WHEN DOES TT PAY TO BURN
 WOOD 1NSTED OF COAL

Washington, October Persons
 who plan to relieve the coal shortage this winter by burning wood can fig ure, roughly speaking. that two pounds of seasoned wood have a fuel value equal to one pound of coal. according to tests made by the U. s. Forest Service. For such woods as oak, mesquite.
 or pitchy pine. one cord weighing about 4,000 pounds, is required to equal one ton of coal. For such woods as ordinary pine, ordinary pinon or Douglas fir cord and 8 half weighing about 5000 pounds per cord, is required to equal a ton of coal.
 For cedar, aspen. or spruce, two cords. weighing about 2,000 pounds per cord, are required to equal ton of coal.
 If, for instance, coal costs s10 and cedar can be had cut up and ready
 to use. for s4. 90 per cord, it would pay to burn cedar. On the other hand if cedar costs s 50 it would not pay.
 In some cities, wood is sold by weight, cut up and ready to use Where this is the case, comparison of fuel values is very simple. If coal cost $10 per ton it would pay to burn any kind of wood if obtainab1e at less chan $5 per ton. Reisen affords about twice as much heat as wood, so that resinous woods have a greater heat value per pound tlian nosrresinous woods. The available heat value of wood depends on the amount of moisture present. When the wood is green

FEED SHORTAGE
 FACES ARIZONA CATTLE RA|SERS

Phoenix, Nov. 6.-The sweeping drouth in the grazing lands of Tex as and New Mexico has brought about serious condition on the grazing lands of Arizona.
 Thousands of cattle from the two Heighboring states are being shipped irto Arizona and turned loose on the grazing lands of this state. The re- suit is that Arizona cattlemen are facing ruinous losses because of a shortage of feed. It is said that Ari- zona has barely enough feed to pas ture her own cattle. Now comes this serious drain upon the grazing lands of the state by virtue of importations Of cattle from the stricken states. The Livestock Sanitary Board re ports that within the last few weeks [ thousands of starving cattle from Texas and New Mexico have been 1 brought into Arizona. Although they realize the serious drain that is be- ing put upon the resources of Arizona by these starving cattle, the board is helpless to do anything to stop it. The cattle are inspected by the state veterinarian to prevent diseas- ed cattle from being brought into the state. Further than this, the state can do nothing
 It is said that the imported cattle are in very poor condition. This has resulted in the cattlemen from these two states attempting to register theirb ra1ds in Arizona wherever this procedure is possible. In many in stances, however this cannot De done because the brands are already registered in Arizona. The effort on the part of the outside cattlemen to register their brands in this state is said to be due to the fact that most ol their cattle being moved to Ari, zona are in such poor condition that rebranding would probably be fatal to the bulk of the stock.
 The inevitable result of this seri ous condition relating to the short age of feed for cattle in Arizona is in creasing the price of beef. The only cattlemen in the state who are protected by the influx of these cat
 tie are the men whose cattle are grazing on protected ranges.
