A FREEZE which visited the state during the 

 early part of April it is believed will involve 

 a 50 per cent loss to capri or early figs. That 

 {his loss will curtail the production of Calimyrna 

 5gS also is certain, according to J. F. Niswander,

How to Use the Kimball to Keep 

 Your Orchard in Perfect Condition 



The first thing in the spring, as soon as the ground 

 is dry enough it should be well plowed or disced both 

 ways, or diagonal if the trees are planted in that man-

The rest of the season nothing is needed but the 

 KIMBALL, which should be run over the ground at 

 least twice each month during the summer, or as 

 soon as the ground is dry enough after a hard rain or
