well as increased transportation, it is 

 apparent that serious difficulties will be 

 encountered both in the production and 

 the transportation of the amount of coal 

 necessary in order to produce the 500,- 

 000,000 tons for the entire calendar year 

 1919." 



HOW MANY PIPES NEEDED? 



What size and how many pipes will 

 I require in a lean-to 9x80, to be used 

 for propagating? I desire to maintain 

 a temperature of 60 degrees when it is 

 10 degrees below zero outside. The 

 lean-to is six feet high at th^top and 

 three and one-half feet at the eaves. 



L. v.— Kan. 



We would suggest running a 2V2-inch 

 flow pipe on the back wall one foot 

 below the glass. At the farther end 

 drop it down and connect it with return 

 coils under each of the benches. In 

 order to provide for bottom heat for 

 propagating purposes, three 2V^-ineh re- 

 turns will be needed under each bench; 

 otherwise three under the outer bench 

 and two below the bench on the inside 

 of the house will answer. 



In case there is a door in the farther 

 end of the house, or if for any other 

 reason the flow pipe cannot be carried 

 across the end of the house, a 2-inch 

 flow pipe may be carried on each wall 

 plate antl used to supply the coils on the 

 respective sides. 



HEATING WITHOUT BOILER PIT. 



I have a greenhouse, 25x100, on a low 

 piece of ground and am unable to plan 

 any way of heating it with hot water. 

 I cannot have a cellar or pit, because 

 the water level is only about two feet 

 under the surface of the ground. Could 

 I use steam heat to any advantage for 

 a house of this sizet The walls are 

 about four feet iugh,^dp\i1i^le boarded, 

 with a single row^*16-inch glass under- 

 neath the gutters. The ridge is ten 

 feet high. I wish to carry about 55 

 degrees in zero weather. I have on 

 hand enough 2-inch pipe to make two 

 runs the length of the house, and also 

 a large amount of good 2%,-inch pipe, 

 which could be used fot the returns. 

 Would a steam trap have to be usedf
