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.

meteorologist with the fruit

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.
