Greenhouse Heating 



SuBS('RiBB3S are invited to write the 

 editor of this department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. When information 

 is desired regarding the capacity of boil- 

 ers, or the amount of radiation required 

 for a greenhouse, the needed temperatures 

 should be stated in the inquiry, as well 

 as the amount of glass in the side walls, 

 and the dimensions and general arrange- 

 ment of the greenhouses. It is often 

 helpful, also, to have a sketch showing 

 the location of the houses. 



COAL OUTPUT STILL DROPPING. 



The cooler weather of September has 

 brought no improvement in the soft coal 

 market and consequently production, al- 

 ready dangerously low, slumped still 

 farther. It is feared that when the 

 temperature falls to the point that con- 

 sumers must make their purchases and 

 reopening factories add to the demand, 

 there will be a sharp rise in price, accom- 

 panied by a shortage that may prove 

 disastrous to those whose bins are now 



empty. 



Soft coal production went down again 

 during the week ended September 3. 

 The total output is placed at 7,571,000 

 net tons, a decrease compared with the 

 week preceding of 200,000 tons. The fol- 

 lowing week, ended September 10, a 

 still further drop, to 7,035,000 net tons, 

 was recorded. 



Production of bituminous averaged 

 1 279,000 tons in the twenty-seven work- 

 ing days of August, and the total output 

 for the month is placed at 34,538,000 

 tons. Although an increase of 4,lu3,000 

 tons over July, this was far below nor- 

 mal for August. In the eight years 

 preceding, the period over which rec- 

 ords of monthly output extend, the low- 

 est figure for August occurred in 1914. 

 Yet that month showed 37,751,000 tons, 

 or 3,213,000 tons more than August, 



1920. 



If the remaining four months of 1921 

 vield no greater output than the first 

 "eight months, the total for the year will 

 be less than 400,000,000 tons. The last 

 year in which the country required less 

 than 400,000,000 tons was 1909.
