La Verne Magazine
Vol. 26, No. 2
Summer 2002
Cold nights spent in orange groves as an adolescent
come back to Galen Beery as he stands with lighter in hand next to a smudge
pot. Thick black smoke, created by the burning oil in the bases of these
smudge pots, filled the orchards and the sky over La Verne. Although the
smoke would leave a cover in the morning resembling black fog, the heat
emitted from the smudge pots kept the oranges from freezing. Beery, now
the independent historian of La Verne, keeps remnants of this bygone farming
technique alive at La Verne's Heritage Park.
