later were caught and
the damage is serious.
1t is estimated that between four
and five thousand acres of orchard
land in the Yakima valley are being
heated this year, and that the cost
for last Saturday nights protection
against frost was in the neighbor-
hood of thirty thousand dollars. A
heavy frost was predicted for the
Kennewick region Saturday night and
all conditions during the day indi-
Gated that the fall would come early
in the evening. However, local con-
ditions interviewed and the low mark
was SO for. the night.
Warned by the forecast local or
chardists sat up all night watching
their thermometers and noted a few
peculiar circumstances. Just after
dark, with light north Wind blowing
local clouds were formed. Passing
over the district the temperature took
sudden rise. As soon as the clouds
had cleared from the skies overhead
a sudden drop of six and eight de-
grees startled the watchers. Follow
ing a brief period of stiffness the
wind sprang up from the south and
moved the cloud formation back over
the orchards. And the temperature
went up again. This performance was
repeated during the night and as a
consequence it was not necessary to
light the heaters.
Temperatures for the week as CIV
en- by Albert Cook are as follows:
April 1, $40; 2, 1896; 8, 1896; 5,
63-42; 6, 64-38; z, 65-34; 8, 71-3S.
Inspector Hill stated yesterday that
the orchard conditions around Ken
newick were the best he had ever
seen, and that indications were for a
record crop of both apples and soft
fruits of all kinds.

First Step Taken at Meeting
in Yakima Yesterday
Meet Again 18th
HOPE TO HAVE OUR
HIGH LINE NEXT UP
Plan Will Unite All Forces
Toward Development Of
The State

Kennewick may reasonably hope
that its high line irrigation project
is made definite part of the next
work on the Yakima project to be
taken up by the federal bureau, as
result of meeting held in Yaki-
ma yesterday. According to MIR.
Moulton this is the biggest single
thing that could happen to the well
fare of this section of the state.
Briefly, the plan as formulated at
Yakima is for the entire valley to
unite upon a definite. comprehensive
program. behind which all forces Of
the state can be mobilized.
At the meeting which was attended
by twelve of the directors of the Yak
ina Chamber of Commerce, as well
as Lloyd Miller, of Sunnyside, pres
ident of the Yakima-B Benton irriga-
tion district; L. o. Janeck, Of Yakima,
president Of the Yakima irrigation
district; j. j. Rudkin, j. w. Vickers,
of Kennewick. Mr.. Moulton made two
suggestions. The first was that the
valley unite in putting over four
part program, carrying on the al
ready started Kittitas unit to compile
tion; starting work on the Kennewick
division before the completion of the
Kittitas; then starting on enlarging
the storage capacity of the other two
units. The other plan was to start
the complete development of the Yak
lima project at one time as one pro-
ject.
Stressing the fact that the Kenne-
wick project is in dire need of immed-
late federal aid Mr.. Moulton urged
that prompt and united action be
taken. eff I can go back to Kenne-
wick and tell the ranchers and busi-
ness men there that the entire valley
will unite in a program which will
promise the Kennewick section relief
in the near future, the sale of land at
$3.50 per acre that cost $500 an acre,
will come to an immediate halt and
prevent the district from becoming
a failure Moulton said. "We are
not asking for greater storage of
water, we are asking for chance to
use the water that is already avail
able. Why, enough water went over
the Prosser dam in 1925, according
to government figures to irrigate the
entire Kennewick district
In his talk Mr.. Moulton told Of the
two million dollar investment already
made on the Highlands; of how the
settlers were already on the places
with ten to fifteen years of work done.
Either more and cheaper water must
be obtained or this big investment
of money and labor must be aban-
doned. With all preliminary work
done, water available and the
necessity urgent he had no trouble in
convincing his hearers that the Ken
newick unit should receive first con-
sideration on the federal program.
For the further consideration Of
the plan the Yakima Chamber of
Commerce has called meeting Of
the directors and officers of the four
uncompleted projects of the valley for
Saturday, April IL, when definite
program will be outlined. Mr.. Moul-
ton has high hopes that at this time
a program will be agreed upon that
will result in continuous construction
of the entire project with the Kenne-
wick division undertaken as part Of
the first work.

SWITCH TRAIN
KILLS H. C. Cow
Both Legs Crushed by O.-W
Train No Witnesses
to Fatal Accident

Harry C. Cow, 63, an employe as
a bookkeeper for the Pacific Power
& Light Co.. for the past ten years,
was fatally injured hast Saturday
evening when he was struck by a
switch train on the O.-W. Falling
under the moving train both legs
were crushed and severe bruises sus-
tanned about the face and body. His
exceptional vitality kept the man
alive for nearly an hour after his
terrible accident.
There were no witnesses to the
accident, which occurred about sew
en-thirty in the evening at the cross
ing east of the passenger depot. His
mangled body was found by the train
crew and Drs. Spaulding and Hopper
were Immediately summoned.
Mr.. Cow was an unusually active
man for his age and it is hard to
account for the accident which caus-
ed his death. Altho his hearing was
impaired his eyesight was keen aud
his bearing alert.
The funeral was held Tuesday from
the Mueller parlors and interment
was made in the local cemetery.
At the coroner's inquest held Mon

altho recommendation was made
that all crossings in the city limits
be equipped with proper safeguards.

Pasco Ente1'tains Visitors
from Cities of Northwest
5000 to 5000 Attend
HAVE HARD LUCK
WITH AIRPLANES
KenneWick Wins Ball Game
with Home Run with
the Bases Full

Kennewick people got about as
much excitement and entertainment
out Of the Pasco Air Mail celebration
az the people in Pasco did. The whole
town practically, closed up shop
Tuesday and went across the river
to witness the big doings.
Celebrating the inauguration Of the
last word in transportation, Pasco
was host to between five and six
thousand people from towns all over
the state. The transfer of mail from
the old stage coach to the modern air.
plane brought forcibly to the atten-
ton Of the visitors the vast strides
that have been made in the past few
years in the development Of speed.
The old stage coach took five and
half days to make the trip from
Spokane to Pasco while the airplane
covers the distance in 80 minutes.
However, the old coach made the trip
without mishap, while all kinds of
trouble has been experienced with the
mail planes.
The first plane for the new service
was put out of commission by fore
ed landing when in sight of the air
port when the pilots were compelled
to make landing in an uncleared
field. Both occupants of the machine
suffered minor injuries when the
plane flopped over after it hit the
ground.
The relief plane that was hurried
to the field got away in good shape
but ran into severe storms in cross
ing the mountains. The first west
bound plane had engine trouble and
was lost until today when word was
received that storm had blown the
aviator and his ship Is miles off his
course. A forced landing in wheat
field mired his ship and he had to
ride IS miles horseback to phone
to report. A three-hour delay On the
main line caused the next ship to
miss connections and the schedule
is not yet in force.
There was one redeeming feature
to Kennewick folks in the entire cele-
Dration. That was the winning of the
ball game in the afternoon. when
Warde Johnson clouted out home
run with the bases full.
The string of disappointments
started when it was discovered some
time back, that Kennewick was not
to be designated as the air port. The
last minute change in routing the old
stage coach on this side Of the river
from Hover was disappointment to
many and the delay in its arrival lost
nalf the crowd. The report of the as
paragus shipment and the grape juice
as it got into the daily papers took
away all the publicity value from
hennewick, and Gordon Moores, as
chairman of the publicity bureau Of
tue local commercial club still sput-
ters about it, and is impatiently
awaiting the arrival of the eastern
newspapers giving the presidents S
report on the Kennewick product.
Many Kennewick people sent mail
over the new route to friends and rel
a!lves In the east and the local post
once people think that the use Of the
alr mail service will gradually grow
into favor.
