FARMERS ASSIST
COAL STRINGENCY
Use of More Wood Would Aid
Economy in Commodity.
MANY DOLLARS ARE IDLE
1t Is Where Team-Hauled Wood Can
Be Used Instead of Railroad
Hauled Coal That Change Of
Fuel Would Help.

Are you coal burner when you
might be a wood burner? Have you
woodland that isn't working? What
can the town man and the suburban
dweller do about the coal stringency :?
Much would be accomplished toward
meeting the present situation arising
from the unparalleled demand for coal
and from the great burden on the ma
TONS railroads, it is believed, If not
only the farmers who have woodlands
but city and suburban real estate own
ers possessing more or less wooded
tracts of land would draw on these
areas for part, at least, of their fuel
supply. In the neighborhood of small
cities as well as larger ones there are
many woodlots from which much fuel
wood could be obtained without en-
croachment on the needed shade trees
and without detracting from. the
beauty of the landscape. In fact,
proper thinning in many cases will
help the development of desirable
trees.
Save by Burning Wood.
AS an instance of how coal can be
saved by the burning of wood, the
United States department of agricul-
ture has cited figures for IT northern
And eastern states with a rural popu-
yation of about 20,00o,O00 which, 1t is
estimated, uses annually about 49,
100000 tons of coal. 1t is figured that
the substitution of wood for one
fourth of the coal burned by farmers
and for one-tenth of the coal burned
in villages would result in saving of
nearly 100000 tons, or between 65,-
600 and 10000 carloads.
1t is where team-hauled wood can be
used instead of railroad-hauled coal
that the change of fuel should DC
made. While it is not expected that
the substitution of wood for coal
could be complete, 1t is true that for
heating many kinds of buildings wood
is the more convenient and ordinarily
the cheaper fuel.
This is particularly true in buildings
for which heat is required only occa-
sionally, but then is wanted in large
volume at short notice.
Arrange for Burning Wood.
Furnaces are built especially for
burning wood in three or four-foot
lengths. If a stove crate is too coarse
for wood a sheet-iron cover over a
good part of the surface will make it
suitable, or a few bricks can be used.

HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD
A WcODCUTTER CUT If

Taking white oak as fairly
typical of the hard woods and
white pine for the soft woods,
the figures below will show up
proximately the amount of cord
wood that may be cut from trees
of different sizes. The figures
will vary considerably with the
extent at which the tops and
branches are utilized and on the
taper of the tree trunks. With
forest-grown trees, utilizing the
branches and tops to about two
inches. these amounts may be
expected:
White Oak.
Ten inches in diameter, 80 feet
high, one-sixth to one-seventh of
a cord; 10 inches in diameter, 60
feet high, about two-fjfths of
cord; "a inches In diameter, 10
feet high, one and one-ffth
cords.
White Pine.
Ten inches in diameter, so feet
high, one-eighth of n cord; Is
inches in diameter, 60 feet high,
one-third of cord; "a inches in
diameter, 20 feet high, seven
eighths of cord.

BURGLAR PLANS REFORM,
FEARS POLICE ACTION

New Worthwhile James
Doyle. "high-class" profession
al burglar. was robbing the
home of Frederick G. Buckout,
a wealthy lumber merchant,
Mrs. Buckout made an effective
appeal to the burglars better
qualities. Doyle agreed to take
only SIS and to return the fol-
lowing day, after being prom
ised a good position with Mr..
Buckout.
He returned and the job was
arranged. Later he lost heart,
explaining that "the police
would never let him live a
straight life." Doyle told the
story while being arraigned for
the theft of $1,000 worth of jew
elry from another New York
home.

which means drying 1t from six to
eight months when piled so as to get
good circulation of air. However,
so per cent of the moisture may be
removed in three months.
Because Of the unusual demand for
cord wood 1t Is believed that the
present time offers unparalleled op-
po.tunity not only for farmers to i'm
prove their woodlands by cutting out
the poorer trees and selling them, but
for private and public owners of
wooded tracts to clear their lands at
a profit. Communities which feel they
are threatened with a serious fuel
shortage will do well to take measures
to stimulate the cutting of wood. Such
action may be viewed as part of
Americas cooperation in the national
endeavor to feed and sustain Ameri-
cas- army and allies.
