section to operate and to have all such 

 plants transferred there for the winter. 

 Arrangements for this should be made 

 through this office, but it would be of 

 great assistance to us in carrying out 

 this plan if those persons who are 

 affected by this order would endeavor 

 to make these arrangements them- 

 selves, and then apply to this office for 

 the necessary permit." 



WOOD AS SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL 

 Hickory, oak, beech, hard maple, 

 birch, cherry, ash, longleaf pine, lo- 

 cust and such species have high fuel 

 value in comparison with other woods. 

 One cord of any of these when dry 

 and seasoned weighs about 4,000 

 pounds and is the equal in fuel value 

 to about one ton of coal, according to 

 a bulletin on the subject issued by 

 the United States Forest Service. 

 Hickory is the best wood to use for a 

 coal substitute. The oaks come next 

 and are followed in order by beech, 

 birch and maple.
