Increased Car Service to Lake

Fuel Supply For Winter.
famine IS PREVENTED
Railway Executives and Coal Operators
Agree on Plan To Get Plenty Of
Coal To Lake Ports-l. c. c.
To Issue Orders.

New YOrk-Plans for increased Goa
car service to Lake Erie parts-the
gateways of the Northwest-to pre-
vent all possibility of a winter Goa
famine, were agreed on at a confer
ence here between the Association Of
Railway Executives and the National
Coal association, the latter represent
ing the bituminous industry
The plan will be submitted at once
TO the Interstate Commerce commits
sion for approval and the issuance Of
necessary orders to put it in effect
on all railroads.
While details of the plan will not be
been approved by the Interstate Com.
merce commission, a statement from
the coal operators said the plan will
permit the movement of sufficient coal
to prevent famine in any part of the
country during the coming winter.
At the Washington conference Mr..
Willard of the railroad executives sug-
gested that the Interstate Commerce
Commission issue formal orders to
railroads of the United States to dump
1000 cars of coal day for the North.
west at Lake Erie ports.
BY this method, it is pointed out, the
Northwest will be able to receive the
necessary winter supply of $4,000, 900
tons of coal before the lakes freeze. 1t
will be a matter Of secondary i'm
DOrtance to find boats to bring the coal
from the Erie points to the Head of
the Lakes.
At present, it is said, the movement
of coal from the mines to the shipping
points on Lake Erie is about half nor
NAL. BY the speeding up process, it
was explained, enough coal to prevent
any possibility of famine will be
brought within reach Of consumers of
the Northwest.

"'PLENTY NEXT DOOR"
Record Harvest Predicted for
Canada.

After having made a careful sur
vey Of the wheat producing area OF
the United States, experts whose busi'
ness it is to keep the people Informed
on the acreage sown to foodstufts
state that this year there will be
falling off in the wheat production In
the States, due to a considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion OF these
experts is that the decrease will be
several hundred million bushels OF
wheat less than in previous years,
which according to past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet the
requirements of the demands OF the
people Of this country.
In Canada, however, the situation
is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
were the prospects so encouraging for
q bumper harvest. It is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915, the year Of the
record harvest in Canada, when the
lOtdI wac c"c'c A~'0oO
bushels. Not only is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same is true of oats,
barley and flax. Of which greatly
increased acreage has been sown in
the great grain producing provinces OF
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come at the right time to stimu-
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture in the ground. With
the w,:rla generally facing a shortage
of wheat and continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price is likely to be
maintained ut the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and it is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms in the
early spring have every prospect OF
q crop yield that will give them re-
turn sufficiently large, after paying
all current expenses, to pay off large
part Of their capital investment.
Livestock is in excellent condition
everywhere, the rains having induced
good growth Of grass.-Advertfse-
