We have nothing planted in house No. 5, as it has just been completed, but we want to start it as soon as possible. So, if you can give me information as to how to get a good circulation, in this house as well as in the rest of them, J shall be greatly obliged. Each house contains eighteen 11/4- inch pipes the full length of the houses. No matter how much steam we carry on the houses, we cannot get a good circulation in No. 5. I intend to add another house, about 29x150, next spring. Is my boiler big enough? Please tell me the size of my range in square feet of glass, as I want to take out hail insurance. G. E. Y. Although it is not possible to make an accurate computation of the area of exposed glass without knowing the height of the ridges and the amount in the exposed ends of the houses, the total will probably not differ much from 20,000 square feet. An esti- mate of 75 horsepower for the boiler will be close enough for all practical purposes, and as less than 4,000 square teet of radiation will be required to heat the above amount of glass to GO degrees, there is plenty of reserve power in the boiler for fifty per Cent more glass, so that another house 29x150 could be heated without diffi- culty. The fact that the system works well when the heat is turned on for four of the houses, and does not work when the fifth house is turned on, would indicate that there is some- thing wrong with that house. Possi- bly the valve in the feed pipe to house No. 5 leaks slightly, and this would result in the filling of the re- turns with water. So far as I can see, the radiation is ample for 60 de- grees in each of the houses and 65 degrees in houses 2 and .*?. If 60 degrees is desired in the houses, I would run a 2i/
