LIGHT DAMAGE.
BY FROST OF
FEBRUARY STH
BY +. A. BAUGHAIAN
Representative, U. S. Weather
kureau

Even though temperatures the
morning OF February were ex-
tremely low and remained at the
low points an unusually long time
the resulting damage to crops was
remarkably light. This is due III
all probability to the dryness of
the air during the low tempera-
lures which did not reach the dew
point in any section of the valley
except where orchards were irri-
gated.
A few amateur "smudgers" saved
their squash or tomato crops on
small acreages by piling on fuel in
great quantities, using old auto
mobile tires. Many of these anna
ture operators lost their crop be-
cause of lack of sufficient fuel.
There were two instances of sys-
tematic protection by artificial
heating. Regular orchard heaters
were used At the Whitmer nur-
sery south of Holtville bricket
heaters were used and the temper
ature was kept above the danger
point for the tender sapling grape
fruit all night. Northeast of Cali
ratria there were four acres of
squash plants over which there
were distributed about 95 oil burn
ing orchard heaters. The plants
we're not protected by a good brush,
but were exposed directly to the
sky. The heaters were lighted be-
fore midnight but damage to ten
der leaves and blossoms resulted
Notwithstanding the heavy smudge
thrown over the patch by the heat
crs.
l believe that if brush covered
the plant, protecting it from direct
radiation to the sky, there would
have been no damage to the crop
since the temperature fell to but
$50 degrees. The heaters would be
much more effective if confined
to smaller areas per heater (not
more than one acre per hundred
heaters. Mr.. Elster, owner of the
squash patch, still believes that
the heaters are a worth while pro-
lection and blames the position
CT the brush for the damage which
did occur.
Several pea growers took advan-
tage of the advance frost warn
ing broadcast over radio station
KNx, Hollywood at 8 D. m. each
evening. and published in the local
press the morning preceding the
cold night. These growers picked
several thousand dollars worth of
peas and saved them from being
killed the following morning. Grow
ers who did not heed the frost
warning lost their entire crop of
peas which was to be harvested
during the next few weeks.
The temperature was from l to
q degrees higher in irrigated or
chards during the cold night and
1t is believed that under dry air
conditions this irrigation will re-

Therefore I would recommend in this
hand that South reply with bid Of
one spade.
This is another one over one fore
ing bid, and In addition, it Is the
third constructive bid. There Is no
question but that South would prefer
the contract to be hearts rather than

card heart suit.
His partner cannot pass either the
one over one force or the third con-
structive bid. To respond with two
hearts would be making q sign-off
bid, therefore North elected to make
the fourth constructive bid and over
called the bid Of one spade with q bid
of two diamonds.
This is q fourth constructive bid
and definitely states that the part
nership has elected to carry the hand
to game. It is game force just the
same as an original forcing two bid
Or original forcing three bid.
South now responds with two no

not Interested In q slam In this hand
unless his partner has some reserve
strength. It is better to bid two no
trump In order to give partner an
opportunity to show whether or not
he holds q five card heart suit.
After the bid OF two no trump
North could not allow the hand ia
be played at no trump but should re-
spond with three hearts. showing q
good five card heart suit.
This is all the information that
South needs to carry the contract to
four heartS-as matter of fact, he
would be justified in bidding five
hearts. However, even after a bid Of
five hearts, North should pass, as his
partner may be expecting to find
strength In diamonds.
