The fuel administration is carrying
on a series of conferences covering all
Industries which use large quantities
of fuel, with a view to learning the re-
quirements of each line during 1918.
The industries themselves are playing
a leading part in these discussions.
The aim Of the fuel administration is
to arrive at a percentage of produc-
ton which, under the circumstances,
will be satisfactory to the manufac-
turers and their workmen, but which
will not represent a consumption Of
fuel for the manufacture of supplies
not needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use of fuel for the pro-
duction of window glass to so per cent
Of the amount manufactured in 1917
Is the result of one of these confer
ences. A survey of the field indicated
that while not more that 100000
boxes of window glass would be used
in 1913, competitive conditions were
likely to result in an overmanufacture
Of at least 100000 boxes.
It is through this system of limita-
ton, together with large economy in
the methods of using fuel, that the
fuel administration expects to supple
ment the production of coal this year.
It is hoped, as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that it will be possible
to mine and transport a larger guam
tity of coal this year than last, but it
Is through these methods of reducing
consumption that a repetition of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.

When the first Liberty motor was
ready to be tested it was taken to
Pixies Peak that it might be studied
while running under atmospheric o
ditions obtaining at high attitudes.
This difficulty of bringing the motor to
the mountain is now overcome at the
department of m bureau of
standards at Washington, by bringing
the mountain to the motor.
Airplane motors are now tested at
the bureau of standards in a labora-
tory where various conditions CORE
spending to high attitudes and low
temperatures are secured. The engine
is placed in an alright concrete room,
provided among other things with re-
f%rigerator coils and a large pump to
reduce the pressure of the air. By use
of this apparatus motors may be OBJ
served under conditions similar to
those at different attitudes, which
might otherwise be done only by actual
airplane flights.

Barring accidents there will be clover

this season will have none next season
Now your clover if you want to
keep the stand. Clover's business, like
that of every other plant, is to make
seed and not hay. When its business
is done it weakens and dies. Hay is
what you want. Then keep your clo-

finish until you are ready for it to
die.
It has been several years since you
have seen the wheat stubble fields as
