IN Il section Wnefe soou sfaNe OF
coal is very cheap the coal heaters
may be NOSE desirable even though
more labor u required in operating
them. In other sections the oil
heaters ar. 20 be preferred,
The oil heaters discharge erea,
quantities OF s0ot which often almost
becom. IA public nuisance and il is
suspected may in some instances col
isct in quantities ON the blossoms to
prevent successful poiiination, This
point remains To be proven but is
worth considering.
II in better To have many so,ire"s
of heat than few even though the
total amount or heat is Tue sam. Ia
both instances. Til. heaters should
be placed from 20 to g, feet apart
each way ia rows between III. trees
raihen than near TO or npi.r III"
trees. ANA ON III. windwaui sid" oi
III. orchard they should be about II"
fee, apart in a row perhaps - or
20 feet aWay from the first to~ 81,
trees and outside OF III. orchard,
This ou,sid. row thus has an extra
number of heaters because u must
protect the first row of trees and
because tn. heat from j, is so much
scattered by the Wind that fewer
h-at-fs could not give IN" necessary
protection. This hSstsrs ar. placed
