Greenhouse vegetable growers in 

 and near Cleveland were recently 

 saved from disaster, when sixty car- 

 loads of coal were turned over to the 

 Cleveland fuel administration for 

 their use. Action taken by H. H. 

 Johnson, Ohio fuel administrator, en- 

 abled local coal companies to sell 

 large quantities to greenhouses. 

 Nearly all the growing vegetables in 

 this section were threatened with de- 

 struction when the needed relief ar- 

 rived.
