. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. BETTER FRUIT P^ge 37. The Almire Fruit Farm, situated in the Upper Hood River Valley, seven miles from the snow line of Mount Hood, containing 151 acres, of which 116 acres are set to Newtowns, Jonathans and Arkansas Blacks. This orchard is owned by Mr. A. Millard, Omaha, Nebraska, and is manage'd by Mr. J. F. Thompson but it is the heat that is of primary importance. This method of fighting frost was begun on a commercial scale about four years ago. The fact that most of the intensive orchard sections of the irrigated West, as well as some of the best cared for orchards in every apple producing state in the Union were heated last spring indicates how successful the practice has been. No less than eight types of heaters have been put on the market. This is also suggestive of the extent with which they are being used. There are two general types of heat- ers, those made for burning coal and those made for burning oil. Most of them are made of stove pipe iron. If dipped into oil and protected from the weather while not in use they should last from five to ten years. The coal heaters are built either the shape of an ordinary bucket with a partially open bottom or cone shaped with per- forations in the sides to give draft. They are fitted with legs, and hold about a peck. Owing to the greater amount of labor connected with oper- ating the coal heaters they are not considered as economical as the others, except possibly in coal producing localities, where it may be had for less than five dollars per ton. Another objectionable feature is that they can- not be put out as readily nor the amount of heat controlled at will, as in case of the oil burning ones. There are several types of oil heaters on the market, each one claiming some supe- rior point of merit over the others. Those types holding less than eight quarts are apt to need refilling before sunrise. This is almost sure to be true if it is necessary to light them before midnight. The t
