ON SUNB-AY next the Mail Tribune will publish a
complete Account of tho battle with i'rost waged by
the orchardists of the Rogue River A'alley this spring, to
gether with ail estimate Of the damage done and the crop
saved.
The article will be from the pen of Processor P. J.
O'GaVa of the department of agriculture, who has been'
loaned to Jackson coimtv bv Uncle Saili and who i'or the
. . v , , i i i
past three years lias Had eJiarge oL rue orenaru neating
(xneriinnirt as well as .the ficrht with orchard Dests.
The article will be illustrated with photos taken dur
ing the past few weeks ahd it will be by Jar the most val
uable and complete account of orchard heating yet written.
This spring has witnessed the severest fight with frost
on record in this valley. For two weeks fires wcrj iiigljtly
kindled. The orcll'ardigtS valiantly contended against a
temperature as low as 20 degrees in places and kept the
tnermonierers in uicir orcnarus aoove me danger maiK.
The story of illis prolonged struggle is intensely in
1 cresting. No friiitgrower caii afford to miss it, with the
lessons learned thereby. Place your order i'or extra copies
now, otherwise there may not be enough to supply the demand.
