Lenox, Mass. — The order of the 

 Federal Fuel Administrator relating 

 to curtailing coal for use in green- 

 houses by one-half will have a tre- 

 mendous effect on estates in the Berk- 

 shires. While the loss will be thou- 

 sands of dollars in the value of 

 plants and fruit trees, which will 

 have to be sacrificed where there is 

 no market, it will also mean the re- 

 duction of the number of employees 

 on large properties by one-half or 

 more. A number of the owners of 

 the estates will close their green- 

 houses and discharge their men, al- 

 lowing their large plants to remain 

 idle until times are again normal. In 

 Lenox and Stockbridge, besides the 

 rarest plants and exotics, grapes, 

 figs, peaches, nectarines and melons 

 are grown under glass.
