JOINT COAL BOARD
PROPOSED IN EUROPE
French, Belgian and Italian In
terests Act Upon Advice
Of Hoover
WARNED OF DISASTER
BY the Associated Press

Paris. Aug 5.-Shipping and fuel
representatives of France. Belgium and
Italy conferred with Herbert Hoover,
head of the international relief organi-
zation, here and decided to urge the Su-
premc Council of the Peace Conference
10 appoint n European coal commission
to 60 ordinate the distribution Of Eu-
ropean coal in an effort to avert what
threatens to be disaster.
The meeting was held ms n result Of
n warning given by Mr.. Hoover in an
address at the recent conference in Lon
don Of the Supreme Economic Council.
He said the European coal production
was 35 per cent below normal and that
the United States could not offer relief
because of the shortage of shipping.
During his address Mr.. Hoover said
THE fate Of European civilization
now rests in the hands of the coal
miners and coal mine owners of Europe
TO an equal, if not to greater degre"
than in the hands Of the providers Of
food and supplies during the next year. "
Mr.. Hoover declined to accept the
permanent direction of the proposed Eu
ropean coal commission, stating that he
believed the problem to be strictly Eu
ropeau and that the situation cannot
be relieved materially by the slight help
which the United States can give.
Mr.. Hoover said to the fuel repre-
scntatives of the various governments:
"Thc coal problem, with that of the
approaching harvest and the solution
of the immediate food pressure, comes
TO the front as the greatest menace to
the stability of life in Europe. This
problem is domestic to Europe and is
incapable of solution from the United
States.
"Disregarding all other questions. an
additional load Of 900 900 tons month =
lr on American ports would indeed be a
large tax in the face of the trebling Of
the food exports of the United States
above the normal prey war level. Fur
thermOre, such n tonnage would entail
a tax on the worlds shipping which
cannot but affect freight rates gencr
ally.
with n shortage in production OF
%, 900 900 tons per month the contribu =
tion Of even 1000 900 tons monthly
from America would be of little i'm =
portance
Only greatly increased coal pro
duction and an improved organization
for its distribution can save Europe
from disaster next year. Mr.. Hoover
explained, and he urged that some sort
! of fuel control be established which vii
greatly stimulate production and secure
such distribution as will maintain es.
sential services upon which economi,
and political stability must rest.

DON'T ovERsTock THE
POULTRY YARD


The size of the poultry flock which
can be kept most efficiently will de-
PEND first of all upon the space avail
able, and, secondly, upon the amount
Of table scraps or other waste which
is available for feed, say the poultry
SPECIALISTS Of the Extension Division,
Louisiana State University. 1t is a
mistake to try to oyerstock the avail
able space. Better results will be OBJ
tained from a few hens in small
yard than from a larger number. The
backyard poultry flock rarely will
consist of more than 20 or rs hens,
and In many cases Of not more than
s or 10, or occasionally OF only 8 or 4.
For a flock of 90 or rs hens space
of not less than rs by 80 feet should
be available for a yard. Where less
snace is available, the size of the
fGock should be reduced, allowing on
the average Is to 80 square feet per
bird. a few hens are sometimes kept
successfully with smaller yard al.
lowance than this, but If the space is
available yard Of the size indicated
should be used.

though pedigrees and registration pa
pers are necessary to the swine
breeder, yet they are sometimes a
means of deceiving the purchaser,
many OF whom seem to believe chat q
pedigree Is in itself indisputable evi-
