GOVERNMENT PLAN
TO DISTRIBUTE COAL
Federal Distributor to Supply Railroads
and States = Governors to Handle
State Supplies.

WASHINGTON, Aug 3.-Govern-
ment plans for distribution of coal dur
ing the existing emergency were an
nounced last night by Fuel Distributor
Spencer after conference with Secretary
Hoover and the central committee ap-
pointed by President Harding.
The federal organization in Washing
ton. he said. will cover the distribution
of available supplies among the rail
ways, federal institutions and states,
while the governors of the states will
handle local supply.
Pending completion of the federal or
ganization, Mr.. Spencer said, three in
termediate stages viii ensue: First, the
continuation of their normal business by
the operators, then priority buyers un-
der the interstate commerce commission
service order No. 23 will gradually en-
croach on operators business, and fl
nalIy, coal orders placed through the fed
eral fuel distributor will absorb the en-
tire output of the mines.
Provision has been made foe the eS-
tablishment of district committees TO
represent the federal distribution admin
istration in the producing fields. with
special arrangements for supplying the
Great Lakes section. Detailed instruc-
tions were drawn up yesterday for the
states. which included the fixing the re
sponsibility for the payment of all coal
shipped into a state upon the governor S
committee
State fuel committees are to report at
once the consumption of coal in their

EXCELLENT CROP
OF HAY HARVESTED
Good Weather and Plenty
of Help Important
Factors M
CORN CROP NOT
AS PROMISING
GOOd Yield Expected, However, If
Frosts Hold on This Is OF Year
for AppIes-Blackberry and Blueberry
Crop Smaller than Usual.

Farmers around Brattleboro who
have taken time by the foreloek are
well on the way toward getting their
barns wen filled with hay On the
whole. the hay crop in general this sum-
mer is very good. The excellence of the
crop is due to two reasons: First,
the fact that the weather along the
middle part of July was unusually good
for haying, and. second. the farmers
have been able to get all the help they
desired this wear.
The kind of weather that the farmer
considers good haying weather is when
the sun pours his hot rays unmerci-
fully down on the tillers of the field
and keeps small rivulets of perspira-
tion trieklng down ones face. Such a
spell occurred during the middle of July
and the farmers who made hay while
the sun shone during that part of the
season are not now regrctting the ef-
forts expended at that time.
There are some farmers who have held
off haying until a late hour, and ii there
should be an abundance of cloudy,
damp weather from now on, these far
mers and the hay viii simply be out of
luck.
Fer the past week or two the wea-
Their has not been as suitable for hay
ing. There have been numerous show
ers and although the Thermometer in
dicated hot weather. it nevertheless was
considerably damp or muggy. Hot and
humid atmosphere is conceded, how
ever, to be unusually good for the grow
ing of garden produce, and the mar
kets this year probably will bear evi-
dence of this fact.
The farmers are of the opinion that
the. corn crop this year win not be as
good as in former years Many were
late in getting seed into the ground, due
to the backward spring. and the growth
necessarily has been held back. but If
the early frosts hold off this season, q
good crop will be harvested.
This is the off year fer apples and
not a large crop is anticipated. Black
berries. of which there were loads and
loads last year. are decidedly IN the
minority this summer. The season for
blueberries is nearly past. and reports
are current that the bushes have not
borne as heavy a crop as usual, so that
the number of neople who spread um.
brellas under the berry bushes and
then shook the limbs vigorously, there,
by filling their quart pals in twink
ling. are few and far between.
