WOOD VS. THE COAL SHORTAGE 



That the forest land of New York 

 might produce sufficient wood to relieve 

 a restriction in coal distribution is one of 

 the possibilities in supplying substitutes 

 for coal in case of a coal shortage. 



Foresters at the New York State College 

 of Forestry state that there are four 

 million acres of woodlots on the farms in 

 New York capable of producing vast 

 quantities of fuel wcod. Many farmers 

 already obtain their own fuel from these 

 forests and place considerable quantities 

 on the market. 



But in the event of high prices for 

 coal, according to the forestry experts, a 

 new demand for fire wood in rural com- 

 munities, towns and villages of up-state 

 cities would be developed. 



A cord of hardwood is estimated to 



contain about as many heating units as 

 a ton of coal. Wood-fuel, however, is 

 neither plentiful nor cheap, because none 

 of the twelve million acres of forest land 

 of New York, excepting a few infinitesi- 

 mal parcels, is under a working forest 

 management and never has been and is 

 largely non-productive on that account. 



Owners everywhere are able to obtain 

 high prices for wood. Twelve to fourteen 

 dollars a cord was paid for fuel wood 

 last year. If twenty-five per cent of the 

 forest land of New York was producing 

 a maximum yield of timber as it would 

 under proper forest management, and as 

 they are doing in Europe, New York 

 would have an available supply at reason- 

 able prices to home consumers, sufficient 

 in quantity to materially relieve any 

 temporary coal shortage. 



Help Her to Save 

 More Lives 



T AST year over 100,000 lives were saved with the 

 - ' aid of Tuberculosis Christmas Seals. Tubercu- 

 losis is being controlled. The death rate has been 

 cut in half. If you and others join the fight, it can 

 be stamped out. 



Buy Christmas Seals. When you see someone selling 

 them, help the fight along by buying all 

 you can. Your help, the help of every 

 happy, healthy person, is needed; and 

 it will count.
