SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1939 DAILY NERRASKAN FIVE Mere 7,389,000,000,000 tons of coal left in world Natural resources book has section by Bengtson No immediate concern over the world's coal supply is necessary, according to Dr. N. A. Bengtson, chairman of the geography de partment, because there is an es timated 7 trillion, 389 billion met ric tons of coal available today, most of which is in the United States. Dr. Bengtson, who has written the mineral fuel section of a new book entitled "Our Natural Re sources and Their Conservation." points out that altho some experts believe the present coal supply will last only several hundred years, others estimate that it will prove adequate for several thousand. North America leads. North America, he points out, is credited with nearly five-sevenths of the coal reserves of the world. Asia ranks second with about 17 percent of the total. The north em great plains and the Rocky mountain provinces are believed to hold 60 percent of the total coal supply of the United States, whereas the eastern province con tains about 13 percent and the in terior sections about 12 percent of the total. The university geographer and other experts estimate that while depletion of the original tonnage of coal in the county is less than 1 percent, it is probable that the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania are now 29 percent exhausted. The United States is fortunate, Dr. Bengtson explains, not only in the quantity and quality of its coal reserves, but in their distribution. Every section of the country is within easy reach of some coal Band (Continued from Page 1.) Rheingold," in addition to Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire."
