Greenhouse Heating 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 editor of this department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. When information 

 is desired regarding the capacity of boil- 

 ers, or the amount of radiation required 

 for a greenhouse, the needed temperatures 

 should be stated in the inquiry, as well 

 as the amount of glass in the side walls, 

 and the dimensions and general arrange- 

 ment of the greenhouses. It is often help- 

 ful, also, to have a sketch showing the 

 location of the houses. 



COAL PRODUCTION HIOH. 



Greenhouse men welcome the reports 

 of the increase in coal supply and a 

 consequent downward tendency in prices. 

 Recovering from the Thanksgiving day 

 depression, production of soft coal 

 during the week of December 4 rose 

 to a now maximum for the year, 

 according to the United States geologi- 

 cal survey. The total output, includ- 

 ing lignite and coal coked, is estimated 

 at 12,757,000 net tons. 



Not only was this the highest mark 

 attained during the present season, but 

 it has been surpassed only four times 

 during the period over which reports of 

 weekly production extend. The four 

 exceptions were the weeks ending July 

 10 and 24 and September 25, 1918, and 

 October 23, 1919. The record was made 

 possible by the railroads, which fur- 

 nished empty cars sufficient to load 

 232,340 cars of soft coal, an achievement 

 the more creditable because Monday, 

 November 29, the priority in the use of 

 open top cars was withdrawn com- 

 pletely. 



Production of bituminous coal during 

 the first 287 working days of the last 

 four years has been as follows in net 

 tons: 



1917, 516,172,000; 1918, 545,8.58,000; 

 1919, 425,291,000; 1920, 512,431,000. 



A 3-SECTION HOUSE. 



How many feet of 2-inch pipe will it 

 take to heat my greenhouse with hot 

 w.nter? It measures in floor space 

 50x60 feet. What size of pipe should I 

 use for the lead from the boiler and how 

 much should it be reduced f The boiler 

 has forty 2-inch flues, six feet eight
