Mar. 23 ttJ.PJ Rapid and radical modernization is needed to get the ailing coal industry back on its feet. Government experts and pro ducers agree on the need for even more progressive mining and distribution methods than the industry has developed in the past few decades. Competition from cheaper, less bulk and relatively "labor less" fuels have coal on the de fensive. Economists look for coal's market position to continue downward this year. Same Product One economist says flatly that coal in its present unwieldly and expensive form can never re capture markets from oil and natural gas because "the indus try is putting the same product into the market as it did when the first ton was mined." His long-range solution is con version directed into gas, liquid or electric power as coal is min ed or even without taking it from the ground. Bureau of mines experiments already have shown that this soon will oe feasible. Transportation and storage costs could be eliminated by im mediate conversion, along with middlemen fees which add even more to the consumer's bill. Operators prefer to confine their attention to more immedi ate problems. How. to wipe out last year's financial losses? How to attract new venture capital to pay for improved techniques? They disagree publicly at least with the notion that the industry is flat on its back. Point To Strides They point to strides in me chanization, increased maiviauai productivity by the mines, and production tailor-made to con sumers' specifications for qual ity and size. One of the industry's biggest bogies appears to be fear of na mack. I Hear You Calling Me Stuart, The Thread That Runs so True; Chapman, The Jungle is Neutral: Costain, The Pageant of England, vol.

That is one reason for their opposition to president Truman's proposal tor a coal lact-tincung commission to make an exhaus tive study of what the chief ex ecutive calls a "sick" industry. They fear this might be a step toward more government control. They say that with "free col lective bargaining" which would permit them to regulate costs and more technological pro gress they will be ready to take on any competition. Competition To Grow They admit privately, too, that competition will grow from with in the industry itself as com panies race each other for fewer customers. The immediate future will see less coal sold on contract and more on the open market. Many contracts are expiring now and tne producers concede tney win be hard to renew. But the synthetics program is moving ahead, despite tempor ary abandonment of the indus try's most ambitious private pro ject in the field. Early this year the world's largest commercial producer, George H. Love's Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Co., called off a multi-million dollar project at Library, Pa., for making gas and gasoline lrom coal. Love save as reasons strikes by the united mine workeres, which made supplies "unreli able," and the difficulty of find ing new investors. However, other industry re search programs, notably those carried on jointly with tne gov ernment, are being intensified. Unmined Coal Burned At Gorgas, Ala., the bureau of mines is experimenting with burning unmined coal under "controlled conditions" to pro duce gases that will offer low- cost fuel for generating electric power, At Louisiana, Mo., the bureau is working on coal hydro-gena- tion for the production of gaso line and valuable industrial chemcials. The urgency of the synthetic programs is underlined Dy tne fact that coal accounts for 95.5 per cent of our entire known fuel reserve. Put another way, coal supplies are practically unlimited 1,000 years is a conservative guess while known reserves of oil and natural eas would last only 12 and 15 years, respectively, if used at the present rate and new fields were not found. However, the discovery of new oil and gas deposits is keeping pace with consumption.

Guests Named Out of slate guests will include One of I Ws state 4-H Club forestry champions and a local" club advisor examine young pines that started him out on a forestry career, Four-H forestry lessons will later pay dividends in regular cash crops harvested on well-managed farm uoodlots. As an incentive to local farm boys and girls to turn their wood lots and small timber tract into money-making properties, four college scholarships of $300 each are being offered again this year in the 4-H Club forestry project. All 4-H Club members, working under Exten sion Service supervision and enrolled during the current year in a 4-H Club forestry project, are eligible to? compete for national awards. A i in previous years, top awards will be nude on a sectional basis to the boy or girl having the best forestry record in each $i the four Eitension Service sections of the Nation. In ad dition pa the scholarships, national win ners will be given all -expense-paid trips to the 29th National 4-H Club Con gress to be held in Chicago, November 2(5-30 inclusive. Medals will be awarded to each state winner. This is the third consecutive year American Forest Products Industries, a national non-profit association of wood-dependent industries, has spon sored the 4-H Club forestry project. In the past two years' competition, eight of the college scholarships and free trips have been won by farm youths from the states of Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Montana, New York and Wisconsin, the latter two states having had national winners both yean. "It is most gratifying to see the up surge of interest in forestry that U being shown by 4-H Club memben everywhere, declared Charles A. Gil lett, managing director of American Forest Products Industries, in announc ing the association's continuing spon sorship of the scholarship awards for 1950. "These young people are learn ing the basic fundamentals of sound timber management and how to apply them to the farm woodlots of Amer ica. Certainly this assures an even greater progress in private forest man agement in the next half century and an ever increasing wood supply for this Nation and the world." The local county extension agent will supply detailed information about the 4-H forestry project and the 1910 awards awaiting those boys and girls who excel in forestry.
