Chase, who conducted the experiments, it isstated that the tem-perature of the air inthe orchard showed noappreciable increase,but the trees and fruitcame through in muchbetter shape than thetrees which were not heated. The only conclusion to be drawn from thisis that all of the heat given off by the electric heateris radiant heat which passes through the air withoutheating it and is absorbed by the limbs, foliage, and great advantage of such a heater over the oil or coal heater at once becomesevident. With theelectric heater the heatgiven off practically allgets to the place whereit is needed, while withthe other forms of heatgenerators which areplaced in the rows be-tween the trees, theheat given off (largelyconvectional heat) is carried up above the trees to agreat extent and there
