Washington Especially .-Shortage Of
cars in the coal fields has cut produc-
ton Of bituminous coal 100000 tons
in ten weeks and threatens to bring
about recurrence of the coal famine
of 1917-1S, unless checked without de-
day, according to testimony given by
John Callahan. traffic manager Of the
National Coal Association, before the
senate committee investigating the
coal situation, at its first days hearing
here.
During the two weeks ending Au.

shortage caused the bituminous, coal
mines of the country to lose approx.
mately 100000 tons Of coal, enough
to supply the entire state OF New Jer-
sey for ten months. The loss in ten
weeks has been sufficient to supply all
the New England States for eight
months"
Mr.. Callahan declared that II there
are not cars at the mines It Is impos.
sible to operate the mines to full
time capacity. The shortage Of cars
had come, he said, at the time demand
for coal Is increasing, and at time
when railroad efficiency should be 1T
q maximum.

the country are given sufficient cars
to take away the coal they mine," Mr..
Callahan said, "and II there are no

days, with temperatures approximat-
ing those recommended, the kernels
should be sprouted sufficiently to show
their fitness for seed.
If any sample has noticeably weak
termination or has more than two
dead kernels, the ear from which the
sample was taken should be discarded.
There may be times, such as the spring
of 1918 when the supply of good seed
corn is extremely limited. In such
seasons, it is well to retain all ears
showing termination of 60 per cent
or more. The poorer terminating
ears will have to be used if the supply
of seed terminating so per cent or
better is not sufficient. Keep the
poorer seed separate and if it must be
used, plant it thicker than the rest.
When to Use Rag Dolls.
OF course, the testing of the ger
mination of each ear is some trouble.
However, to obtain a successful corn
crop it is work that must be done by
those who have not retained seed corn
of good termination from previous
crop. The holding over OF good seed
corn from a crop that matured thor
oughly makes it possible to continue
the Improvement and adaptation of a
strain without losing seed md is less
troublesome than the making of sepa-
rate ear termination tests. The use
of the rag doll, therefore. is not recon-
mended as the best practice possible,
but as the most satisfactory way of
getting suitable homegrown seed
when a supply has not been held over
from good crop and fall freezes have
occurred so early as to iniure the ger
minating power of the crop.

to hold the ceremony of dedication in
the very village of Bethelmont, where
the three young heroes had given their
lives for freedom, but the community
was situated so near the firing line
that the ceremony had to be held at
Nancy. Ambassador Sharp has sent
to the state department a graphic re-
of distinguished people were present
at the dedication exercises.
NJ. Mirman, in his address before n

the fact that the three young heroes
in whose honor the monument had
been erected were not, indeed, the
first Americans whose blood HAD
tinged the battlefelds of France.

Lead and zinc production comes
from the Magdanela District in Socor-
ro county, the Steeplerock District in
Grant county and the Cooks Peak
District, Luna county. While lead
alone is mined in the Central District,
Grant county, the rVictorio District,
Luna county and the Organ Mountain
District, Dona Ana county, and zinc
in the Hanover and Pinos Altos Dis
tricts.
The report of the United States
Geological Survey on the output of
the mines of New Mexico for the first
eleven months of 1918 and the esti-
mated output for December shows a
decrease in all metals. The total pro-
duction was $681 900 in gold, S6S,OOO
ounces of silver, 9,25O,OCO pounds of
lead, 98,62O,000 pounds of copper and
25,00O,O00 pounds of recoverable zinc.
The total value was $2S,625,000, as
compared with the 1917 output, valued
at $34,9s6,765.
Copper, of course, is the principal
metal produced in New Mexico. The
larger part of this production comes
from the Chino Copper Company's de-
posits at Santa Rita. This is a low
grade ore Whlch is mllled at the COM
pany's immense plant at Hurley. The
Phelps Dodge mines at Tyrone and
the Eighty-five mine at Lordsburg
also enter into the production figures
Other copper mining districts in the
state are the Magdalena District in
Socorro county, the Orogrande Dis
trict in Otero county and the Cara
cito District in Torrance county.
In gold and silver production the
Mogollon District in Socorro county
leads with an output of $115,94S in
gold and $4,000 ounces of silver,
which is less than half of the output
Of this district in 1917. Other dis
tricts producing gold and silver are:
The Aztec mines in Colfax county
