SIEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1933. PA 01? THREE SAVE SMUDGE OIL FOR LATER FROST IF SUPPLY SHORT Federal Expert Floyd D. Young Advises Orchard ists to Concentrate Ef fort During Blossom Time By FLOYD D. YOUNG. (Senior Meteorologist Frost Protec tive Service, U. S. Weather Bureau.) Wnlle there apparently will not be a. material reduction In the total pear acreage m the Rogue river val ley to be protected Irom lrost with orchard heatera thla spring, a num ber of growers are without sufficient fuel to carry on the firing more than two or three nights. In all such cases It will be advisable to allow the orchard to go without protection during any frosts which may occur prior to the time the blossom petals begin to fall, and concentrate efforts to save the crop during the period after the fruit has set. Frosts which occur before and during the blooming period may cause a great deal of damage thru marking the fruit, and some reduc tion of the size of the crop may re sult following unusually severe frosts during the blooming period, frost which occur before the setting of the fruit Beldom cause more than a slight reduction In the size of the crop harvested. Bosc buds and blos soms are unusually susceptible to frost damage, and entire crops of ,i. vritv have been wiped out by frosts during the blossoming period. The greatest danger of damage comes during and Immediately after the blossom petals begin to lau, mriiant heatlne will yield the great est returns at lowest cost if frost occur during that period. ouiy tihim.v to damaae decreases slightly as the fruit Increases In size, but a severe frost may cause serious reduc tion of the commercial crop at any time after the fruit sets. To sum up the matter: If the power Is short of fuel and must take a chance during some part of the season, he should save his ammuni tion until the petals begin to fall. h mv take a loss during the bloom ing period, but with the exception of Boso, there usually la little reduc .i in the commercial crop caused by early frosts, and damage usually Is conllned to reduction In qallty due to frost marking. Frost marked fruit la likely to be a total loss from a marketing standpoint, but as a gen eral rule frost marking affecta only a portion of the crop.

Ask FRED SALES TAX VIEW Hr. was ojjposed to a sales tax when he went to Salem, but before the ses sion ended he was convinced that there was no other solution to meet the financial situation In the state and afford relief to real property. Such was the conversion of E. A. Mc- Cornack. Originally Representative McCornack of Lane county thought that a revised income tax and some other odds and ends might be suf ficient, but as chairman of the re sponsible taxation and revenue com mittee he had to study the whole sit uation carefully and this he did -for many weeks. Toward the close of the session he realized that a sale tax was the one salvation for the overbur dened property taxpayer and so he supported It hook, line and sinker. Mr. McCornack Is now calrman of a committee of legislators who are pre paring to organize a statewide com mit :ee to lay before the people the exact financial situation of the state an.l the necessity for approving the sale tax, which Is to be voted on July 21. The work of the committee Is to be confined to an educational campaign. The same facts which led I the revenue committee to believe that a sales tax is vital will be explained to the voters.
