Now that the fruit crop has been
gathered and the weather is still fine, is
a good time for orchardists to ponder

All of them are in reach. With this
fuel stored on the ground, more time
can be taken, if wanted, to think over
the methods of heating and the imple-
ments to be used. The fuel for use
and on hand, is the first important
step.
