It is not yet too late to plant and they will do well if planted any time within the next thirty days, but the sooner the better as soil conditions are very favorable for beet planting at this time. 1 j 1925. This is going to be a good year to raise sugar beets because the price of sugar has reached the low point and is gradually increasing, also the consumption is increasing, and indicatons are that the world production in 1926 will not be any larger than 1925. Also, Cuba is considering reducing her production 10 per cent. Sugar beets are not a gamble and we would suggest you be on the safe side and plant some beets as this looks like a year for larger tonnage and better prices.

The title of safety service director of the United States bureau of mines has been abolished, following the resignation uf Dr. T. T. Read. Dr. It. K. Sayers, chief surgeon, has been placed in teniMirary charge of the safety work of the organization with the title of acting chief engineer. Production has been stopjH-- at six of the largest mines in Belmont and Jefferson counties, ()., throwing one thousand eight hundred union men out of employment. More than fourteen in the Pittsburg, I'a., district have suspended operations during the lust few days. Approximately seven thousand nien have been made idle. Ret ween January 1, 19(10, and February 18, 1020, six hundred and days of general strike have been recorded in the anthracite industry, equivalent to almost 7 per cent of the total I'lajised time. This docs not include the soenlled vacation strikes of 1020, nor any of the numerous "button strikes and the other illegal walkouts. The anthracite roal service, maintained by the anthracite operators conference, Philadelphia, is now providing h course in combustion fundamentals, including valuable information and farts for the retail coal so that they may arm themselves with ronvincing arguments to be used in its sale in the face of oil nml coke competition. Representative Treadway has introduced a bill in the house of congress which would regulate the sale and distribution of coal in the District of Columbia and require a license from any ierson, firm or corporation selling or offering for sale, eoul. It has been referred to the recently constituted Citizens' Advisory council, which body has disapproved the measure. Coal exports in Grent Rritian during March totaled 4,702,53(1 tons, as compared with 4,340,005 in February, anil 4,148,043 in January. The volume of exports for the first three months exceeds (hat of last year, but the value is nearly two million )Mund less. The per ton vnlue of exports during tlio first quarter of last yenr was 21s. IdL against 18s. 3d. this year. As each side is rautious and equally eager to avoid a strike in England today; April 30th, no definite stands have lu'en taken by the oMrators or miners the last few weeks.

The bureau is favorable to the suggestions. It is proposed that reiorts be on a voluntary basis only without necessity of additional legislation. Rernard Xewren, superintendent of the Scofield Coal company, was a lrice visitor last Monday after a trip over to Columbia his first visit over there and which he pronounces a won-deul ramp.

America, with PROVO, April only 6 per cent of the worlds population, consumes 37 per eent of the worlds coal production, but even at the present rate of production, there is enough estimated in America to last four thousand years, according to Franklin Y. Oates, instructor in the rhnnistry department of the Brigham Young University, who gave a paper on the "World's Fuel Supply before the regular biweekly meeting of the Science club of that institution a few evenings ago. Of the more than seven trillion tons estimated as accessible in the earth's crust, America has more than five trillion tons, or alxrat 68 er rent, according to Gates. Europe ranks next to us, followed by Asia. World production has risen from seven hundred million tons in 1900 to twelve hundred million tons in 1920. America is the leading producer with Europe coming next. At the present rate Great Rritain estimates she has enough coal to last six hundred years. On Way to Russia. PITTSBURG. Kan., April 27.
