In commenting on the commission's ordor and the difficulty in getting contract coil u-da, Mr. 'Dibos faaid: . "In the month of April of this jrnr t!lt? coal operators of the Sou'hern IIIUwia fields, meaning Franklin county, Cartervillc and Harrisburg coal district came to the retailer and offered contracts at a very reasonable figure and many of the retailers placed contracts on this coal which for the last fewyears has been the standard coal for this district. The operators gave the dealer to understand that they (the operators) were only contracting up about forty per cent of their e.vrecttd output of coal for the coming coal year, April to April. If the retailer had received 100 per cent of his contract on these coals there would have been no high priced, coal to the consumer, but in most cases the retailer ro!vtd only 23 to 33 per cent cf the coal contracted for, forcing him to go on the open market for the most of his coal. This meant and still at this date means, coal from J5-00 to $S50, this price at thrj mines. Government statistics showthat 51,000,000 tons more of bituminous j coal were minri up to October 1st of this year than was mined Jn the same period last ear. Where does the reta.iTrs ei.Ua 75 rer cent of contract coal go? "lou can buy all of the so ca!d spot market coal at JT.jO and $S."'ti you want today and you cm Id at any time during the summer, but just tty and squeeze a car of contract (low priced) coal out of a shipper.

The v heat belt of Kansay faces a loss of $15,000,000 on tliis year's creeps unless the federal government takes some prompt action to protect farmers against decreasing prices, according to Prof. S. 1. Salmon, production expert and professor of crops at Kansas Agricultural college. Vrot. Salmon today i.'vued a warning to the country that, unless conditions pre remedied before next spring the 1921 wheat crop will be far below normal. He declared farmers will cut tl eir production of wheat almost in half by planting; other crops in tiie v heat fields because of losses sustained in the ralsini? of wheat. "It costs the farmer at least $2 a bt.shel to raise his wheat crop and 90 per cent of the Kansas yield is sole! at local prices which are from 30 to 50 tents below the Kansas City cacfh market. This means that the prices range from $1.50 to $1 SO a bu;-hcl on the farm and the farmers who sell lose from 20 to f0 cents on every bushel he rriises," he said.
