MODERN FROST FIGHTING PLANT IS CONSTRUCTED ON THE POTTER PALMER ORCHARD

Kclciitirio Methods.
A few yours ago Professor P. J.
O'Gurn wiih retained hy tho progrcs
niva up-to-diito orchurdists of Jack
son county as consulting pathologist
mid clomologlst, By his advice
many important changes have been
imido until today Jackson county
boasts of the most modern horlicul
lural nudhods, Not tho least iin
piulmil of tho many things accom
plished by Professor O'Garti has
been thn introduction of scientific
ethoilrt for tho protection of or
chimin fioni frout injury, This nr
tide does not intend to cover the
inniiy unisons advanced by Profes
sor b'Gum for advocating tho use of
smiulgo pots with oil for fuel
against the primitive methods )u
'oguo u few years ago. Enough In
May that thu prominent orchard men
of Ilia vnlloy are falling in line, with
(ho result Hint many innovations
have been made during the last year.
IMobahly the must htaitliug of these
has hecu the erection of a plant ut
the Pat mor oichnrd two miles south
of Medford adjoining tho famous
Hear Creek Orchard, for the special
purposo of combatting frost injiuy
during the dnugorous period ench
spring, Realizing Ihu need for mod
ern 1'iosl fighting equipment, 'Mr.
Ifonoro Palmer of Chicago, through
Mr, W. A. Sumner, superintendent of
the Pnliuer estates in Oregon, di
rected F. W. Dodge, engineer, Gold
Hill, Oregon, to prepare pluns nnd
superintend tho erection of a plant
especially designed to give- speedy
distribution of oil to nil parts of
the orchard.

openings for charging purposes
large enough to admit a, man to the
interior and tho oil is discharged
through a four-inch pipe lino in
three directions, thus saving hauling
oil uphill whon distributing to pots
The dischnrgo lino carry the
oil to four stnudpipes, situated at
various strntegio points in the or
chard which means tho minimum of
labor in conjunction with speedy
service Owing to tho nature of
tho ground nnd tho size of tho or
chard the idea has been to eliminate
useless labor, long hinds and to in
sure speedy and effioiont servico of
oil to any part of the orchard,
Water Heservolr.
Abovo tho oil tank propor is
placed a water reservoir with a ca
pacity of ten thousand gallons.
Tho wator will ho used for irrigating
a small portion of tho orchard ami
for spray purposes. Situated 1000
feet away from this combination oil
Morago tank nnd reservoir is a well
from which water is pumped to ro
sorvoir by a thrco horso power gas
oline engine. Tho outside dimen
sions of oil tank are 37x28x7 and
water reservoir 28x28x30.
Distribution In Orcliard.
Carrying out the ideas of speedy
distribution Mr. Pnlraor has furnish
ed four oval tanks with u enpneity
of twelvo barrels each. Theso tanks
nre placed on what is known as half
trucks and hauled through tho or
chard. Throe rows of smudgo pots
nro handled nt tho same tiiuo as the
oil tanks aro equipped with an up-to-date
distributing apparatus per
mitting of thrco pots boing filled
simultaneously. It will readily be
seen that tho entiro hundred acres
can b ebandled with onso by this
method. It will tnko 11,000 pots for
smudging purposes or 110 pots to
tho acre.
Ilest Strtnjtiiru of Its Kiml,
Profesor .P. J, O'Gnra on beliiR
interviewed by tho writer, declared
"tho tank embodies the best insur
ance against frost. Undoubtedly the
bost structure of its kind in the
world. Tho best labor saving do
