TO BE BIGGER THAN Prof. O'Gara Summarizes Frost Dam age In Rogue River Valley -Heated Orchards Untouched as Are Those of the Foothills. Groves on Floor of Valley That Were Not Heated Arc More or Less Damaged, But Few in Number. (By Prof. V. J. O'Gara, County Pathologist.) The fruit crop will be larger this year than last. Tho first estimates of frost damage wero much over drawn as is usually the case. Or chards thnt heated, as most of the large producers did, were untouched, as were those of the foothills. Although it is a little early to de termine the full amount of injury roused by the last frost, it is never theless certain that many of the val ley floor orchards where heating- was not practiced are more or less in jured. The foothills seem to be un injured, as nro the heated orchards on the vnllcy floor. In n few in stances orchardists failed to light up in time, nml some Injury, resulted, although the protection 'was ample. It is Interesting- to nolo the excel lent results obtained in orchards where heating was properly done. In this connection may be mentioned the A C. Allen, P. II. Hopkins, Bear Bear Creek, Hollowajv Bingham, Car penter, Patter & Gould, Klamath and many others in the adjacent districts. In some of Uiesc orchards not a sin (Mt wjuKBtL- fruit . wiLUuf !. while orchards Just aerem the way lost heavily. To thoso who do not believe in frost- prevention,-1 -may say that there aro several good con trnsts which may bo seen and might prove n good object lesson. Tho fact that frost occurred. la nothing- against tho district. There is no such plnce as a frdstless fmit belt, ns may ho learned by nothifj what has occurred in districts a thousand miles south of us. Sinc this is true, the ouly thine to do is to prepare. Only n short time ugu hentiug was colled n fad, but it is now known that it is a fnd that pa.,". Spraying used to be a fad, but is now considered n necessity. The fellow who knows nil nbout the weather and nUvises growers "thnt there will be no frosts this year, and that there will bo no need of buying oil and heaters," is n real menace to tho community. Every dollar lost to tho individual is a dollar lost to tho community. I hopo that another year will find everyone prepared and if frosts do not come, so much the bet ter.
