WOOD BURNING ON
 FARMS IS URGED
Will Be Patriotic Service, Claims State Forester
 HaWeS

Burning of wood in the farm and rural areas of Connecticut during the coming winter months to relieve the demand for coal and fuel oil will not only be patriotic service to the nation but will have definite economic value to the farmer" State Forester Austin F. HaweS said to- day.
 "Use of wood for fuei," Forester Hawes said, means savings of dollars and cents to the farmer. The wood is available on his land and he is at once relieved of the necessity of laying out cash for coal or fuel oil"
 Requested by Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, State Defense Administra- tor, to cause a survey to be made of the wood fuel resources of she State end to take steps to make them available for public use, For ester Hawes has conferred with Floyd Callward, Extension Forester at the University of Connecticut, Edgar L. Hermance, Secretary of the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, William c. Shepard, Forest Products Technician of the State Forestry Department, and Allen Bratton of the New England Forestry Experiment Station at New Haven.
 Immediate cooperation was as- sured by all concerned. Farm Bu- reau agents plan to send bulletins to members and to urge wood as fuel wherever possible.
 In the so-called 1858 hurricane area where much dead wood is still to be gathered, the farmers will face no drying or seasoning pr0b- lem. Farmers will be urged by the Bureau agents to use the fin be- tween time"-the period between paintings or harvesting-to get the wood collected, cut and stored.
 The problem of burning green wood has been studied by the For estry Department and advice on this and demonstrations are plan ned for the annual Agricultural Field Day at Mt. Carmel on August 20. The demonstration will also in-

 At the start of the drive, 1t was thought delivery of the reindeer from Alaska might take place with- in two years, and in le30-3l prepa- rations were made to receive the animals at the reindeer station.
