Estimated.

The total number of plants producing
peat in the United States in 1917 was Is,
an increase of five over 1916. All the
producers operating in 1918 except two
contributed to the output in 1917, and
seven companies that were not repre-
sented in that year reported commercial
production. Many new companies were
organized in 1917 that did not complete
their plants in time to contribute to the
years output. The plants known to be
at work in 1917 were distributed as fol-
lows: California, 2; Florida, q; Illinois,
p; Indiana, /; Massachusetts,, l.; New
Jersey, 5; New York, 8; Pennsylvania,
i and Virginia, /.
All the producers reported that the de-
mand for peat exceeded the supply, and
some stated that, on account Of railroad
embargoes and the scarcity OF labor, they
were unable to meet the demands Of their
regular customers. Improvements de-
signed to increase production in 1918
were made to substantially all the peat
plants operated in 1917.

Statistics.

The peat industry in the United States

tity greater by 1887 tons, or about So
per cent, than that sold in 1916, and by
1920 tons, or nearly " per cent, than
the record annual sales, IS, l43 tons, es-
tablished in 1911.
The average price received for peat in
1917 at the point of consumption was a
little more than $7.29 ton, and the
