FRUIT Men DISCUSS
ORCHARD HEATERS
Michigan Men See In Them
Antitrust Value.

Grand Rapids, Mich, June II
Michigan fruit growers are consid-
ering taking out a little crop insur-
anCe against frost in the form Of
orchard heater and smudge equip
mont. This action is the direct re-
suit Of the losses sustained in May
by late frosts Growers believe
they could have saved their entire
crops had they had proper equip
ment BontireS were used IN some
sections with considerable success.
Purchase Of orchard heaters in
the past has been made in widely
separated districts but owing to the
lntrequency Of late fr0sts in Mich
igan, growers have been hesitant on
purchasing this equipment. Late
freezes have never occurred often
er than every four or five years
and sometimes not that often How
ever. growers whose crops were
saved by heaters or fires this year
will realize a big return on the in
Eestment.
