MAIL TRIBUNE, Madron!, Or. B Ttiurufay, May 7, 1939 The efforts of some local orchardists to reduce smoke from heating have been "more than overbalanced" by the overall increase in orchards being heated, a government official said yesterday.

Orchardisfs Efforts Being Offsfet by Heating Increase Strauss Praised For Effective Science Support Washington - (UPD - Dr. Ed ward Teller came to the de fense of Commerce Secretary Lewis L. Strauss Wednesday, praising him for "longstand ing warm and effective sup port of science." ;-. - Teller wnose work as a physicist contributed to h e development of the H-bomb, testified before the Senate Commerce Committee. The group is considering Strauss' nomination to the Cabinet post. Achievements Outlined Teller said Strauss, former chairman of the Atomic En ergy Commission, has shown "great respect for science and great friendship for scientists.' He outlined AEC achieve ments m - pure science ' un der Strauss' chairmanship. Teller's comments were in sharp contrast to previous testimony from past and pros pective presidents , of the American Federation of Scien tists. David L. Hill, past presi dent of the federation had complained of what he called Strauss' "vindictiveness" and arrogance. Hill ; testified that most scientists would like to see him out of government. Incoming President-David R, Inglis had complained that Strauss impeded - rather than aided scientific - develop ment. Disturbed by Terror In his testimony, Teller also: -Corifirmed that he was, and still is, "greatly disturbed about what appears to me the undue terror which fallout has evoked among the American people." -Expressed "confidence" that there will be an ultimate solution of the problem with which he has been concerned as head of the AEC's Liver more Laboratory - harnessing the power of the H-bomb for peaceful purposes. Jackson county court to dis cuss the Rogue valley's air pollution problem. "Many, many orchards m this valley are putting out less smoke than they did 10 years ago," Rogers said, "but the heated acreage, is up 20 per cent or more." - He said the decrease; in smoke by some orchards has been "more than overbalanced : by more orchards being Tieated." ;.,. Heavy Frost Damage ' vV' "In 1954 ' lot of people got clobbered," Rogers said, re ferring to the heavy frost damage that' year. Some or- chardistsr who-had done little or no heating previously began to see the necessity of heat ing, he continued., vS. "I'm afraid that after; this year other orchards consider ed marginal, may start heat ing," he said.. Rogers explain ed that the. ' heating last month represented "the long est consecutive , days of heat ing on record." The growing emphasis in the past few years on "quality" pears free of frost marking has proved another incentive, Rogers said, to in creased orchard heating in the valley. He estimated that , of 10 thousand acres of orchards in the valley, 5,000 or 6,000 are heated. v Approved Heaters He said "no statistics are available' 'on the relative pro portion of ".approved" heaters to open pots in the local or chards. He said the approved heaters are "spotted all around." But Dunbar Carpenter, chairman of the air pollution committee of the Jackson County Fruit Growers league, said that in his own opinion, "The actual number of ap proved heaters in the valley is over 50 per cent Carpenter's announcement of a three-point abatement program adopted by the league last week was a high light of yesterday's meeting, Under this program, as he de scribed it, the league is to seek written agreements from valley orchardists pledging them to eliminate tire-burning immediately and to change from open pots to approved heaters at the rate of 20 per cent a year. The league would also seek means of education aimed- at reducing smoke. Major Offenders Carpenter said that peach growers "have been the major offenders" with regard to tire-burning. He explained that they were not" active in the fruit growers' league, which includes pear growers primarily. But, he said, he would not be unwilling to contact the peach growers." Carpenter explained that the pear growers, unable to raise their prices, were find ing themselves in an increas ing economic squeeze. The ap proved heaters," Rogers re ported, cost between $7 and $7.50 apiece, while open pots cost about $2. Rogers said that with re spect to heating efficiency the approved heaters, such as jumbo-cone, return-stack and lazy-flame, "do about the same job" as open pots. Recommend Replacements "We recommend that re placements be made pot for pot," he said. But, he added, many orchards have not had enough open pots to gain the heating required. He said that 30 heaters an acre is the rec ommended figure. Hence, as he explained it, while approved heaters may be set out in greater numbers than the open pots they re placed, this ' does not mean that' the new heaters are less efficient in their heating. Both Rogers and Bob Nor ris, field supervisor for Reter V- T. "Bill" Fasel REALTOR Phonn SP 3-3517 1244 S. Riverside Fruit company, emphasized that, "There is no such thing as a smokeless heater." They stated that "approved" heat ers reduce smoke, and espec ially soot, but do not elimin ate it.
