NATIONS FUEL

Billions of Tons Of Peat in

The rate az which the coal and timber
Of this country arc being consumed lends
present interest to the subject Of other
fuels. That we have been profigate of our
natural fuel resources Is not to be denied.
Nor until recently did we realize that they
are not inexhaustible. so munihcently
we're we endowed with wood. coal. min
eral oil, and natural gas. To-day We are
not only conserving our supply OF such
fuel, but are looking for substitutes for
them
In discussing this subject Charles A.
Davis. of the United States Geological
Survey. says:

the utilization Of low srade fuels is not
only desirable. but even necessary. if GER
tain kinds of manufacturing are 10 be car
ried on in parts of the country at a dis

Despite the fact that other countries are
producing annually about 100000 tons of
peat for fuel purposes, there has been a

condensed peat" as it is variously called
but the plants have been of small capacity
and the demand for their product has bocn

The geological survey says that a con-
servative estimate OF the extent of the
peat beds Of the United States is 1000

lie almost entirely outside of the territory
