In the same period British Bombing

A notable feature of the aerial op-

COAL SHORTAGE THIS
WINTER IS PREDICTED
Requirements from Now ON Will Ex-
coed Production: Shortage Will At
feet Manufacturers Chiefly, But Also
Will be Felt in Homes.

Washington, August 1S.-Not even
the most drastic restrictions and close
economies will prevent coal shortage
next winter. it is feared by officials OF
the fuel administration. The short
age, though it will be in bituminOus
supply. affecting manufacturing, will
be felt in some degree by the domes-
tic consumer unless the country mana
ees to save between 50,000,O0O and
100000 tons.
With a weekly requirement of pro-
duction in bituminous coal equal to
the output from now until the end OF
the coal year, March 81, 1919, the last
recorded weeks shipments, show the
fourth successive week of decreasing
output.
The decrease was equivalent to a
million tons net, or 7.6 per cent below
the record of the week of July 81,
when production reached 19,2S6,OOO
net tons, An output of l4,5OO,OOO net
tons a week for the rest of the summer
months would be necessary to make up
that deficit, particularly as the esti-
mates of consumption are increasing
daily through new war industries or
expansion Of existing war fuel needs.
The loss of production for the week
of August 10, which is fairly represen-
tative of the conditions generally from
week to week, is attributed as follows:
Car shortage, rs per cent; labor
shortage, including strikes, Al per
nc market, .02 per cent; all other caus-
es 1.3 per cent
The production of anthracite, which
is included for domestic consumption,
also shows a slight decrease, but there
is little likelihood that it will not ex-
coed for the year the production of
last year.
Last year the United States consum-
ed 650,000,000 net tons of coal, 1O0,-
100000 of anthracite and 550,000,00O
og bituminous, and the production for
that consumption was 50,000,000 tons
more for the year than had ever before
been producedannually in the United
States. This year there must be pro-
duced 735,000,00O net tons to date, and
these requirements are increasing with
no prospect of appreciate pruning
no prospect of sufficiently increasing
production and no prospect of cutting
off coal from the less essential con
sumers in part or entirely, that the
war work may go on.

DESTRUCTIVE CORN PEST APPEARS
IN NEW ENGLAND

One of the most destructive insect
pests of corn. known as the European
cornstaik borer. discovered in eastern
Massachusetts last summer. Is spreading
rapidly to other neighboring localities.
according to entomologists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
most VIGOROUS and energetic action pos
sible will be required on the part Of
farmers and gardeners. county agents
and entomologists II the pest Is to be
eradicate or satisfactorily controlled, the
SPECIALISTS declare in statement just
issued.
1t Ia known that shipments of infested
ears of sweet corn were shipped last
wear to practically all the New England
States before the presence Of the worm
was discovered. Corn growers are warm
ed TO be on the alert to discover this
pest in growing corn or within the stalks

urged to watch for it In such vegetables
as tomatoes, beans and some of the COM
mon weeds. In the caterpillar stage this

KILLED BY COLD
Apple Trees. Particularly Baldwins,
Dead by the Thousands

Dead by the Thousands
Some Of the damage done by last win
ter's cold Is now seen In the apple
orchards Of the State, where trees,
which cannot be replaced In many years,
are dead to the number Of thousands.
Where the trees survived there Is every
evidence of a good crop. but here again
a difficulty is encountered by tho apple
dealers, who find It almost impossible
to obtain barrels for shipping the crops.
A stronge feature of the damage done
by the cold Is that 1t seemed to affect
the Baldwins. which are supposed to be
one Of the hardest varieties, more than
any other. Up in Walter Robinsons
orchard on South Hero at least 100 Bald
win trees just In their prime at the age
of IS years are dead. This took pretty
nearly one-third of his block. The
orchard was one Of the finest in quality
in the State and represented great
amount of money and work. The trees
were sheltered by hedges and were in
shape to stand most anything, but they
were winter-killed. Elmer Hill, also in
South Hero, was another big looser and
the apple growers all through Grand
Isle county lost heavily. South Of here
there also was big loss and the damage
extended way down into Massachusetts,
where one farmer lost every one of $50
Baldwns, which he set out four years
ago.
The trees sometimes leaf out and then
the leaves dry up and die and the tree
dies afterward. Some trees even bios
somed and then died. Other trees had
one side dead and the other alive. The
Greetings, Northern Spies, or Shows, no.
where suffered as badly as the Baldwins.
The barrel trouble, like everything else,
Is attributed to the war and the man
who uses barrels for f1rewood now is in :
sane. The Brooklyn Cooperage COM
pany, the largest in the world, can get
out only very small percentage of its
barrels this year for the reason that the
government has taken it's men, who were
used in the Maine forest to get out the
lumber. and In the shops to make the
barrels. Other cooperage concerns have
suffered accordingly.
The local market is shy of barrels for
the reason that no flour is being BOUGHT
by the barrel and no barrels can be col
| lected from the grocery houses. E. p.
LOOMS & Co. have secured an amount
which probably will carry over their
trade for this year. but in another year
, there may be such a thing as shipping
barrels In bulk. For the first time in
their history the company ha, been
| obliged to send a man out securing the
| country for barrels.
