Show BANKER TELLS CLUB QUALITIES OF GREATNESS Facing the Future and the Possibilities It Has in Store for Men and Women Wo-men Theme of Address The following address on the subject, "We Build Our Tomorrow Tomor-row on Today", was delivered by Arthur F. Miles, cashier of the Bank of St. George, at the reorganization meeting of the St. George chamber of commerce com-merce at the Arrowhead hotel last Thursday night: "One of the serious results that come from the experience through which our country has been passing for the past two years is loss of faith. Because some have put their trust in things which they have found do not endure, they draw the hasty conclusion that it is useless to have faith in anything. "They propose to abandon all standards, seek only the easiest course and live merely for the present on trie theory that they may as well eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow they may die. Coolidge." (Continued on page 4) FROST Continued from page one) Since the ease of heating orchards depends upon the height to which the warmed air rises, and this in turn depends-upon depends-upon the difference in temperature tempera-ture of the layers of air above the surface, the "caiiing", as it called, will be measured by erection ere-ction of two- poles with thr-mometers thr-mometers hung at five-foot intervals. in-tervals. One pole in the heated block will measure the rise of the heated air, while another in the unheated air will show the extent of the temperature inversion or "ceiling". It is the existence of this "ceiling" which make? it possible possi-ble to heat orchards by convec-tional convec-tional heaters (most orchard heaters operate about SO per cent by convection, or heating air), by spreading out the warmed air and preventing its rising above the trees. The height of the celing, which depends de-pends upon the temperature of the air during the day preceding preced-ing a frost determines the ease or difficulty of heating. With a high ceiling more air must be heated to heat that about the trees, hence more heaters must be burned. The fuel supply for orchard heating in Dixie comes from Virgin. Crude oil from wells there was tested in a preliminary prelimin-ary way and was found to light and burn readily, leaving only from 2 to 4 per cent residue in the form of a brittle ash, which is easily removed from the heaters. The extension service of the college is planning to hold several seve-ral orchard heating demonstrations demonstra-tions in Washington county in February. These will be in charge of Walter F. Smith, county agent, of Was-hington county, who is cooperating in the heating tests. A number o fruit growers are planning to test heating in their own orchards orch-ards in cooperating with Smith..
