Show L. C. KARR1CK, FORMER UTAH COAL RESEARCH CHEMIST, NOW IN OHIO L. C. Karrick, a native of Utah and well known in Carbon county mining circles for his efforts to arouse interest in smokeless fuel and coal processing for is now at Nelsonville, Ohio, where he has a commercial coal treating plant, pilot plant being enlarged, processing coal to produce smokeless fuel and extracting oil and He is doing in Ohio just what he could have been doing in Utah several years ago had he been able to interest those who control the great bulk of coal production. His plans were also frustrated by people and corporate interests who their own private axes to An article in the Athens, Ohio, Messenger, written by C. II. Bartlett, contains the following information about Mr. Karrick and his research work in Ohio: This is a coal mining district. It has been a coal mining district for more than a hundred years Most of us, I suspect, would be hropy to have the Hocking Valley continue as an active coal mining district for another hundred years Since last June, L. C. Karrick, chemist and engineer, formerly with the research division of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, who states he is custodian of government patents dealing with the processing of bituminous coal, has been (rind. subjecting local fuels to extensive Nelsonville is 60 miles southeast tests at a laboratory in Nelsonof Columbus, Ohio, and Mr. Kar- ville. rick states that he has made a hasnt been any secrecy deal for use of his 20 patents, abrThere ut his findings.

I suspect it is true that stimulation of two world wars has been necessary to keep the Hocking Valley in the coal business, that without this artificial "shot in the arm," the "ghosts" long since would have taken over. When conditions of a competitive free maiket again prevail in the fuel industry, it surely requires no crystal gazer to see what happens here. It must be obvious that the last war, by long odds the larger of the duo and lasting twice as long, did not revitalize the local coal industry to the extent its predecessor did. It is true that a few operating collieries have continued to dig coal; several new stripping developments have entered the field; a considerable number of miners are currently employed; but it also is true that no deep pits were opened here in the recent war, and some were closed and abandoned; the number of men in-- I voived in production certainly is not much more than one-thithe total employed during the dis tricts lush years of 1910-2- 2, when from 10,000 to 12,000 union cards were reported as held in the old let. Hocking sub-dis- ti T very where local citizens are into jackpots to form industrial foundations," reads an editorial in the current issue of a western newspaper, "but it seems pretty conclusive that the best foundation in the state will not work unless local conditions are right." The possibilities are interesting at least, that here in an area with an ailing basic industry which has been declared defunct 40 times in 40 years, lies the nucleus for the district's most triumphant tossing money Karrick asserts that continued use of virgin coal for fuel is an economic crime. He has and No 7 tested No. 6, No. seams in the local district, and finds no appreciable variation, he states. He is outspoken in his conviction that the processing of these coals is commercially feasible. He is hopeful that some municibe pality with a steam plant will rewards to first reap practical from this development; or in event the public is not interested that Mr. 6-- A, erect a plant private capital may of sufficient size to demonstrate effectively the practical features of this process; or the surplus steam of some existing private plant be made available.

Relatively few cows are fed well enough, though, to produce up to capacity. Thus more immediate results In Increased production can be obtained through better feeding.

The mast important factor Is to provide plenty of feeder space at least one Inch per chick for the first three weeks. Also, cover the litter with three or four layers of newspaper to keep the chicks from eating the litter. Roll off a layer of paper each day. Remove all papers after the third day. 5. Q. Bo hogs become Infected with Brucellosis? Are the symptoms the same as in cattle? A. Hogs do become infected with this disease, although the symptom of abortion is not nearly as prevalent in hogs. A sow may have the disease and not abort. The prevalence of swollen Joints and lameness is an Important symptom In infected swine herds. The herd boar, unlike the bull, is an important carrier and spreader of Brucellosis, and one Infected boar may cause the entire sow herd to become Infected. Another contrast Is that cattle do not usually become infected until at least six months of age, while swine may become infected shortly after BOYS canlie. A lV 1 Shoe-'0- BOYS.
