FROST AND'DROUGHT (Written Speclaily for The Bulletin.) There lies before me a picture made in a California fruit orchard, last fall, when the threat of a disastrous frost Bad called out the ofl pots and they Were in full flame through a big or- chard. Somewhere else, among other clip- pings, 1 have a photograph of an ir- Tigation operation as it s actuaily @one in a Colorado orchard. 1 wish 1 could reproduce them here, for no Possible amount of explanation or description can give any one so good an idea of the two things as these’il- Juminative pictures, taken on the spot. But, as that is impossible, let me sea # 1 can get the real point of each be- fore such as may not have had the opportunity to see either picture or reality. To begin with, take the frost-fight- ing fire-pots. The picture shows them ecattered about the orchard as far as the limits disclose at an apparent dis tance of some twenty or twenty-five feet apart. 1 have seen it stated that “ordinarily” about a hundred pots to the acre are sufficient, though more are demanded In many cases. That would give 435 square Teet to each fire-pot, or a space about twenty by twenty-two feet. These fire-pots are not as expensive as parlor-stoves, but they cost quite a little, —by the hun- dred quite a good deal, They afe made out of sheet-iron, mostly, in geveral different pasterns, but all con- trived for the burning of crude oil. Those shown in the picture before me are, comparing them with the human figures pictured near them, about twenty inches long by eight or ten wide and six deep, with sliding covers and proper draft-holes. they apparently give a sbout half their tops, being checked by the sliding cover. This flame, say eight by ten inches where it issues from the pot, seems to flame from Broaden out above to about twice that ; size and rise to an average height of | a foot and a half. You will infer, I fancy, that an oil flame of that size must use up quite a it of oll And there are at least a hundred of fhem going to every orchard acre— pernaps more. You will also infer. T surmise, that it | would take more than one man and a boy to tend, watch, and keep filled a ! fire-pots blazing their hot- test all night. The Connecticut farmer with a smah orchard of ten acres, who should undertake to imitate the western methods, would require at the outset at least 1,200 fire-pots. A thousand might do “ordinarily”, but he must be for emergencies, also. No, couldn't make them himself stormy ‘winter days out of waste iron around the farm. He might make a couple, Perhaps he tnight ake-shifts. But, when it 1,200, he'd simplyihave to buy them, Then he'd have to get the oil. There aren't any ofl wells handy to maiy Connecticut” orch#rds. He'd have to import it from Texas ly, and the freight alone would a good deal more than the stuff costs at the wells or anywhere within a hundred miles of them. each night he fired up. rthermore, it would take to get a thousand clumsy. awkward, dirty fire-pots taken out of and distributed abeut the or- . Take another barn or two to store them in, also, wouldn’t it? It would require more hauling to get that twenty barrels of oil out and put in:o the thousand fire-pots. Furthermore, the orchardist wouldn't have a cou-s e of weeks to do it. An approach- frost might give six hours notice, mot much more. Assuming the po‘s all hauled and placed how many men and teams would it take to distribute twenty barrels of oil to them, a gallon 1o each, in six hours? And how many men to tend them during the night and see that the steady flame was kept up? They must be somehow, out west. of me, I can’t imagine where a Con- necticut farmer would go to find men enough to fire-up for one ten acre or- chard,—men safe to trust with match- e8 and crude ofl at night in a winfy orchard hiliside.

When it comes to_irrigation, the Col- orada_photograph shows an of of young trees, each set in a_ saucer-| like depression extending out from the trunk at least as far as the branches bang over, and capable of holding a good many barrels of water. Each saucer is shown filled and being kept full from a central ditch running down between the rows and fed from the main_ head ditch at the upper side of the field. In other words, every single little tree is given, every so often, a Soak- ing with barrels and barrels and hogs- heads and hogsheads of water, a { whole trout-brook being turned ‘fmo the depression about each one till it 1s filled and sufficient run being then | continued to keep it full for twelye or wenty-four hours, while the balance | of the brook goes on to soak another | {and another, and so on till its entire volume.is absorbed. People in the east who think of if- rigation as a matter of lawn-sprink- lers and inch hose and watering-pots | dor't even know what real irrigation means. The little spattering they do bears about as close a relation to prac- | | tical irrigation as a shower-bath does to Niagara Falls. One dry summer not long ago, T had a patch of cel which was in sore need of water. It happened to lie near the house and within sight of the kit- chen pump. Also, I happened to have a few lengths of pipe, lying around. So I got out the pipe, rigged it on to the pump nozzle, carried it out through | the window and to the celery patch.| here 1 led it into an old shoe-pack ing-case, to prevent the jet from bor- ¢ a hole into the soil and also to aid in distributing the water over an area at lea tom. T had already measured the out-' flow of my pump—so many full strokes to the gallon, you know,—and |1 proceeded to pump five barrels of water into that shoe box lving mud- way between two rows of celery. I wiped the sweat off and went out to see how much of a pond I had started. When 1 reached the box the water had all drained out of it, and there wasn't a sign of wetness in the dirt outside. Lifting it, I found that the ground under it was molst, not really wet; not anything that could be | called muddy, just moist. I placed the box at right angles and set it across instead of lengthwise of the rows, touching the former moist spot so as | Thi i {to make a sort of letter T. Then I | went back and pumped five barress| more into it. Same - result. Ground underneath moistened but not water enough to satisfy the little area and leave any to seep outside. A little figuring of the relation ‘which my shoe-box watered area bore to the whole celery patch showed me that one man with a pump and an inch pipe couldn’t cover the whole patch In | Jess than a week of steady pumping. So I stopped, then and there, and de- termined to watch and see what effect | ten barrels of water had on the cel- ery rows where they were applied. Neither the next day nor the mext| week, not at any time till the emd of | the season was there the slightest dif- ference between the celery where I had put on ten barrels of water and that which hadn’'t had a drop. The entire patch was a failure, and the watered fraction as worthless as the rest. The soil is a sandy loam, and I suspect | that the water I pumped on simply | went straight down to the water-tal.e| which, the drought being a severe and fong-continued one, might have been ten or twelve feet below the surfa‘e.! It was evident that the only effective | form of irrigation for that celery would | have been to have had the rows in| furrows instead of ridges, and to have turned a brook into each furrow and kept it soaking full for twenty-four hours every week or so. I don't happen to have a brook which I can u: that way. Yet, every year when we have a drought, T am kindly advised by gen- tlemen who know nothing more of fir- rigation than the fairy storles they have read in the magazines, to pipe some water off the hills and irrigate ! my gardens. Why, Great Caesar, in| siuch a drought as we had last summer, there isn't water enough In all the | brooks within a mile of me on every side, to have really irrigated my corn and’ cabbages, alone, if I could have had the whole of it every day and all 5! Every yvear when a late spring or early fall frost comes along, these | same wiseacres wonder why I don’t get some fire-pots and fight off frosts, “as they do out west." - They might just as sensibly ask me why T don't dig dlamonds instead of tubers out of my potato patch; or why Im not eleven feet tall!
