New Low Record ; For Coal is Reported L Washington, Dec 28. Coal produc tlon declined again and established a new low record for this season of the year 1n the week ended December 17, according to data compiled by the Geological Survey. The total output of bituminous coal was 7,048,000 net tons, and the average working day, 1,174,000 tuna The former lowest dally aver age In any December of the last eight years, the period over which records of current output extend, was 1,870,000 hums lo 1114. "Expressing .the same Idea in differ ent form, it may be noted that the present production Is at the rate of 862 000.000 tons a year," says a Geo logical Survey statement issued today, "the latest year in which the country's needj were met with so small an amount waa 108. This tact is the more extraordinary when it is retneanbe that December Is ordinarily a month of maximum ' output, and that the cities normal requirements have In creased by 17e.000.00O tons sines 1108. The lake season is over, and the country's seaborne, export trade is very dull. But these facts alon do wet ao- count for the decrease in output. It Is evident that ooal 4s flowing eapldly out of storage, for T.tOO.000 tons week is Insufficient to meet current consumption.''

County Shows Healthy Improve ment In Cream Shipping Cream shipping, a very important and substantial industry in the agri cultural life of any community, shows a very healthy and promising condi tion in the county to-day. We have grown in the past three years from a small number of less than two score until to-day there are approximately 250 cream shippers in the county. This means there are 250 families receiving a steady weekly cash Income, bookies . they are laying the foundation for a more prosperous and permanent agri culture through the growing of more and better live stock and the Judicial uso of the manure. - It is of the first factor that 1 wish to epeatr at this time. - Although we .have gained progress In the number of persons shipping cream, have we properly taken care of : the improvement in the type of cows we are milking. Generally speak ing it takes the same amount of feed. care and barn room for a scrub cow producing one or two gallons of milk per day, that it takes to maintain a well bred and high producing cow pro-r. duclng four g&llons a day. If this be true and. I think it Is, then aren't we Justified In having more invested In the better cow, and having a less num ber of cows. - At the same time we have raised the standard of the but terfat content as well as produced more cream. We will then be in a po sition to improve the type of cows and build a pure bred herd for the future. We "now have-some-aa good sires of dairy type in the county as can be se cured anywhere and this ought to en ooucage 'the use of better cows. - Juet 'at- this time in the depression.- of most buslhess of farming is the log ical time to buy these cows as they can be secured at reasonable prices. Now la the time to buy pure bred cat tle at scrub prices. Would you as a cream shipper like to start a movement to introduce bet ter cows into the county, would you like to assist In some form or other iof co-operative effort to get' these cows? Probably we could get the banks to as sist in getting them. If you are inter ested please let me hear from you by letter. In person or any way else Just so we get together. It is high time ws were doing something and it Is my desire to be of all the help I possibly caa and I am anxious to assist along this line and I believe we can accomp lish something; .if we will only express - a desire to try and go after it hard enoatrh. . -Please let me hear from vnu by letter with any suggestions aa to, plana, -etc, that you may have. ; Tours truly,. .
