Cost, Installation of
Tower Approved by
Cost and installation of a
gteel tower for local orchard
heater research will be under
written by the Jackson Coun
ty Fruit Growers League, it
was decided at a meeting Friday.
W. J. Rogers, of the fruit
frost forecast warning service,
ore ?red the tower Saturday,
h : said, and will be installed
t: i first of April.
The 88-foot telescopic tower
with temperature measuring
instruments at different levels
will be erected in the Scott
Hamilton orchard, northwest
of the Medford airport, to
make a profile study of air in
version. An orchard such as
Hamilton's, which is not heat
ed during the frost period, is
needed for the study, he said.
Conditions Slable
Inversion occurs during
stable conditions when cold
air lies beneath a warm air
layer. Since heat rises, warm
air will not replace the colder
air.
Besides providing an inver
sion measurement throughout
the Rogue valley, the study
results can be compared to
inversion in northern, central
and southern California.
There this weather condition
occurs to a much milder de
gree, Rogers noted. What has
been learned in southern and
northern California can be ap
plied here, he added.
Research on inversion was
started in the valley about the
mid 1920's, Rogers noted. Re
searchers then mounted in
struments on a wireless tower
which they climbed . every
week. The new tower will
have climbing, since it can be
save climbing, since it can be
above the ground. A pipe on
top will mount an instrument
95 feet above the ground.
Explain Conditions
At Friday night's meeting
in the Jackson county court
house, Rogers and Clifford B.
Cordy, county horticultural
agent, explained weather con
ditions, when to fire orchard
heaters and how to handle
heaters efficiently.
Fruit growers were told
when to fire heaters at var
ious stages of fruit bud de
velopment. During the early
stages of bud development the
mercury may drop generally,
as low as 22 to 23 degrees be
fore heaters need be fired.
As the fruit buds open up,
late stages may require heat
ing at 31 degrees. These stages
depend on conditions in each
orchard and specific weather
conditions, Rogers pointed
out.
With warm weather push
ing fruit buds, a rough figure
for heating may be 25 degrees
now. However, some orchards
are further along than others,
the meteorologist noted.
The lower the heaters burn
the more heat can be put out
per gallon of oil, Rogers told
the growers. For maximum ef
ficiency heaters should not be
fired any sooner than they
have to be or used any long
er than necessary consistent
with the safety of the fruit
buds.
Approved Heaters
Three generally approved
heaters are the lazy flame,
jumbo cone, and return stacks.
Steel
Growers
Each requires a different type
of handling. All of them are
capable of emitting only one
gram of smoke per minute,
Rogers explained, If carefully
controlled.
Following discussion on how
to handle each of the different
types of heaters, Rogers ex
plained that the return stack
heaters should be burned with
all louvres closed or as close
to that as possible. This de
pends on the amount of leak
age around the top cap, he
said. Under certain condi
tions, these heaters may have
to be opened up, but rarely
more than one hole, he added.
The burning rate of the lazy
flame heater varies from 3A
gallons an hour to a little over
a gallon an hour. This type of
heater should be burned with
one hole open.
Jumbo cones are more like
the lazy flames, about one
hole, sometimes 3A of a hole
open. With this type of heater,
the burning rate varies from
heater to individual heater.
"Orchard heating is like
cooking on a stove or heating
a room," Rogers described.
"There is no sense in leaving
heaters wide open or holding
the temperature 2 to 3 degrees
higher than you need to.
You're merely wasting oil!"
Considering weather condi
tions, Rogers said the damper
the night the more gentle the
temperature drop. More dam
age is done to fruit buds on
dry cold nights, but research
ers have not come up with
the reasons yet, he said. Dur-
ing dry nights the tempera
ture behaves more erratically
and drops faster.
