, Each year frost take an. enor-
moui toll from farmers and orchard
s' lata throughout tha UnKed State.
Home districts are natnrally much
less subject to frost damage than
others, but there Is probably no sec
lion Jn the United Btates proper
where frosts do not occur at In
tervals. Generally speaking, the fruit grower
Is one of the heaviest losers through
dsmsK by frost, on account of the value
of his crop and the fact that a crop lost
cannot be replaced, while the care of the
orchard must be continued throughout
the year.
Mont fruits are of much better quality
Then prown In the coldest locality
where they will mature. Apples could
be prown In Southern California with
out danger of frost dajnage, but the fruit
would be much Inferior to that grown
In the northern sections and in the
mountains, where the danger of damage
by front Is greater.
rROTECTIOX AOAIW8T FBOST
Attempts have been made to protect
crons from damage by frost since the
earliest historical times.' Many different
methods are now In use. Vegetables
snd other low growing plants are cov
ered with strips of cloth or paper; small
potato plants are covered with earth by
plowing a furrow between the rows;
cranberry bogs are flootled with water
from nearby reservoirs.
One of the oldest methods of protec
tion and probably the one most widely
used In the past. Is the so-called
"smudge." Small fires of wood, hay or
manure were built to the windward of
the field to be protected, and damp hay
or crass was added to create a dense
smoke over the field. Later, opinion
became divided as o whether the smoke
or the heat from the fires afforded the
I most orotection.
The weather bureau has Investigated
this matter thoroughly and has settled
?the controversy In favor of the heating
end against the smudging. It was
found that a smoke, cover alone has
very little Influence on the fall In tem
perature. On the other hand. If suffi
, dent heat Is added to the surface air by
stehtlng a large number of small fires
throughout the area to be protected, the
temperature can be raised from two to
eight degrees.
FROST WABNITV99
General warnings of expected frosts
sre Included In the regular dally fore
casts issued by the weather bureau,
which have a wide distribution. In
some of the most Important fruit dis
tricts, where frost protection is general
throughout the community, forecasts of
the lowest temperature to be expected
carh night are issued during the danger
season. The accuracy of these forecasts
has been steadily Improved from year
to year, through intensive study, until
the forecast temperature Is rarely In
error more than two degrees.
This service enables- the fruit growers
to make all necessary preparations In
the evening to combat the coming frosts.
If a long continued severe temperature
' Is expected, extra supplies of fuel must
be made ready for the long fight. Men
to light the fires must be gathered from
nearby towns and held in readiness.
ALFALFA SEED WARI!fG9
Early fall frosts cause great damage
to alfalfa seed, blackening and shrivel
ing much of the crop. At the time of
year when these frosts are most likely
to occur, the crop Increases in value at
the rate of about $5 an acre during each

the harvest as long as possible. On the
receipt of a warning of Impending
frost, the growers cut as much of the
alfalfa as possible before the arrival
of the frost. When the alfalfa has been
cut and is lying on the ground, only a

protected by the overlying plants.
The following report on this special

MAYOR RESENTS
RUMOR OF LAXITY.
IN DANCE HALLS
, esasBMBMSBBHHSBnsMBnBBssa ' ,
Mrs. Grace Nickerson Asked to
Prove Report That Proprietors
of Halls Are Given Protection.
Who are the dancing masters of
the city who cannot be arrested for
allowing improper . dancing in their
halls t ' "
Who, told dance hall inspectors that
conditions here were worse than' any
where along the coast?
If police officers saw Improper danc
ing going! on, why didn't they enforce
the ordinance and arrest the offenders?
These and a lot of other questions
will be asked at a meeting that has
been called by Mayor Baker for Mon
day to investigate the statements made
last week by Mrs. Grace B. Nickerson,
dance hall Inspector of the police bu
reau, to the effect that dance hall re
strictions had been largely lifted and
that proprietors of the halls had de
fied her because of their influence with
people higher in authority.
It was this last statement hat par
ticularly grated on Mayor Baker, who
was very angry over the whole matter
Saturday. At the meeting Monday
there will be in attendance Chief of
Police Jenkins, Mrs. Frankel, head of
the women's protective division, under
whom Mrs. Nickerson works, and any
one else concerned or interested, the
mayor declares.
"Why in the name of common sense
don't the police arrest these dance hall
men if they are not obeying the ordi
nances?" asked the mayor. "They've
had no orders from me to suspend the
ordinance or to refrain from arresting
anyone. Neither the chief of police nor
Mrs. Frankel has given orders to. not
arrest them. There is plenty of law on
the subject. If the police think anyone
is being protected by ,hiKher-ups' it is
their duty to arrest them and find out."
The mayor characterized as "bunk"
the statement that dance hall condi
tions here are worse than anywhere
else along the coast Such a condition
had never been brought to his knowl
edge, he declared. The mayor said he
had been around himself to visit the
dance halls from time to time and he
had seen little to criticise.

With these words Mrs. Fon telle Scace
