COAL SHORTAGE
ON Way; Govt.
SAYS BUY NOW
May Be Repetition Of 1918
Conditions Next Winter Says
Geological Survey.
MINES IDLE WITHOUT ORDERS.
Those Who Delay Ordering
Longer May Not Get Their
Fuel Later On.

The United States Geological Survey
announces from Washington the prob
ability of another general coal short
age next fall and winter. The an
nouncement is based the Survey
states, upon nationwide study of
conditions in the bitlA nous field
Unless steps are taken at once, the
Survey says, to place the mines upon
a basis Of increased production there
is every prospect of repetition to
some degree of the situation that pre-
vailed in the United States during the
winter of 191T-1S.
The only way production can be slim
ulated at the present time, 1t is said, is
by placing orders with the mines for
coal which will be needed later on.
production during the first five months
of the year" reads the statement, "feIl
1922, 900 net tons, or approximately
$3.50 below production during the first
five months of 1918 Mines are produc-
ing coal now at the rate of from 5000
600 to 100000 tons week. An aver
age output of 100000 tons week
must be maintained from June / to
January 1 next if the country's estf-
mated needs of 500,0oo,Oo0 tons this
year are to be met"
Evil of Delayed Orders.
At no time during this year has the
rate of production approached the re-
quired tonnage The tendency on the
part of buyers 10 hold off Placing their
orders is limiting production, as the
mines cannot store coal at the point of
production, and when the rush Of
orders for the winters needs comes
next fall there is grave danger that
the mines with depleted labor forces
and the probability of less adequate
transportation, will be unable to meet
the demands The result of such a sit
uation would be an insufficient supply
for the requirements of domestic con-
sumers, public utilities and industrial
users generally.
1T is believed that requirements for
this year." reads a Survey statement
to Fuel Administrator Garfield, will
be about 530,000000 tons of bituminous
coal. of which approximately 100000
tons have been used from stocks accu-
INFLATED last year. leaving 500,000000
tons to be produced. OF this 500,000,-
600 tons 17S,000,00o tons were protluc-
ed during the first five months, leaving
322 100000 tons to be produced in the
remaining 80 weeks, or an average of
lo,T0e, 900 tons a week
"Thus far this year production has
been at the rate of 100000 tons
week. In 1918 production was at the
rate Of 100000 tons a week
This production will be difficult of ae
complishment. The capacity of operat-
Ing mines at the present time with labor
now on the payroll is about 1879 lower
than it was last year. This deficiency
may be made Up in part or wholly if
he mines have orders sufficient to run

With two 14-inch bottoms, under
average blowing conditions, the new
Moline Universal Tractor, Model D,
plows Q acres in 10 hours, as much
IS ordinary 3-ploW machine. The SUI
perior efficiency of the Moline Uni@
versal IS due to It's higher speed, 81
miles an hour, two bottoms at 81
miles giving the same number Of
ploW-miles as three bottoms at "a
miles.
Flowing at 81 miles an hour gives
ideal results, the ground being pull
verized more thoroughly than at
slower speeds, with less air space.
Tough sod that cannot be turned at
al at 25z miles an hour IS plowed
with ease.
Perfect work is assured with the
Moline Universal through the advan-
tageous position Of the operator, who
sits on the implement, where he must
sit IN order TO do good work. The
Moline Universal IS easily handled,
turns short. and backs as readily as
It goes forward.
Waste Of time in the field IS clinic
mated and the tractor kept at produc-
tive work q maximum number Of
hours a day through a complete cleo

Moline Universal is the only tractor
thus regularly equipped,
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1919-05-08

The secret Of the speed and power
of the Moline Universal lies in its
perfected overhead-valve engine and
two-wheel construction The engine
develops IS horsepower at the belt,
and at the drawbar, every ounce OF
which IS available for pull. There
are no dead wheels to drag along
that only carry weight and steer.
For blowing IN extremely soft
ground, the Moline Universal is
equipped with a differential lock that
enables the two drive wheels to be
locked together, doubling their pull
ing power.
When blowing the land wheel IS
raised 50 that the tractor IS level
The wheel IS very easily and quickly
raised or lowered.
The light weight OF the Moline
Universal, $3.50 pounds, and its high
- clearance, 295z inches, make It adapt
ed for all other field work, besides
blowing. With It one man can plant
40 acres a day, cultivate 20 acres a
day, harvest IS acres a day, or do
any other work with equal speed. Il
IS the ideal tractor for any sized
farm, practically eliminating horses
and solving the farm help problem.
