Show VeJnesday, August 22, 1951 Coal Progress During fho Last One Half Century For every ton of coal that was mined in this country 50 years coal ago, todays one-ha- lf two and industry produces tons. But that fact, impressive as it is, does not tell the whole story of coal progress by a long shot. By comparison with 1900, the quality of the coal we use has been vastly improved. The industry has devised scientific new ways to clean and treat, and to actually manufacture it to meet the specialized needs of homes and factories. Moreover, coal and other, industries have cooperated in research to develop highly efficient furnaces which get the maximum possible value out of each ton of coal burned. To take one outstanding example, the coal which is now used in modern electric generating plants produces almost seven times as much energy per ton as did the coal of 50 years ago. This remarkable progress has been the Result of the better coal which the industry now markets combined with great advancement in the equipment which burns it. U Most of us probably think that i 1 coal is just coal and that it hasnt fjjundergone any particular change ' Isince time began. But that simply I true. It may look about the j isnt same, hut theres all the difference I in the world in its quality. The millions industry has spent many of dollars to develop better grades of coal and to help find better ways to use It. This kind of research is a vital part of the industrys operations. It is one of the fruits of a competitive system of doing things which makes each operator try to outdo all the others. Coal has kept up with the times. - 1 THE DRAGERTON TRIBUNE Pare Sharon Stoddard returned from a three weeks visit to Idaho on Tuesday evening, August 21.
