Government Attempts to Avert
Coal Famine.
PRIORITY LIST MADE
Control of Distribution by Retail Deal
ers May Be Awarded to State
Officials Crisis Near.

Washington, D. c. Wartime re-
strictions on the nations use of coal,
more stringent than those applied dur
ing the war, were ordered into effect
Monday to stave off a fuel famine.
Moved by reports of diminishing coal
stocks and growing danger of distress
in numerous sections, the government
sought no compromise with striking
mineworkers, whose walkout forced
the emergency, but asked for national
determination to endure privation and
discomfort until coal mining was re-
sumed on it's terms.
Fuel Administrator Garfield, acting
in conjunction with the railroad admin
istration, gave notice that hereafter
only the essential consumers included
in the first five classes of the war
priorities list would be supplied with
coal, and asked the help of all state
and municipal authorities to make ra.
tioning effective.
The order, which made national
those restrictions already put into local
effect by regional coal committees,
where the pinch of fuel shortage has
been felt, cut off supplies from all but
transportation agencies, which in
cludes inland and coastwise shipping
as well as railroads; federal and local
governmental institutions, including
concerns working on government con-
tracts; public utilities, including news
papers and retail dealers. Railroad
administration officials conceded that
it meant widespread cessation Of in.
dustrial operations, only justified by
the gravity of the situation.
"It is necessary that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes" Dr.
Garfield said in giving public notifica.
ton Of the step. Public utilities con.
Stunning coal should discontinue to fur.
nish power, heat and light to non-es.
sential industries and should consume
only sufficient coal to produce enough
light, power and heat to meet the &C
tual urgent needs of the people. Ad-
vertising signs and displays of vari-
GUS kinds necessitating the use of coal
should be curtailed and no coal should
be distributed for such purposes"
Officials said that the terms of the
order as given were framed to allow
the greatest possible variation in local
arrangements, so that emergencies
could be met by action best suited to
that result. Industrial establishments
operating their own power plants will
be forced to shut down when present
supplies are exhausted, while the op-
erations of those whose power is sup
piled from public utility plants will be
curtailed or continued in the discre-
ton of local agencies and officials.
DR.. Garfield noted further that the
government would be glad to leave
supervision and control of distribu-
ton by retail dealers entirely ito any
state, county or municipality which
may make provision therefor"

PRESIDENT WILSON has GER
tainly struck popular chord and one
which will undoubtedly popularize his
administration if he succeeds in OBJ
tanning relief, when he tackles the
monster known as the High Cost of
Living" This is a question which has
gotten next to practically everyone
outside of the million dollars class,
and is eating the vitals out of the
nation. The upward flight of prices
of nearly all commodities, started dur
ing the great war, has kept right on,
with never look downward. The
price of first one commodity and then
another is hitched upward, until peo-
pie Of moderate circumstances having
families to support, are at their wits
end to tell how to manage and make
ends meet.
Laborers are forced to demand more
pay because all essential commodities
are 80 high in price. And with each
increase in wages conceded, the price
of the commodity produced by that
labor takes another jump, so that it
is one endless round of higher prices
with no one TO say where or when it
is to stop
Of course there are lot of manu-
facturers and also dealers who are
making unreasonable profits, and it is
this class-the profiteers-that the
President is apparently after. These
and the hoarders Of foodstuifs, are
blamed for large share of the troub-
lie. Just how much relief President
Wilson and congress can afford in the
matter remains to be seen. But at
best we fear il will be only of tenn
porary nature. The whole question

HEALTH EDUCATION
IS MOST IMPORTANT
Utah State Health Association Makes
Timely Observations on Health
Supported by Educators.

One of the things that the Utah
Public Health Association would like
to get into the inner minds of the
people of Utah is the sane use of the
time after the days work is finished.
A few days ago | heard Professor II.
l.. Kent of Kansas, specialist in the
problems of rural education, tell
large group of vocational teachers
that one of the big things of the pres
ent age is to train the children in the
wise use of their leisure time. And
he said one of the truest things that
could be said. II we could only realize
that it is not the things we do while
working, but the things we do after
work that wear us down, we should
be much more careful of how we spend
our evenings and other spare time.
While the caution holds good for ev-
eryone, it is especially applicable to
the man or woman in the early stages
of tuberculosis, the one who finds a
dull tlredness coming on whenever any
extra effort it taken. Such a person
should rest great deal, | believe
that we should all walk great deal
more than we do. Dance-why GER
tainly dance; but sanely, once week
possibly twice, but by no means over
night, or the body must pay nature
her price. Old Dame Nature is relent-
less and will demand her payment.
Common sense in the use of our
leisure time will go far toward max.
ing lot of people better
Placing Health Rightly.

ent of the Utah public schools, speak

NAV
A PATRIOTIC DUTY.

AT the commencement of this school
year at the b. A. c. the usual housing
problem is before us. II is a well
known fact that at the present time
there are no houses for rent in the
city for families; building has not
kept pace with the growth of the pop
ulation, to say nothing about the win
ter influx of students. This is too
serious a matter to be passed up
without an effort and the people will
do well to consider the seriousness of
the situation. There is almost no sac
rifice that we wouldn't make to get
the school if it were not here, but it
seems that the keeping of it now that
is here it not taken seriously enough.
There are number of large houses
in town which could be fitted up for
students if the matter were taken in
hand. and the various families can in
many instances accommodate students
If they will make an effort to do so.
IL has been ascertalned that there are
a great many students in the outlying
settlements who are anxious to come
here this winter if they can obtain
accommodations.
There will be committee appoint
ed within the next few days to can
vass the town for rooms and it is
hoped that no one who can possibly
help out will fail or refuse to give
support to such worthy matter.

SOIL SURVEY IN COUNTIES
OF STATE TO BE MADE
All Utah TO BE Covered by Experts
Making Survey of the Soil.

/ DIR. ID. S. Jennings, professor of
soils at the Utah Agricultural College,
| has just returned from Willard coun-
I ty, Utah, where soils survey of the
county is being made conformity by the
/ College and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. DR.. jennings
reports very satisfactory results and
states that already about one hundred
square miles of the one hundred and
sixty-fve square miles of the Delta
area have been surveyed and mapped.
Mr.. Herman Stuck Of the College De-
partment of Agronomy and Mr.. A. +.
Strahborn soil expert of the United
States Department Of Agriculture are
doing the actual work of making the
survey.
According to DR.. Jennings the soils.
surveys and mapping will constitute
a very valuable aid to the College in
aiding the farmer in the districts so
surveyed. Eventually, it is the pur-
pose of the College and the Depart
ment to make surveys Of the entire
state in this way. Each county will
be surveyed and mapped and the diff
ferent types of soils located and ana
lyzed. Later, when the farmer writes
to the College asking for information
the College soils men will be able to
look up their exact soil conditions and
will therefore be able to advise them
successfully, due to thorough knowl-
edge of their problems. Much time
and expense will thus be saved. Bor-
ings are made every forty acres in
the areas being surveyed and careful
technical mappings are made of each
district with the different types Of
soils located in colors or by some 9TH
err easily recognized method.
DR.. Jennings states that another
seasons work will be required before
the survey will be completed in the
district now being worked. The work
will be carried on until about the first
of October, after which survey oper-
ations cannot profitably be carried on
in this altitude. 1t is a practically
settled fact that the work will be con-
tinued next season and thence forth
until the entire state has been sur
veyed

HOT, DRY WEATHER
AND INSECT PESTS
BY Professor w. w. Henderson, De-
partment of Entomology,
Agricultural College.

Climatic conditions have long been
known to influence the development
Of insect pests. Stormy weather is
injurious to more of them and the al
ternate spells of good weather and
bad, characteristic of the average
spring-time is hazardous. Choppy
weather is one of the most essential
influences in the natural control of
our insect enemies.
The spring of 1919 was not char
acteried by broken changeabe wea-
Their. he warm sunny days of spring
were scarcely disturbed by a slight
change. Summer came and still no
change. We are now in harvest time
with autumn almost here and the
long, long, hot dry spell has not been
subject to any variation.
There are two insect pests in par
ticular which have profted by weather
conditions in Utah this summer, have
developed in enormous numbers and
have added greatly to the losses of
the farmer. They are the grasshop-
per and the brown mite.
BY the term grasshopper, we mean
many species, large and small, early
and late, black wings, red wings, yell
low wings and pellucid. Their name
is Legion" We believe their per-
centage Matching in the early spring
was higher than the percentage
Matching of baby chicks, and in the
absence of the usual CLANCY weather
there has been no "hitch" in the rails
ing. Every county has a particularly
bad outbreak of grasshoppers this
year, due very Largely to the long per-
iod of hot dry weather. But it has
become comparatively easy task to
destroy them. Arsenic, bran and mo-
lasses make tasty mixture on which
they readily feed and from which they
soon die. Some of our results this
summer have shown more than a
thousand dead grashoppers on a space
in the field no larger than the top of
the dining table.
The brown mite it really not an in
sect, but it behaves toward plants as
if it were and for economic purposes
we treat il as such. 1t attacks fruit
trees, bush fruits, field crops and
truck vegetables. It's most intense
injury this summer has been on fruit
trees and bush fruits. 1t matters little
where you make your observations in
Utah this year, the terrible work Of
the brown mite is evident in the de-
vitalized, grayish, "rusty" or even
dried up foliage of the trees. In some
places there are devasted areas in
Guiding hundreds Of acres. Some
blame the condition to drought but
good magnifier reveals the very pres
ence of the tiny mite all over the sur
faces of the leafes. Vile patches of
raspberries, everywhere thought to be
blighted, have practically succumbed
to the ravages of this pest. A good
rain storm destroys most of the brown
mites, and they are fairly well con-
trolled if the infested plants are
sprayed with cold water, especially if
a pint of "Black Leaf 40" is added to
every one hundred gallons,
