Smudge pots replace sun in California orchards
Smudge pots were lit in northern California fruit orchards to combat a cold wave that jeopardizes apricot, almond, peach, and early plum crops in the Sacramento Valley. Sacramento County agricultural commissioner A. E. Morrison warned that damage could wipe out these crops, with some harm to pear and asparagus in the lower valley. Southern California citrus groves escaped harm as temperatures fell to the low 30s, and pots remained ready if needed.
