THE ROLE OF COAL

1t is probably safe to say that not
one person in 10000 would ever
think that paralysis of the coal i'll
dustry could seriously affect world
peacec. 1t has remained for Daggett
Howard, administrative executive of
the Rosenman Mission, which was
sent by our government to explore
the economic problems of the liberat-
ed areas of Northw estern Europe, to
point out that coal is the most criti-
cally short commodity in that part
of the world. Not only is the needed
supply of coal as important as the
supply or food, said Mr.. Howard, but
as a pivotal product it is essential
for the movement of almost all foe Is
and the processing of many of them,
and the danger of famine conditions
and disease will be greatly increased
unless an ample supply OF coal is
made available in distressed locali-
ties.
Coal is the key to industrial recov-
cry in the devastated areas and
without sufficient stocks, industry
will remain Frustrated. This viii
mean continued widespread unem-
ployment and the economic and other
disturbances that will accompany it..
Top priorities are being afforded
by the governments of liberated
countries, said Mr.. Howard, for the
transportation of coal and mining
equipment. Extra food is being given
to coal miners.
Coal is yet to play as vital palr
in winning the peace as it did in win
ming the war.

FARM REAL ESTATE VALUES ON
INCREASE IN MARYLAND

Farm real estate values in Mary
land have increased SO per cent since
the pre-war gears 1859, reports
Dr.. S. Fl. DeVault, head of the de-
partment of agricultural economics
and marketing at the University of
Maryland. The present level of farm
real estate values in the state is 10
per cent below the peak reached in
the first World War. But they are
increasing by about one per cent per
month, with about one more year to
go to be comparable with the same
period during the first World War.
Forces tending to favor increased
land values, DeVault explains, are
low interest rates from alternative
investments, purchase of farms as a
hedge against imitation, high farm
commodity prices, and accu inhalation
If liquid funds at the disposal of far
mers and others.
Prospective farm purchasers need
to be well informed on land values,
productivity of the land, soil types,
condition, usefulness and adequacy
of farm buildings and adaptable farm
enterprises. They should avail them
selves of competent land appraisal
service before they buy. Both credit
and appraisal value should be based
upon normal yields and normal
prices.
Prospective farmers with little or
no farm experience will generally be
better off if they postpone the pur-
chase of farms until they have ac-
quired experience as farm tenants or
laborers, the University specialist
warns.
When land values have risen I'M
duly farmers will generally be better
off to postpone the purchase of their
farms and use their accumulated saw
ings to retire debts, purchase war
bonds, improve the farm and farm
plant, and build up cash reserves.
Encouragement should be given to
the transfer of farms to bona fide
farmers rather than to land specula-
tors, DeVault states.

THE FIGHT AGAINST POLLUTION

The work of the true sportsman
and conservationist never ends APP
parently there always is something
to be done in our communities, coun-
ties or states to improve fishing,
bring about better game conditions.
correct abuses, or make our streams.
and lakes more suitable for all forms
of outdoor recreation.
This thought came to mind today
when l took stock of the valiant fight
being made by the Izaak Walton
League to get the bills against water
pollution passed in Congress. The
campaign is highly commendable for
few things are so fundamentally nee
essary in our lives as clean streams
and lakes. Without them, we would
have no real outdoors.
The Izaak Walton League Is sup
porting H. r. $40 introduced BY
Congressman Karl e. Mundt and
companion bill S. 535 by Senator
Francis j. Myers, which provide fed
eral control of water pollution. These
bills are strong yet considerate of the
polluters when you stop to think OF
what some of them have done in this
country. The provisions of the bills
are liberal, granting from two to five
years to clean up pollution.
urge readers, conservati o n
groups and sportsmen's clubs to
write their representatives and Sem
ators in behalf of these bills. Here Is
the chance to do your part in the OBJ
jective that should be in front of all
of us-cleaning up the streams
which means better outdoors, bet
ter chance for the kids to swim in
clean water and better fishing in the
years to come.

"sEEDs FOR THE WORLD"

"It has been a series of adven-
lures to deal with the wartime
problems of Seeds for the World,
says w. A. Wheeler, of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, writing on
that topic.
Ever since World War l the United
States has been growing more OF its
own vegetable seeds than it did be-
fore. Butt the requirements of the
United Nations forced U. S. growers
to make phenomenal efforts" What
they achieved appears in few of
Wheeler's comparisons.
''In prewar years the average g.
year production of the large seeded
egetables-peas, beans and sweet
corn-was about 100 million pounds.
In 1943 and 1914 the average was
nearly 500 million pounds. The g.
year average production of small
vegetables seeds was formerly about
10 million pounds; the 1914 produc-
ton was more than 35 million
pounds. The four leading biennial
seed crops, beets, cabbage, carrots
and onions, in 1914 showed produc-
ton of nearly " times the prewar
average.

''The terrible destruction brought
about by the war, not only in Manila
but throughout the provinces, has
caused untold hardships and suffer-
ing throughout the Islands," says DR..
Ernest E. Tuck, superintendent of
the Methodist church in the Philip
pines, recently returned to America
from internment by the Japanese.
In Manila and other congested areas
the chief need is for food and shelter
while in the provinces the greatest
need is for clothing. Medicines are
also greatly needed in all SECTIONS.
The Army and the Red Cross are do
ing splendid job but of course they
cannot reach more than a small per-
cent of the total needy. Money, tropi-
cal clothing material, food and medi-
cines are desperately needed now.
Our church people, including pastors,
deaconesses and laymen have suffer-
ed along with the rest. Burning, loot
ing, bombing and sheer wanton de-
struction have created a desperate
situation and help sent now will
bring relief and hope to crushed and
confused lives"

HAY Is SUBJECT
TO SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION

Fires occur every year from hay
that is incompletely cured at time of
storage-that Is, having moisture
content of over rs to 80 per cecnt,
according to Ray w. Carpenter, ag-
ricultural engineer at TIE University
of Maryland. All hay that is not
completely cured at time of storage
is subject to spontaneous combus-
ton.
A practical method used by far
mers to test for moisture is to twist d
wisp of hay in the hands, he states.
If the twisted hay is tough and tnele
is evidence of moisture where the
stems are broken, the hay is too sap
ply for safe storage. If the stems are
slightly brittle and there is no evil
dence of moisture when they are
twisted, the hay can be stored with
out danger of spoiage. Sailing can
not be relied upon as safeguard
against spontaneous ignition, he
says.
Where hot spots or pockets are
suspected, they may be located by
means Of a thermometer probe thai
can be made at home, Mr.. Carpenter
advises. A glass thermometer with &
range up to at least zig degrees F.
is imbedded in groove cut in the
side and near one end of wooden rod
about n inch square. The thermome
ter is held in the groove by several
turns of electricians friction tape.
Ike end of the stick below the Their
mometer is sharpened.
Mr.. Carpenter gives the following
chart of danger points:
$50 degrees-entering the danger
zone. Temperatures up to this point
are not abnormal, although above
125 degrees is unusual.
100 degrees-time to take notice
If you have an automatic tempera-
ture alarm, it will sound, giving time
to make preparations for removing
the hay, if you act promptly
ITO degrees-maintain constant
vigilance and take temperatures per-
iodically.
IT'S degrees-Above this point
keep all doors and other openings
closed to prevent formation of drafts.
$50 degrees-call your fire chief,
and make immediate provision for
standby service. Also. notify your
insurance agent, who will be glad to
cooperate and may make arrange
ment for additional protective SER
vice.
100 degrees-Remove hay rapidly
to safe distance. While there is evil
dence that hay may heat ii point
several degrees above 200 degrees
without ignition, caution and safety
require it's removal under suitable
fire department protection if this aid
is possible. Remove animals and tools
before touching the hay.
Mr.. Carpenter warns that mows
which have heated to a considerable
degree are dangerous to walk on as
workmen may drop into a burning
pocket. Long planks must be used if
necessary to enter the NOV.

A resolution calling upon the Uni
ted States government to withdraw
it's recognition from the Spanish re-
gime of General Francisco Franco
because of Its long record of active
and practical cooperation with the
Nazi regime in Germany" has been
forwarded to officials in Washington,
D. c., by the Board of Missions and
Church Extension of the Methodist
Church. The resolution was introduce
ed at the meeting of the Boards ex-
ecutive committee by Bishop Lewis
o. Hartman, of Boston, Mass. Bishop
Hartman is chairman of the Ameri-
can Committee for Spanish Freedom.
The resolution was in line with the
action of the United Nations Confer
ence Commission on General Princi-
pies which received and approved a
from the Mexican delegation
that Spain be debarred from member
ship in the New World Organization
as long as the regime of General
Francisco Franco is in power.
