INFRA-RED:
Frost Killer

The day-or night-of the old fash
toned smudge pot as the main buff
fer between plants and killing frost
may be nearing an end.
Science has taken over to come
up with a new kind of frost killer,
development of which was sponsored
by the American Iron and Steel in
Stitute.
THE CONTRAPTION, known as
the Plymouth infra-red lamp, is in a
fair way to affect materially the
nations agricultural system, the in
stitute thinks.
Reporting on the new device, the
institute pointed out that while farm
ers will find the lamp invaluable in
saving crops during the first touches
of frost, the growing season actual
ly may be extended as techniques
for its use are developed.
DR.. Arthur w. Farrell of Mich
igan State college, one of the men
responsible for development Of the
infra-red machine, cited an exam
pie: ION September 2, 1916, to take
one example, Michigan had a two
hour killing frost. The next frost
did not occur until October l, a
month later. Had tomato and melon
growers been able to protect their
crops for about two hours on the
morning of September 2, they would
have had four more weeks of very
favorable growing weather. AS it
was, they lost everything.
"THE FROST dispeller, made up
of sheet steel and a little ingenuity,
will put an end to some of natures
nonsense"
The lamp is composed Of a cir
cular piece of stainless steel, shaped
in cone-shaped steps, with an oil
burner within the framework. When
the burner is put into action, the
steel heats until it becomes cherry
red. At this point, infra-red rays
are thrown off, spreading over the
area to be warmed, even entering
the ground in their intensity.
