FROST CRACKS IN TREES.

During zero weather a person may observe cracks extending oftentimes from the surface of the ground up into the main limbs of fruit trees, and these cracks may be from a quarter of an inch to 8 half inch wide.
 They are known as frost cracks caused by the expansion of the ice when the sap freezes. There is no method of controlling. this trouble, and in many cases it may not cause any direct harm to the trees, accord ing to s. P. Hollister of the Pomology Department at Connecticut Agricul- tural College, Storrs.
 When the temperature rises and the wood thaws out these cracks will dis appear, except for a more or less in- conspicuous line where the crack was.

COAL SHORTAGE FORECAST.

Washington, June "a. - coal

seriously affect other industries is
foreseen by the federal reserve board
in it's review tonight of business, In
dustrial and financial conditions for
May. The situation already is acute
IN, some districts according to the
board, and production in many lines
is being held down.
{ Production of coal Is being cutailed
Chiefly as the result OF the shorta sc
of cars, the board reports. 1t esti-
mated the car supply at mines in the
east at only so per cent OF normal
Labor difficulties. while complicating
the situation. are considered only a
minor cause of reduced coal produce
ton.
/ Efforts of shippers on the Great
Lakes to facilitate movement of coal
by pooling their shipments are re-
garded by the board as only partial
remedy.
In the southwest. according to the
review. many mines are operating
only two-thirds capacity Coal ship
ments to other countries are reported
as light. No reduction of coal prices
is in sight, the board says.
Commenting on the far-reaching
effect of the car shortage and freight
congestion, the reserve board says re-
ports of it's agents indicate that the
transportation tieup is largely the
result Of the railroad strike, which
still continues over large section of
the country" The congestion is fur
Their accumulated, according to the
board. by local strikes of other
groups OF transport workers.
TO relieve the coal shortage In
New England the shipping board is
arranging to allocate sufficient yes-
sells to carry from 100000 to 600, 900
tons of coal month to that section
from Hampton Roads. Baltimore and
Philadelphia. Chairman Benson said
today labor difficulties at the various
ports were not expected to interfere
with the coal movement.
