heating pots we're burned about three
hours. That the temperature was ma
terially raised in the heated area was
shown by the fact that outside the
heated area the ground and the trees
were thoroughly covered with snow,
while inside the heated area. except
where the snow blew in on the north
side, the ground was bare, as were
the trees also
In this test the heaters were lighted
at 2:30 4. m. At this time the tenn
perature had dropped to 20 degrees.
The temperature of the outside un-
heated area kept falling until 1t
reached 26 degrees at six O'Clock,
when it rose rapidly But in the heat
ed area by three O'Clock. or in half
hour, the temperature had been raised
above the freezing mark, and by six
o'clock the temperature of the heated
trees was above "a degrees
1t is roughly estimated that after
the first years cost Of installation the
cost OF protecting home orchard will
amount to between 81 and 81 per acre

priced, this expense will not be pro-
hibitive. and under ordinary condi-
tions the fruit can be saved on small
areas

Late spring frosts cause immense
losses OF fruit in Iowa and help to
discourage growers until many of
them neglect. destroy or dispose Of
their orchards.
For this reason the Iowa agricul
tural experiment station has sought to
determine the value and efficiency Of
some of the orchard heating devices
now on the market. During the sea-
son Of 1911. tests were conducted in
three different orchards and in add
ton several individual growers. in
various sections Of the state tried out
heating as q means of frost protec-
ton.
These first tests demonstrated these
facts:
That the temperature in an orchard
can be raised several degrees in time
OF frost.
That orchard heating as method
OF insurance against frost is practical
bic under Iowa conditions during most
seasons
The most important of these tests
was carried on at the stations or
chard At Council Bluffs, comprising a
2S-acre tract. The other two tests
were conducted on home orchards,
one near the Council Bluffs orchard,
the other at Ames.

ADDRESSED STUDENTS.
II. D. Martin of State Trade School Explains Scope of That Institution

H. D. Martin of the state trade school to be opened at Putnam talked to the students of Killingly High school at a special assembly Monday morning and explained the advantages that the new state institution is going to open to those who decide to take up it's courses and pursue them with the definite idea of preparing for a life of endeavor in the textile field, one of the greatest in New England, the speaker pointed out. MT. Martin did not ad- wise the students to give up their high school courses to go to the trade school but to come there after they have completed their work in the local school. MT Martins talk proved of surprising interest, especially to many of the boy students. It was apparent that many of them had never before stopped to consider what very liberal salaries are in the reach of the young men who are thoroughly prepared to go into a mill and climb up the ladder of success to fine positions as superin- tendents and agents. MT. Martins vis- itation to panielson also included calls and talks at the East Side school, Brooklyn, and in the villages of Kill lingly.

DELiRERo's CAPTURE. Stabber Wanted in WiIlimantic Clev- erly Identified by Capt. Murray.

A cutting affray in Putnam late Saturday night, which did not result seriously, led to the arrest. of Joseph Delibero, wanted in Willimantic on a charge Of assault with intent to murder. The affair in Putnam was between two Italians. They had been around to the saloons drinking and when they were on the way home near the May street crossing one of them drew a knife and slashed the other S coat, the knife point just grazing the skin of his left breast. While look ing into the affair Sunday Captain Murray saw an Italian who answered the description sent out by the Will limantic police. This Italian had pre- viously sought a dynamiter's license and his face was familiar to the Cap- tain. He was drawn into conversa- tion and told how he had been en- pleyed by the state police, could talk four languages and had caused the ar rest of a murderer. The circular of description of the man wanted set forth that the man wanted would make just such claims
