(.ari;eId'S Statement.

Washington, Jan. 1G.-Fuel Admin istrator Garfield issued this state m"nt:
 Adverse weather conditions in the past week and the inadequacy of the coal supply and transportation facili' ties to meet the wartime demands have made necessary immediate re- strictiVe measure as to the use of coal in that part of the United States east of the Mississippi river.
 9Th" movement of coal in trans pOrtation must be so directed as to aid the director general of railways in dealing with the railroad emergency created by recent blizzard conditions. Domestic consumers of coal must be kept warm and other absolutely neces- sary consumers must be supplied "All industry must be fully, re- stricted to it's use of coal in order that the available supply for the re- mainder of the winter may be prop erly distributed and may he made sufficient for absolutely essential needs during the remainder of the winter.
 Designates Days.
 "To meet these immediate necessi- ties the fuel administration has or dered as a necessary emergency meas ure that on the days of January Is, 19, 20, 21 and P preference and prior ity in the use of coal shall be given only to those consumers whase con sumption of coal is absolutely neces- sary. These include. in order, rail- roads domestic consumers, hospitals and charitable institutions, public ,I,; do foy bunker purposes, United States gov ernment use, municipal or county gov ernments for necessary public use, manufacturers of perishable food or food for immediate consumption.
 All On Equal Footing.
 During the five days designated no manufacturing industry shall be allowed to operate, even if it has it's coal supply on hand. By this means ~all industry will be placed on an equal footing and each will be called upon 10 make it's share of the sacrifice necessary to maintain the nation at the highest possible point of military and economic efficiency for the prose- cution Of the war.
 "In addition to this emergency re- striction over the designated five days the fuel administration has oruered that all use of fuel, except by con- sumers classed as absolutely neces- sary, shall be prohibited on Monday of each week from January 2S to March 9. That is, on January 2S, February I. II. IS. 25 and March 4, H., IS and 25
 "The order under which these re- strictions are made is designed to dis tribute with absolute impartiality tha burden of patriotic denial. All classes of business are treated alike. Except on the days covered in the order the normal supply of coal to all consumers will be maintained. The necessary consumers designated in the order are given preference and

They decline to talk about it until they had an opportunity to di- ScSt the new regulatiOn which came as a complete surprise to fhen. 1t was the cOnccnsus of opinion, however, that for the next week they would be the busiest men in New York Busi- ness men were not so reticient and it was easily gathered from their re- marks that they do not look with favor upon the order. Most of them, especially newspaper publishers. ex- pressed more or lCsU confusion as to just what il meant. 4 delegation of th&atI lcal men announced that they would go to Washington tonight and appeal to the administration to permit them to keep open Mondays, but close Tuesdays Ii was cXplained by them that the psychological effect upon the public of having a holiday Monday, and no place to go except home, would be demoralizing upon the New York public.

COUCH SFIzES 2O
 CARS OF COAL 10 kEE:P M. ? p. MOVING
Extra Engines and Passen- ger Trains Rush 40 More
 for Emergency Use.

Little Rock, Jan 1G.-Fedoral Ad- ministrator H. C. Couch today confis- cated 20 carloads of coal destined for industrial plants in the state. and de- livered them to the Missouri Pacific railroad. This seizure followed an ap- peal from the railroad officials, who said they would be unable to move fuel, food and passenger trains with out immediate supply of coal Extra engines and passenger trains under the orders of the Rock Island and Missouri Pacific officials brought in 40 carloads of coal Wednesday morn ing. The fuel was divided among To- cal plants and retail dealers. the Mis- scuri Pacific and domestic distributors at Pine Bluff and Hot Springs.
 Coal for industrial users in Little Rock was scarce Wednesday, morning, and the efforts of the fuel administra- tion were directed toward relieving the situation the best and quickest way possible.
 Enough coal, however, for domestic us, was furnished dealers.
 Forty cars of coal from points east and west of Little Rock were brought into the city Wednesday morning, but these, together with the supply brought in Tuesday, were quickly dis posed of.
 Four cars were dispatched to Pine Bluff to take care of the serious short age there over the day; three cars were sent to Hot Springs and num- Der of others was sent to various towns where conditions were deplor- able.
 Railroads Asks Help.
 Because of the severe snoWstorm in Illinois, cutting off their supply of coal, the Missouri Pacific appealed to the local fuel administration office Wednesday for 20 cars of coal, neces- sary to run fuel, food and passenger trains in the state
 This call made necessary the confis. cation of several coal shipments to industrial plants in different parts of the state. "These fuel and food trains must be run at any hazard said Mr. Couch Wednesday morning. "We must take care of the industrial users whose coal was confiscated, and we will at once,"
 The 20 cars given to the Missouri Pacific took all the available supply which ordinarily would have gone to oil mamfactories. gins and other in dustiral plants.

Now 10 the Time to Cover Raspbeeries.
Whether we win have a raspberry
crop in the county next season de
pends upon the winter and spring
weather. The red raspberries are
especially susceptible 70 cold weather,
generally tho black raspberries vii
make crop In q normal season. How
ever, there il nothing sure about them
InAorder to be sure cover the plants
DR.. E. P. Sandsten Of the Agricultural
College says the following rules should
be observed in covering the plants:
IF the bushes have not al, eady been
thinned out. cut out All but 10 or A.
canes. Bond the canes over by tak-
ing hold Of the middle. Of the canes
with the left hand. and with the right
hand grasp the small canes close to
the ground and bend them slowly over.
This will prevent the breaking OF the
canes which are very brittle. Begin
at one end of the row and bend the
canes and cover in one direction Two
men. one on each side Of the row. do
the covering while the third man does
the bending.
"Spading forks are the best tools
for covering. The soil should be put
verified so tina. there vii be no ai-
spaces around the canes II air holes
are left the canes dry out and are SUI
ject 10 freezing and thawing during
the winter and spring with the result
hat many canes will die. II the work
is vel done. four or ave inches Of
soil will do.
"A little care in covering may make
a difference between a partial and a
full crop. A little time spent in COW
ering the berries may mean the diff
ference between q full crop and NJ
crop at ALL"
