an enormous crop to move. However, 

 they have been curtailing expenditure 

 and have disintegrated their organiza- 

 tions. They will work this fall with 

 men not trained to speed up the move- 

 ment of goods. Also the railroads have 

 not purchased any new cars or engines. 

 Bather they have permitted equipment 

 to deteriorate. This means that a rec- 

 ord coal tonnage will have to be moved 

 during' both low railroad efficiency and 

 a depleted car supply. This is going to 

 mean a slow movement of coal at a 

 time when tlie demand for it is 

 clamorous. ' ' 



The same reporter, in speaking espe- 

 cially of the market at Chicago, says: 

 "The smokeless market is much 

 stronger this week. Up to now, a great 

 many small concerns decided to specu- 

 late on the absorptive capacity of the 

 €hica},'o market. When they could not 

 sell this coal at circular price they 

 began cutting; $1 per ton was a common 

 figure to accept. In a number of cases 

 they accepted considerably less than $1. 

 These small concerns have cleaned up 

 the coal they had on track and have 

 not begun to bring any more in. Only 

 a couple of companies have any free 

 *oal for sale at cut prices. Standard 

 shippers are finding it easier to dispose 

 of their coal at the circular price. How- 

 ever, they are not moving any increased 

 ■volume. July 1 the circular price on 

 smokeless lump and egg advanced to $2 

 per ton. The demand has been just 

 'air, but the supply has been below nor- 

 mal. For that reason the neiW circular 

 P"ce is being maintained."

ing of tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, 

 the amount of artificial heat actually 

 required in Alabama probably will not 

 be great. For the flow pipe, a 2-inch 

 pipe should be usad and this should be 

 carried overhead, about two feet under 

 the ridge, with a slight fall toward the 

 farther end of the house. The expan- 

 sion tank should hold about ten gallons 

 and should be connected with the high- 

 est part of the flow pipe. It will an- 

 swer if placed just above the pipe, but 

 it is always desirable to have the ex- 

 pansion tank somewhat elevated if 



possible. If the 1-inch pipe is to be 

 used for the returns, ten or twelve 

 should be placed in two coils under the 

 benches, or on the walls. It would be 

 even better to use six 2-inch pipes for 

 the returns. These should be con- 

 nected with the flow at the farther end 

 of the house and should be given a 

 slight fall. F. K.
