The fruit on the inside of an unheated tree would prob- ably have shown a much hiojluT temperature. In a letter from H. B. Chase, who conducted the experiments, it is stated that the tem- perature of the air in the orchard showed no appreciable increase, but the trees and fruit came through in much better shape than the trees which were not heated. The only conclusion to be drawn from this is that all of the heat given off by the electric heater is radiant heat which passes through the air without heating it and is absorbed by the limbs, foliage, and fruit. The great advantage of such a heater over the oil or coal heater at once becomes evident. With the electric heater the heat given off practically all gets to the place where it is needed, while with the other forms of heat generators which are placed in the rows be- tween the trees, the heat given off (largely convectional heat) is carried up above the trees to a great extent and therefore lost. Electric heating on a large scale is apparently out of.
