WOODS SUPPLY FUEL TO
AID COAL SHORTAGE
Thousands of Dollars Spent for
Coal in North Carolina Could
be Saved.

Thousands of dollars spent for coal
in North Carolina could be saved and
farm woodlots could be improved at
the same time if the farmers of North
Carolina would supplement with wood
the coal used for various purposes.
according to information furnished by
the Agricultural Extension Service of
the college and department Of agri-
culture at Raleigh.
In many of the woodlots there is
considerable waste fire wood, dead
trees, and different kinds of other IN
derbrush that we might call tweed"
trees which could be used for fire
wood; and when two pounds of seas
oned wood is approximately equal to
one pound of coal in heating value,
this would mean considerable saw
ing in coal. Quite few cities in the
State have already taken notice Of
this fact by establishing municipal
wood yards and otherwise encourage
ing the selling and buying of this
commodity.
| The Ohio Experiment Station has
found that cord Of hickory, oak,
beech, birch, cherry, hard maple, ash,
elm, or locust is equal in fuel value
to ton of coal. The same heat val
use exists in cord and half of cyca-
more, soft maple, hemlock; or in two
cords of poplar, catalpa, bass wood
or white pine, as in a ton of coal.
Owners of wood lots can easily cut
enough fuel for themselves and even
supply the same to local markets
through the winter and will thus use
their spare time to good advantage
as well as the time of their hired mer
who probably have lot of extra idle
time on their hands. In this way they
might make profit for themselves
as we'll as use, lot of wood that i
now wasting away and which Nigh
displace much high price coal.
Much of the many thousands O
acres of woodlots in North Carolin
could be cleared of waste wood at
profit this year, and be improved j
addition. Some trees are old and dc
crepit, and others are spreading an
bushy in growth. Useless themse.ve
for lumber, they crowd out thrift
young trees or prevent seedlings frol
starting. When such weed trees. al
removed young seedlings spring L
naturally and soon grow into timbe
of value.

in Tulsa was a disappointment to his

Oklahoma City. They could have ex-
cused him for failing to hold the ban

they could have excused him for
losing a decision to Benny Mcneil at
