THE FUTURE FUEL AND LUMBER SUPPLY

If experts are TO be believed two
very important factors in the lumber
and fuel supply are on the verge of
being exhausted. According to reports
the anthracite coal supply will be ex-
hausted in about sixty-two years and
the last of the tracts of soft pine is
to be cut over and sawed into lumber.
One estimate upon Iowa soft coal
fields is that they will be exhausted
within twenty-five years. The south
ern Illinois coal fields are within sight
of their limit. Doubtless other coal
fields will be discovered and other
mines opened, but 1t is estimated that
these will not Offset the increased de-
mand of growing population.
But when the last soft pine tree shall
have been felled and the last shor:
weight car loaded at the mines 1t is
not likely that people will go unhoused
or unwarmed. If our grandchildren are
to be denied soft pine houses and hard
coal fires, doubtless they will enjoy
something better by GO years of exper-
fence and Invention. The world can
get along without soft pine. There are
still great forests of yellow long leaf.
cypress and various other kinds of
lumber trees and when the substitute
for lumber Is necessary some lnven-

OF pine lumber are teaching the value
OF onr commoner trees. There is
much cottonwood lumber being sawed
at small mills and used in the inside
construction OF barns and sheds by the
Iowa farmers. 1t Is cheap. strong and
durable where protected from the
weather.
II we are to credit the scientist Iowa
lake beds hold an almost unlimited
supply OF an excellent substitute for
coal. Two acres OF the farm planted

fuel question once and for all for the
farmer. There are infinite possibilities
