and spread out over tho Kround need
r- -r- fires In order to maintain a safo
temperature than does a youna- orchard ,
with more ..pen space between tne trees, i

where the temperature R"es as low as ,

coal fires, anil the same on-hard i'n
be protected with 3u to 3i wood fires an
acre. Youncer orchard under almllar
condltlona of temperature will require
about TO pols or coal heater to tho
acre and about 60 wood fire. In case
the temperature do not ranee below
:& degress Karhenhelt. of course the
number of fire can be proportionately
less. There Is quite a much danger
of heatlna: the buds too warm, thus
causlna: a daniter of their eoollns; off too
quickly, as there Is of not heatlna- them
ennuKh. Temperature Inside the or
chards are recorded by a man who has
some 30 thertnomter which have been
previously tested, and he has them hunar
about three and on-half to four feet
from the sjruund. There are found to
be always some spots coklrr than oth
ers In an orchard, and It is only by uslnc
a sufficient number of Instrument that
these spots can be round and properly
treated.
T.ie problem of heating the orchard '
In the Kast and Middle Vest, where
they have not the protection of the
hills and mountains. Is more serious
and one that has not been much ex
perimented upon. The avrraKe Kast
ern man who hears or reads of the
heatlna; process as carried on In the
Western Mates, particularly In Orexon
and somewhat In California, thinks the
matter too difficult, the necessity of
labor and watchfulness, previous prep
aration of fuel, and the expense scarce
ly worth while, but when the cost of
spray material and other labor for the
entire year is considered and then tho
possibility of the wholo crop. If the
orchard happens to lie below the frost
belt, belns; wiped out by the work of
a few hours, then the cos ts of 12 to
! per acre a nlnht. a atalnst the
yield of several hundred dollar an ;
acre In crop production, really has no j
comparison at all. j
Cost Coiiiparallvcly Small. j
Thj necessity of flrins; Is seldom ever
more than threo nlKbta durlnir the aea
aon, hence the cost cannot ranee more
than to 1 an acre. V. H- Brown,
of the Ros;ue Klver Valley, say that
during 10. with a cost of IS an acre.
he saved 10 acres ot apples vuueu at
ItiOOO. while the year previous to that
one freexe which occurred May S de
stroyed his entire crop. J. W. Meyers,
of the same valley, saved his -apple
crop at a cost of 1 15 an acre, which has
yielded a hitch a 11000 an acre at
harvest time.
But with the srreat aid that the
Government department Is able and
triad to Klve to the f rultgrrower of the
I'nlted States, taken from the various
experiment - of their able assistants
such as those which Professor O'Uara
has performed In Oregon, there Is no
reason why this phase of orcharding
cannot go as far toward the produc
tion of more perfect fruit as has the
subject of spraylnjr and pest protec
tion. The average Kastern apple-frrower
shouts because the apples from the
Northweat brins; hlicher prices and
greater net returns man ao tne apples
of the Middle West. The reasons for
this are self-evident. First, the agri
cultural scientist has been telling- the
farmer of the Kast and Middle West
for 40 year that weedy fence-corners
and unkempt it r ass plots below the
trees harbor buns and Insects that at
tack the fruit, but bow many orchards
In the Kast do we see where the sail
beneath the trees Is kept smooth as a
floor and clean of weeds? How many
fruit unions are there In the Kast, with
a high-salaried man, say i000 a year,
to handle their fruit and eliminate the
middleman? How many orchardlsts In i
the Kast handle their fruit Willi the

care that they would handle eggs, and
pack It In boxes, each piece carefully
wrapped with paper? And, before the
season's crop Is ever set. how many
growers prevent crop failures by
smudging and firing their orchards?
They have some advantages over the
Northwest. While they have not the
protection of the mountains, they have
the advantage of being farther Inland,
of ran ire of the JaDan current di
rect, and are able to forecast the weath
er for two or three days aneau. nisicnu
of 24 hours.
First Tots Suoccfit.fuI.
The first work done along this line
was published In a bulletin No. 8S.
written by Professor W. H. Hammon,
of the I nited States Weather Bureau.
In 1896. based upon work which he had
done among the citrus fruits of Cali
fornia In regard to the method of pro
tection from frosts. Following this, the
State Board of Horticulture of Califor
nia took, up the work and kept along
the same line sugtrerted b -fessor
Hammon. and In 1X9 published another
bulletin, known as Farmers' Bulletin
No. 13. with practically no new devel
opments, however, other than those of
fered In Bulletin 86. above referred to.
Professor K. B. Garrlott, of the United
State Weather Bureau, then followed
In two yeara with a bulletin. No. 104.
which treated of the method of frost
protection more generally, and made
applicable to other sections than the
California orange and lemon grove.
Up to this time no distinct work
along that line had been done by the
Iiepartment of Plant Industry, and
virtually no work developed In this line
until Professor O'Oara took up the work
In Rogue River Valley In 1907 and
1908. In 1908 Professor O'Gara reallxed
the great possibilities of the work, and
by affiliation and co-operation with
the Department of the Weather Bureau,
he has bean able to accomplish more
In the past four years toward the
furthering of tho science than any
other nrtxn. His work for 1908 and 1909
was recorded In Farmers' Bulletin No.
401. and that of 1910 In the monthly
review of the Weather Bureau. He has
studied, not only the kinds of fuel for
best result's, the kinds of pots and
burners, the number of Hres to the acre,
the requisite temperatures to be ob
tained, but also the methods of most
accurately forecasting the weather con
ditions, the mlnumum of cost to or
chardlsts, the method of distributing
the forecast to the growers and the
possibilities of the research for the or
chardlst himself In regard to the use of
thermometers, psychrometers and other
meteorological Instruments, some of
which are easily made In a crude way,
but which fully answer the purpose.
Elaborate Scheme Planned.
Based upon the result of Professor
O'Gara' s work the Department of Agri
culture, during the last year, through
Its co-operation with the Weather
Bureau and the Bureau of riant In
dustry, lias worked out an elaborate
system of general application, which
will be prosecuted and made available
to all section of fruitgrowing through
out the United States In the course of
the next year or two, or as soon as
sufficient funds are available.
The results of Mr. O'Gara's work
are the basl of frost protection methods
employed .this year In Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, and some work along
that line Is being prosecuted In Mis
souri, and to some extent in Ohio. In
the course of the next few years the
methods of orchard heating will be
more generally known, and hundreds
of thousands of dollars will be added
yearly to the United Mtates as a re
sult. M
A few of the conclusions arrived at
by the Bureau of Plant industry are:
That there Is no doubt frost Injury
may be prevented by the use of fires
and smudges. That wood anil coal have
proved to be the best fuels. That where
the temperature drops to. -0 degrees
Fahrenheit It would seem that 50 fires
an acre are necessary. Only half as
tnany are needed when the temperature
reaches say 23 to 28 degrees Fahren
heit. That shavings, chips or other fine
NURSE TELLS OF
CURES BY CUTICURA
Soap and Ointment in Past 20 Years,
Always Recommends Them.
"I have seen the Cutlcura Remedies used
with best results during the past twenty
years. In my work as a nurse, many skin
disease cases came under my observation,
'and In every Instance, I always recommended
the Cuticura Remedies as they always gave
entire satisfaction. One esse In particular
was that of a Udy friend of mine who. when
a child, was afflicted with ecxema which cov
ered her lace and hands entirely, breaklof
out at Intervals with severer torture, one
could not ro to school as the diencwrement
looked terrible. I told her to get at one a
set of the Cuticura Remedies. After the use
of only one set she was perfectly B. .
"A grown lady friend was afflicted with
salt rheum to one of her thumbs, and the
was cured by the Cuticura Remedies. Still
another ltdy hsd dry salt rheujn In both
palms of her hands every fall of the year.
They uted to be so painful the could scarcely
wet her hand until the began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her. I have
also seen them cure children of rtJurworm.
The children'! faces would be all elreles and
ririKi around the cheeks, and tha neck, and
after treatment with the Outleura floep
and Ointment, they were completely eared.
My husband had rteumatlsan oa hi arm

material In paper sacks saturated with
crude oil or kerosense have been found
best for starting fires quickly. Kero
sene torches for Ughtlng the fires have
also proved very serviceable as com
pared with matches.
That damp straw and manure are
valuable for producing dense smudges,
but are not effective In raising the
temperature In the orohards. The value
of the smudge or dense smoke Is more
to protect the trees from the early
morning sun where some slight freez
ing of the blossoms or the fruit has oc
curred during the night.
That the cost of firing with wood
and coal. Including labor, should not
average more than $3 a night an acre
even where It may be necessary to
keep the fires burning five dr Blx hours.
In some localities where wood can be
had with no expense except the hauling
even this expense can be reduced somewhat-
m
somewhat. .
That the results of the work of 1910
In the Rogue River Valley have shown
that many acres valued at from 1500 to
$1000 an acre have been saved at a
total expenditure of not more than 115
to 20 an acre for flring. Very striking
examples have been seen where un
smudged orchards adjoining those that
had been smudged have borne no fruit-

agent "It is the best In the market.
