SOUTH HOLDS KEY
 II NATIONS FARM. SITUATION TODAY.
Cotton May Be Leading Crop of Country, While Eu- rope Needs Less
 Grain

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The south is regarded by the department of ag- riculture as holding the key to the American agriculture situation in which spirit of moderate optim- ism" prevails, according to the monthly review.
 If continental Europe materially cuts down purchases of our wheat and pork this year." the department says, "cotton may become something of key crop. We'll informed men consider that another billion dollar cash crop in the cotton belt would go a long way to offset failing Euro pean market for wheat and meat The south is optimistic and plainly in tends to plant more cotton"
 Cotton and wool now head the list of important products in purchasing g power unit. and prices are believed by the department to be high enough to maintain production of important products this year with the possible exception of potatoes.
 The January general index of pur- chasing power of farm products in terms of other commodities as work ed out by the department stood un- changed at 6S last month.

SENATE BODY NOW. MAKING STUDY IF LUMBER INDUSTRY
Resources of Nation Will Be Carefully Investigated by Committee Headed
 by McNary

WASHINGTON. March "A na- tional policy to conserve and develop American timber supplies was urged today by Secretary Wallace of the departmen of agriculture and Hugh B. Baker, secretary of the American Paper and Pulp association, in open hearings of the special Senate com mittee on reforestra ton.
 A few witnesses will be heard here by the committee during the next few days and next month it will be- gin a tour of virtually all timber re- gions of the country to make ex haustive investigations preliminary to recommendations to Congress.
 A graphic view of the nations tim Der and lumber supply was given by Secretary Wallace to the committee which is headed by Senator MeNary, republican, Oregon.
 The annual consumption, he said, was 22,500. 100000 cubic feet, while losses from fire were 2,50o 100000 cubic feet.
 The annual growth. he estimated at 5000, ,S000 900 cubic feet.
 Rising lumber prices have fol- lowed this decrease in national SUD- ply, he said, citing the increased cost of lumber products as the sources of supply moved from the east to the south and west. In the east, he said, one-half of the increased cost of lum- Der products was due to the depletion of the eastern supply.

NATIONS COAL BIN IS| NOW WELL SUPPLIED
Despite Strike and Rail Difficulties,
 Situation Reported Good

WASHINGTON, March 7.--In spite of the long strike of coal miners during 1922 and transportation diff culties which were encountered fol- lowing it's conclusion and during the winter, the national situation as to coal supply is now good, according to a summary of reports from mining districts issued today by the National Coal association. Almost without exception, the coal association de- clared, the great producing districts are turning out sufficient fuel to meet current demands, and where any shortages exist, they are not of serious moment, and exist only be- cause of inability of railroads to fur nish sufficient cars.
 Out of several districts in Ohio, the Pittsburg vein was said to be the only one to which a demand in eX- cess of supply was being directed and there even the balance of supply and demand was close to being reached. In Illinois mines in all dis tricts were said to be operating on part time basis on account of quiet markets. Throughout Indiana. con gestion on the railroads was said to occasioning delay in deliveries, but shortage conditions were not re- ported.
 In the Pittsburg district of Penn sylvania, both rail and mine facilities were said to be ample to meet de- mand. but in some other districts a better car supply was needed. Throughout West Virginia reporting mine operators declared railroad services was far from being ade- quate.
 From Kentucky, Alabama and Ten nessees and from the mining terri tory west of the Mississippi, all re- ports indicated that demands for coal were being supplied, with the mines generally in position to furnish more tha nwas being sought.
