A cord OF hardwood has fuel value
equal TO two-thirds of a ton Of hard
coal.
Stumps should he cut as low ms pos
slble TO avoid waste and save future
trouble.
All wood large enough to be made
into stove wood should be used. Split
wood small enough so that one man
can load it on wagon.
Pine should be split smaller than
hardwood so that IL may dry out quick

when green.
In cutting original growth forests,
utilize old trees Which are not at for

These are the two chief appeals in
the campaign now being launched by
the United States Fuel Administration
10 bring about a considerable use of
wood to replace coal In states where
domestic fuel is scarce. or course, II
you cut wood you do not have TO buy
coal and II you have wood piled up you
will not worry over coal shortage,
such as Is possible through the "fu'
having cut down the production Of an
thracite coal.
New England. in particular, has
much wood available within easy reach
of large centers Of population. The
"Cut-a-Cord" Club OF belmont, six
miles from Boston, was one Of many
similar organizations which proved We
hicles for wholesome days NJ outdoor
sport and happy social even ngs.
The Forestry service will cooperate
with the Fuel Administration, through
state administrators, this winter IN To-
eating available supplies ul standing
timber and seeing that trees more val

Householders in the Middle West,
hitherto accustomed TO the use of an
thracite coal, We're placed on reduced
allotments OF hard coal this winter In
order that the northeastern section of
the country might have its customary
full supply.
With distribution facilitated through
the working Of the zone system, the
amount OF hard coal available ap-
peared to be more than ample for re-
quirements. The anthracite miners
had maintained d steady level of pro-
duction during summer and fall
months which seemed TO provide con-
sentative basis for estimates.
A tremendous slump in production
followed the sweep OF the influenza cpl
demic, however. Hundreds of miners
fell Ill from the disease. and OF those
who recovered few were able to reach
their former efficiency within several
weeks.
The lions mined" figures. after n
slight upward trend from the worst of
the "flu" effects, fell again when the
miners Joined hands with the rest OF
tile country in the two celebrations OF
the signing OF the armistice
Between the two causes, the total
anthracite production figures received
