THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1911. PROTECT FRUIT TREES FROM FROST This Can Be Done by Proper Equipment of Fire Pots So the Atmosphere of the Orchard May Be Warmed and King Frost Driven Out It often happens that a backward crop or one that is too far advanced by early spring is injured by frost. Down in Florida, the costly experience of the or ange growers, a few years ago, in the loss of their groves by an untimely frost, led to the equipment, not only of the orange groves of th* south, but the -1 Oil heater. Ooal h*at*r. fruit crops in all parts of the country, of frost-fighting apparatus, with which to warm the atmosphere. Os our 1,400 bearing apple trees, about *OO were in the block that we protected and saved with a few over 1,000 small size crude oil burning orchard heaters last spring, when many of the orchards in the middle west were stripped bare of their fruit. Protecting an orchard from frosts on a stil 1 night, even with a very low tem perature is comparatively easy compar ed to protecting it during several days of freezing weather, sleet, and hall, ana with a high gale blowing, as was the case last spring. One orchard of seven acres, that had never failed before, looked as if a severe fire had gone through the trees, and was almost a total loss. On th orchard that was proteced We had a full crop. Os this orchard there were threeor four rows on the north and west sides that had few apples. Had we placed a row of oil pots around the outside of the orchafd, we think we would have saved those trees also. Last season being a month earlier than usual, made us hurry our preparations, for we were pretty sure we would need the protection. Usually it is during the first part of May that the frosts kill the fruit, but last year it was in April. On the nlgM of Saturday, April 16, at 9 p. m. the thermometer was 34 degree*. By 1* p. m. it was 27 degrees; at 8 a. m. 23 degree*; at 4 a. m. close to 23 degrees, the lowest we noticed, although we had very Httle time to watch the temperas ture. At 4a. m., inside the orchard it was 33 degrees at several points and 82 degrees at others. The temperature did not raise to 83 degrees outside the or chard until nearly noon the next day. All night the wind was blowing a regu lar gale, accompanied by sleet and snow. The wind was blowing so hard that it was difficult to pour the oil from the buckets into the pots. The value of the pots that night was in the continuous stream of hot smoke blowing through RESULTS WITH FERTILIZERS The other day I overheard two farm er* talking of their experience with the use of commercial fertilizer on corn. Both had used the fertilizer on corn. On« had drilled ft in with his seed with a corn drill. He had left a few rows without fertilizing and he said that he could not see any difference between this and where be bad applied, the fer tilizer. > \ He did not say whether there was much or any vegetable matter in the soil, but I took It that the soil was lacking in vegetable matter as he had not turned any crop* of clover or any thing else under. The other farmer had turned one or two crops of clov*r under. He said that his fertilizer helped him to grow clover and that he had grown red clover so high that he could stick the heads In his pockets without pulling them off. He had applied fertiliser to his corn and be left sure that he got $5 worth of grain for every dollar spent for fer tiliser. Both had bought their fertilizer from the same man. One was satisfied with his fertilizer, the other was not and I leave the reader to judge who was at fault. Whether the agent who sold the goods or the farmer who used them. These experiences bring to mind an ex perience I had with fertilizer on corn several years ago. I had a field that had not been under cultivation for a number of years. It was run down and. I did not expect a heavy crop of corn. Part of the field was plowed during the winter sea son and put to corn the next spring. I applied about 200 pounds of a rather low grade of complete fertilizer at rates of 200 pound* per acre. I grew a fairly good crop of corn. I feel sure that I got pay for my fertilizer In the crop. The next year the balance of the field was plowed in April. The soil was not so gooa as the part worked the year before but I expected some thing from the fertilizer. The result was that I did not get corn enough off this part of the field to pay my fertili zer bill, although I applied a higher the trees. On the outside rows, the pot* being under the trees, the wind coming toward the trees, the hot smoke did not go through them, but under them. It was not the effect of one pot or a dozen, but the aggregate effect of the thousand that produced the effect, and It was not necessary to examine a thermometer to determine what was happening. Several nights of freezing weather fol lowed, but they were not so severe, as the thermometer did not go below 26 de grees for a few nights, and it would warm up in the daytime. We are putting in 500 more pots to guard against trouble this spring. We have sufficient for ordinary condi tions, but not for a freeze accompanied by a high wind. Quite a number of apples, peaches, pears and cherries were saved in one of our orchards across the road from the protected area, the wind carrying the heat to this point and also to a neigh bor’s small orchard. An orchard in the opposite direction was stripped practi cally bare. We found the use of oil pots much more effective than the btiru ing of manure or brush, because we were able to continue the heating over a great er time. In all we burned the oil pots nine nights, the time ranging from 20 hour* at one time to about five hours. At the last It would drop to freezing about 4 o’clock in the morning, and frost. We would light about one-third of the pots, which would burn until past danger time. The fruit growing fraternity are Invited to inspect the result for themselves. The only advice we can give la to get ready in Orchard Equipped With Oil Heater*. the right way and get ready now. The results were uniform, whether the tree* were In bloom or the little supples <er* formed. What we accomplished spy one can do. It is true that conditions were almost un precedented, and without question a larg er number of fire pots would have been of decided advantage, especially during the storm of snow, sleet, and high wind; but we shall profit by this experience and be prepared for the very worst an other year. The fruit crop was practically a total loss in other orchards in this section. Much of the fruit that looked as if it would mature in other orchards dropped off, and only an occasional apple was found. Many of our trees were so full they had to be thinned. grade of fertilizer than I had the year before and more per acre. The fault was not In the fertilizer but in the soil and manner of preparing it I think. The soil was rather more sandy in the second plot. The vegetable mat ter did not have time to decay as it was not plowed until late. Another time I applied fertilizer to the corn in the hill and a row or two of It was left without any fertilizer. Where there was fertilizer applied there was a fair crop of corn and where there Was no fertilizer there was no corn. • The fertilization of the crop is only one of several important considerations in growing a crop seed, preparation of tho son and cultivation are equally im portant.—E.

SHEEHAN DENIES ALL REPORTS OF WITHDRAWAL NEW YORK, Feb 18.—Three reports that William F. Sheehan had been in formed he must withdraw his candidacy for the United States senate lent sup port to each other today by Mr. Shee han himself denied all of them tonight. The first report had it that Charles F. Murphy, tired of a hopeless fight, had given ten days to the man he ha* supported for seven weeks, in which Lo win or quit. ’ “That report Is absolutely untru*,’’ said Mr. Sheehan tonight. “Mr. Murphy has told tne nothing of the sort and, so far as I know, he is supporting roe with out reservations.” The other two reports—one from Al bany and one from the governor’s apart ments in the Waldorf—ran that the gov ernor had intimated to Mr. Sheehan his belief that the deadlock must continue while Mr. Sheehan remained a candi date. “No such intimation has been conveyed to me, either directly or indirectly,” an swered Mr. Sheehan to this report. Governor Dlx tonight would not see newspaper men, but sent them word that his position with regard to coercion of the legislature had not altered 1, but neither had his efforts to find some prac ticable way out of the blind alley in which the party now finds itself. Ever since January 18, when the gov ernor first became convinced that the deadlock could not be broken if the lines first drawn were held, he has been striv ing to find a candidate acceptable to both factions. In that respect the situ ation today differed no whit from that of a month ago. Charles F. Murphy had not a word to say to any of the three rumors tonight. HOODLUMS FATALLY HURT MAN WITH SNOWBALLS NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—A. H. Kohn felder, an employe of the business office of the Hoboken, N.

L CAIUM ANNEXATION BILL HAS BEEN KILLED WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—T0 offset the Canadian annexation talk which the ad ministration fears might affect the reci procity agreement, the house committee on foreign affairs today, by a vote of 9 to 1, reported adversely on the resolution introduced by Representative Bennett, of New York, for the opening of negotia tions with Great Britain, looking to the annexation of Canada. Mr. Bennett was the only member who voted for the resolution. The committee’s action followed confer ences of Chairman Foster, of th* com mittee, and Acting Chairman McCall, of the ways and mean* committee, with President Taft today. One of the Ben nett resolutions asked the president to report to the house all the facts con cerning any negotiations pending with the Canadian or British government and also whether any negotiations are now pending looking to Canadian annexation. The other resolution, a concurrent one, requested the president to “enter upon and to prosecute from time to time such negotiations with the British government he may deem expedient for the annexa tion of Canada to the United State*.” Canada Annexation Bill Aimed at Reciprocity LONDON, Feb. 17.-Whether, as is sus pected in some quarters, Congressman Bennett, of New York, had no more sin ister motive than to embarrass the rec iprocity forces In his own country, there is no room for doubt that his Canadian annexation resolution Introduced in the house of representatives yesterday has greatly uisturbed certain minds on this side of the Atlantic. Bo serious is the resolution taken by the imperial preference party that it will be made a subject of interpellation of the government in the house of com mons on February 21. Premier Asquith will be asked at that time If be intends to send any communication on the sub ject to the United States government. The flurry caused by Representative Champ Clark’s declaration that he hoped to see the day when the American flag would float over British North American possessions had scarcely passed when the cables brought Mr. Bennett's resolution asking the president to enter upon such negotiations with the British government that he might deem expedient for the annexation of the Dominion of Canada to the United State*. At once the dying agitation in opposition to the United States-Canadian reciprocity was re vived. WILLIAMS ENDS LIFE IN HOTEL IN MACON MACON, Ga., Feb. 20.—John a young white man, hardly 80 years of age, went to the Exchange hotel about 9 o’clock and three-quarters of an hour later shot himself In the head with a revolver.

Dr. Petacci permitted his holiness to rise from his bed this afternoon, but soon afterward advis ed him to return to It In order to avoid fatigue and die possibility of taking more cold, which might result In a relapse. PANIC IN HOTEL CAUSED BY BANDITS HOLD UP NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—With the aid of ocmpanlons in a waiting automobile, a •masked bandit early today attempted to hold up the clerk of the hotel Freder ick.
