The coal heaters cost about $1,000

may be dumped on the ground there
is no expense for storage. In fact the
coal may be distributed in piles
throughout the orchard and the heat

equipment than ordinary baskets and
shovels
There had better be an oversupply

cause if one heating is omitted at a
crucial time the whole expense goes

1t may seem like heavy expense
10 put in equipment for heating the
orchard, but this expense is really n
premium on insuring the crop. There
ere plenty of instances where the in
vestment of few hundred dollars and
active work at critical times resulted
in the saving of crop worth several
thousand dollars Many orchards
would be unproductive without or
chard heating. Over large areas GOV.
ering one or more states there is an av'
erage of one peach crop in three years
without orchard heating; with orchard
heating there would be from two Of
three crops in three years.
1t must be understood that orchard
heating applies not TO protecting the
orchard in winter, but TO the protection
of the blossoms and very young fruits
from late frosts in the spring.
