MOTORCYCLE NOTES I The motorcycle has proven a great boon to California fruit growers during the past winter. On account of the unusually cold weather, the growers were in constant fear of losing their crops by frost, and many of them were unable to get any sleep night after night Finally a number of the growers banded together and employed a motorcyclist to patrol their farms at night, and keep close watch on the thermometers which were placed at frequent intervals over the district, Whenever the motorcyclists found the temperature nearing the danger mark, he raced to the homes of the owners and gave them warning in time to get their smudge-pots before any damage was done. It costs Charles Figer of Milwaukee Wis., less to ride his motorcycle during 1912 than his street car fare would have amounted to in riding to and from work each day.
