hou Cadona Now Leading Romans Backward But
cUr,A.coRD CAMPAIGN
Coal May Be Harder to Get Next
Year Than This.

CdI iIioH iIiS.
Coal is in great demand all through
| New England, but, in spite of the best
endeavors Of the Fuel Administrator
| the supply has fallen far behind the
requirements. The situation in ser
ious.
At the present time New England is
several million tons of soft coal short
of it's needs, and while the hard coal
supply was reasonably satisfactory
two months ago there was falling
off during September and October,
so that there is not enough now COM
ing forward to meet the increased de-
mands
Every effort has been and Is being
made by the Fuel Administrator to
facilitate shipments and to secure to
economical utilization Of the coal re-
sary forms of use have been curtailed
or even eliminated.
The fact remains that the outlook
for any improvement is future de-
liveries for New England in unfavor-
able, and 1t has become the duty of
the administrator to advise the pul
of these facts, and to urge that per-
sonal and community prudence and
national patriotism require that New
England should begin at once to ut
ilize as fully as may be the native
cordwood supplies.
At a recent conference of fuel offic-
lals, woodland owners, wood dealers,
the Grange and others interested, re-
presenting all the New England Stat
es. the opinion was unanimously ex.
pressed that an organized effort
should be made without any delay to
provide store OF wood sufficient for
immediate and future needs.
The reports from the several states
indicated positively that the supply OF
wood now on hand is everywhere
short even of normal requirements.
and that there nowhere appears TO be
any danger of glutting the market
through any cutting activity that may
be inaugurated. In view OF the likli-
hood that there will be an even
greater stringency in the coal situa-
tion later in the season, and with the
possibility that these conditions may
not be materially improved another
year, the present or future market for
good cordwood bears most promis-
ing appearance.
1t was further recommended by the
conference referred TO above that an
appeal should be made to Local Com
mittees of Public Safety in all wood
producing localities. and to county
agents as we'll. to take an inventory
OF all available supplies of cordwood
stumpage that are situated within
reasonable distance OF a market and
to endeavor forcefully to arrange for
its cutting without delay.
II Is therefore earnestly requested
that the Oranges and the Farmers
Clubs will Immediately take an ac-
tive part in cooperating with the To-
cal committees on Public Safety in
this important matter. This work is
being done in Vermont under the di-
rection of II. j. NJ. Jones, State Fuel
Administrator.

Federal Fuel Administrator for New
England.

M|DDLEMEN
ARE NOT MASTERS

The more general use OF oleomar-
garine to break down butter prices has
caused more butter to be be placed in
storage, yet butter prices will continue
high.
Stocks Of wheat and corn are prac-
tically exhausted. There are practically
no vegetable stocks in the state.
TT cannot be too strongly asserted
that our middlemen are not wasters."
said Mr.. Barnard. Scores Of reports
have come to my office to the effect
that commission men were allowing
stocks Of potatoes apples and oranges
to rot and waste in order that they
might create scarcity and force higher
prices. We found these reports to be
without foundation"
Mr. Barnard ripped straight up the
back those persons who have stocked
their pantries and cellars with surplus
foodstuffs because they were scared by
the prospect of shortage. This specu-
,lative buying. he said. has helped to
run prices up. Much Of this food viii
spoil before IL can be used.
He said surplus fruits and vege-
tables should be canned or dried. The
people should eat more fruit. He made
these recommendations:
"All efforts toward the conservation
OF food should. II is evident. be directed
first to the saving OF crops grown on
/ the farm. Wastage in the orchard. in
| the corn field. in the vegetable garden
| can be and must be prevented
NO food should be sent to market
unless properly packed and in good
condition. This viii prevent a great
wastage at distribution points.
Dealers must not overstock. Ii Is
| a crime to allow fruit and vegetables
i to rot and bread to become stale In
| the grocery stores.
| The housewife must buy wisely, pre-
/ pare carefully and serve economically
the food necessary to maintain her
! family in health.
| with all of these agencies working
/ to the same end. not only will Indiana
feed her people, but she will havs a
large surplus for the other peoples
who are dependent on our granaries
