The pest hog, oel1elna, esamatsd 1t over

higher classes. In England md Scotland peat
is very largely in uae. In The yeaf ls5B there

Great Britain nearly sizty-sepen' million tons,

thousand men are employed. 1u the vicinity

the estimate, based on careful research, that

Of cheap fuel m the Northwest has much to
