WILL MAKE STUDY
OF WINTER INJURY
At a well attended meeting of the
Fellowship Association held at Van
Horn Station Friday afternoon,
plans were made to conduct a thor
ough investigation Into the cause of
the so-called w inter Injury. Special
efforts will lie made to determine
whether the Injury Is due entirely to
low temperature and If so whether
orchard heating will prevent It.
The object of Friday's meeting
was to arrange with the growers to
conduct heating tests on acre plats
In various parts of the valley where
winter injury occurs. The associa
tion especially litis In mind the mak
ing of preliminary tests on small
areas where loss from frost has been
known to occur. Arrangements will
be made to place minimum nnd max
imum thermometers lu various
places In the valley nnd to keep a
record of temperatures during the
months of April and May. An effort
will be made to locate all frosty
areas and the trend of the cold air
currents. Definite arrangements for
the orchard heating tests were not
made, but the matter will be taken
up later with those orchardlsts who
are willing to conduct orchard heat
ing tests as recommended bv the
association.
In order that the work of W, II.
Lawrence, the horticultural expert,
may be wider lu Its scope and Include
the entire valley, petitions are being
circulated asking the county court
to employ lilm during the coming
year to carry on research work In
liehulf of the county.
"Although from my recent obser
vations nnd investigations I think
there are not more than "00 acres of
tlllal le land In the Hood Klver valley
that will be at all affected by frost,
the Fellowship Association has been
actively at work to determine defi
nite data as to such Injuries," said
Professor Lawrence.
