Kansan Warms His Orchard with Iron Staves
Sam Young of Atchison Kansas owns a sixty acre orchard and will install 500 sheet iron staves next spring to protect his trees from frost. He has twice used smudge fires to save crops and believes stoves will work better. Each stove costs about 40 cents to make plus labor for five men. Orchard men nearby are adopting the frost protection method led by Young. Ben Stuart reports $5 000 in apple sales in 1910 and says frost protection has saved crops, though Young is first to deploy stoves on a large scale.
