TAKING READINGS
OF
J. f'ttcil Alter, obxrrvrr He-lglH'd
to this valler by the I' M. weather
bureau, Is luroatlgatliig the claims
of vagaries (u tompdrnlurQ In va
rious loeal orchard district. He do
sires to caution fruit "growers and
those reporting totnperaturos on two
common causes of orror, as follews:
. "A thorniomctor cxponcd without
a shelter Indicate values too high in
tho sunshine, and too low nt night,
especially Is this truo on nights when
dew or frost Is 'formed on the ther
mometer. In these cases, It is stat
ed, tlio toiuperaturo Indicated may
bo anywboro from 2. to 10 degrees too
low. Tho thorniomctor must bo kept
dry.
"A small woodon shelter painted
wblto with louvrcd or slatted Hides
Mho n window shutter Is rccom
iifonded. .It should hayo a bottom
and a double top with nn air spaco
botweon the two roofs. It should bo
about two feet squaro nnd two feet
high, though for a single Instru
ment It may be smaller. It should
stand about four or five feet from
the ground. '
"Such n nholtcr prevents the nc-
cumulation of moisture on tho ther
mometer under ordinary conditions,
and allows freo air circulation yet
tho Instrument Is always In tho
shade. Any workman can construct
such a shelter In an hour or so from
50 cents' worth of material?
"Another tciihou why the climate
of tho valley has been libelled Is that
thermometers have not always been
carefully rond. It Is very difficult,
If not impossible, to obtain correct
readings at night from tho light of a
match, a candlo or a lantern, as such
practices aro almost sure to heat tbo
thermometer.
"A small flash lamp Is tho best
light. The thermometer should not
bo touched whllo reading It, for even
tho prcscuco of one's body will causo
tho thermometer to read higher, Tho
observer who makes a practice of us
ing a warm light to make a leisurely
roadlng of tho thermometer which
ho holds near his face In his warm
hand Is apt to get tho Impression
that It Is his orchard and not tho
thermometer that l frost-frco."
