THE PROTECTION OF ORCHARD BY SMUDGING By P. J. O'Gara, Scientific Assistant, Fruit-Disease Investlnatlons, Bureau of Plant Industry. Qttntitlty of Mntcrlnl to bo Used For Knelt Fire. Kxperlenco linn shown that the fires should not bo lnrno, slnco largo fires tend to produce convoctlvo cur rents that Are nnt to bring In cold air; hence, the quantity for each heap seed not bo vory lnrgo. Largo flros also might scorch tho bloosom. From four to flvo pieces of cord wood, or Its equivalent In any kind of wood or old rails, nro sufficient for a single fire; vory often when tho low tcmplturo is of chort duration nil of this material will not bo con sumed In a slnglo flrelng. Flguro 9 Bhows tho pllcsd of glr cordwoo with dry primings used in firing an orchard of Mr. V. II. Brown. In case stablo manure or rubbish was used a larger numebr of heaps wero placed, and tho quantity of material to each heap avoraged about a bushel or a bushel and a half. The cost of material for firing var ied greatly, depending on how it was obtained. In somo cases where good twenty-four averago would bo about $1 ,Of course this Item of oxpenso varied with tho typo of material used m voll as with tho distance It had to bo hauled. Necessity of Understanding Weather Conditions. Iloforo efficient work can bo dono In frost prevention a thorough un derstanding of local weathor condl tlonso must bo had. In other words tho grower should know whou to smudge or flro In tho archards. Nn less ho knows beforehand that freez ing temporaturo may bo expected, tho opportunity for firing at tho right tlmo may bo lost. Again unless ho Is reasonably certaiu low tempora turo will occui during tho night, ho may wasto a considerable amount of costly material when thcro aro uo uso for It. In order to tarry on tho work of frost prevention succes 'fully, dally weathor report;, or the weather map should be available. In many locali ties the weather map would bo out of tho question, since It may bo at least hours old, rr.d of vory cordwcod was used, tho cert of firing yrna given at S2 per acre. Mr. W. H. Brown who used good fir cordwooJ, ctatcs that when using from five to seven sticks in a pllo every second row one way or every fourth row the other tho cost per acre for three hours' firing approxi mated 60 cents. However, it may bo tatcd that the cost per aero for one sight was between S2 and $2.50. In some case3 tho cost was estimated as high as $4, but It is quite possible thaat more cu.terial was used than accessary, and that a higher price than usual was paid for It. When etable manure or" rubbish alono was Bsod tho cost of flrlns per aero was from 4 to 10 cents. This was be cause the material was on hand and tho only element of expense was for distributing It. The cost of labor for ftirlng an acre also varied, but a good general little value vhen tt is recolvod. Especially on the Pacific coast thcro Is very little calned by using tho map that is so old. In caso tho map can not bo used, tolegnphlc reports should be received every ny. During the time tho writer was at work on frost prevention in tho Roguo Kiver valley, weather maps wero received from the "Weather Bureau s.at!on at Sacramento, Cal., through tho kind ness of Mr. N". R. Taylor, observer. Mr. Taylor alsc gave valuablo advice in regard to conditions on tho Pacific coast, especially in tho small inclosed valloys that are surrounded by high mountains. Tho Weather Bureau off ice at Portland, Oregon, kindly fur nished telegraphic reports to the Med ford Commercial club nnj weather signals were hoisted. Tho assistance from both thu Weathor offices was of the greatest Importance In carry ing out the work successfully.
