whatever its name. is being worked out
as a solution OF the problem of COR
relating the extremely complicated and
diverse ramfcations of the war labor
situation.
Plans have not been formed definitely
enough Yet to indicate just what the
status and all the functions of this
orsaniZa ton will be. At present it tends
to be labor administration, independ-

as its wartime scope and operations
are concerned In this respect it Will
bear a relation to the Department Of
Labor similar to chat the food admins

Before this method could be used
the bog must be drained and water
removed from its surface. The sur
vey described the method of drain
ing and of digging the peat. The
blocks of peat range from 8 to 10
inches in length, from 4 to inches
in width and from 3 to inches in
thickness, and as they are dug they
are removed to the drying grounds
and placed on end or on covered
racks. At the end of about four
weeks in which they should be fire.
quently turned, the blocks are usu-
ally read for storage. AS cut peat
absorbs moisture rapidly, great care
should be taken to protec the blocks
from rainfall. To produce better
peat and in large quantities, the ma
chine process should be used.
To meet the demand for specific
data relating to the quantity of peat
and its suitability for use as fuel or
for fertilizer in this country the
United States geological survey has
an exhaustive examina-
tion OF the New England Lake and
Atlantic peat regions.

PEAT FOR FUEL NOW
DIRECTOR OSBORN OF THE
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
GIVES RULES
Peat is Found in Many States and
Its Storage in Localities Remote
From Coal Fields Would Release
Much Needed Cars.

New York Times: This is the
season for preparing and storing
peat, and in view of the possibility
of another coal shortage this winter,
the use of peat for fuel is going to
be a matter OF Importance in GER
tain localities. In this connection
the director of the United States
geological survey calls attention to
the practicabiity of thus using peat
and has offered suggestions for pre-
pairing, storing and using it.
Vast deposits of peat that could
be converted into fuel are found
throughout New York the New
England states. in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Iowa Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, according to c. c. Osbon of
the survey, who has recently made
a study of the subject. There are
many peat beds also on the Atlantic
postal plan from New Jersey to
southern Florida and westward on
the Gulf Coast to the Mexican boun-
Diary Mr.. Osbon said. This coastal
plan was remote from known coal
fields and contained few other min
eral fields. The preparation and
storage in farming communities and
villages OF peat taken from these
deposits by the owners of small bogs
and by citizens associations for dis
among their members,
would not only increase the local
fuel supply and in many localities
prevent recurrence of the suffer
ing caused by the recent fuel short
age but would release railroad cars
that would be vitally needed for 9th
er purposes.
Peat, or muck as it is frequently
