GARFIELD SOUNDS WARNING.
Better Borrow Money Now to Buy
Than Do Without Later, He Say If
Your Storage Space Isn't Large
Enough, Enlarge It.
By HARRY A. GARFIELD,
United States Fuel Administrator.
Bvery BJJBSHtluldSf, every public util
ity and every industrial MM Of COB
engaged In work essential to th pfOOt
cutlon of the war are en rnest 1$ ad
vised and urged to place, without de
lay their orders for coal to cover their
needs for the 12 months beginning
April 1.
During the put 12 months there has
been suffering among consumers and a
curtailment of essential production hy
industries through Inability to obtain
necessary fuel after the beginning of
winter. A year ago consumers were
led to believe that they might safely
Withhold their orders until later in tho
year. They labored under the Impres
sion that coal could be bought and se
cured as well ut ine time as another.
They were told that there was plenty
of coal for everybody and that there
"jjrouUI be plenty of coal cars to move
tie coal in also.

This advice and Its acceptance by
consumers was one of the contributing
to the en I shortage, with Its
OFJIIE WEST
Famous 44 1733" Ranch Naar
Kearney Will Hum With
Activity.
The "173.1 Hnnch." three miles wet
rtf Kearney, formerly known as "The
Watson Ranch," has long been tho
Fhow place of the wct from a ranch
standpoint. It l. exaetly half way be
tween Hoston and San Francisco, on
the Lincoln Highway and the Union
Pacific railroad. Originally the ranch
contained .'!,(mn acres. A few yenrs
bro It was practically all In alfalfa
and was known throughout the country
as the largest alfalfa field In the world.
LatOT the owner, H. 1). Watson, do
elded to engage In Intensive farming,
and with that end"ln view proceeded to
Improve the ranch property by the
construction of buildings that would
make It the model live slock, poultry
and swine farm of the west if not of
the entire country. What Is believed
to he the largest barn In the United
States was erected, 180x380 feet, threo
Rtorles high In the rear of this barn
Is the world's largest silo. This huge
barn is so erpcted that stock may be
driven In on the ground floor at the
front and hay and farm Implements
taken in on the second floor from the
side entrance. The barn has a hay
storage capacity of more than 6,000
tons.
Scattered over the ranch are porta
ble poultry houses, all built after an
Improved design and all modelR of
their kind. The hog sheds are perma
nent, with concrete floors, and water
Is piped to all poultry houses, swine
sheds and throughout the barn and
feed lots. It was on this rane,h that
the world's most valuable pen of chick
ens was produced, a cockerel and four
hens, sold to Madamo I'aderewgjd for
17,000. "Peggy,1' the most valuable
hen In the world, and whose prize win
nings represented 0 per cent on a cap
italization of $10,000 for a period of
(our years, was produced on this poul

Mr. F. R. Schaaf, president of the
Nebraska Hotel Co., with headquarters
In Lincoln, tins become the owner of
the "1733 Kanch," and will operate it
with a view to supplying tho com
pany's growing chain of hotels with
practically all of the poultry, eggs,
butter, meats, fruits, fresh nnd canned
vegetables and suear needed. With
hotels at Lincoln, Scottsbluff, Colum

several others practically assured, the
Nebraska Hotel Co, is convinced that
it would be OCQnomy as well as good
business Judgment to provide Its own
supplies. With practical men In
charge of- every department of the
splendid ranch property, the hotel
company need no longer worry about
its dally supplies of fresh fruits and
Vegetables, fresh eggs and hutter. nnd
an assured yearly supply of pork and
beef. Some idea of the immense vol

of commodities needed in our war ac
tivities. The Fuel Administration was not
then In existence and did not begin Its
work until August 'J.'l. It wus then al
ready too lute to undo the harm which
had been done. The Fuel Administra
tion would be negligent of Its duty to
the public if it (ailed to call attention
at this time to the utit'ort umite results
of the mistaken course pursued by the
public a year age and to warn nil con
sumers In the most emphatic manner
possible that u repetition of those re
sults Can be avoided only by accept iiiy
and acting Immediately upon the Fuel 1
Administration's ud ice, here given:
Order Your Coal at Once.
Let eveT consumer of the classes
mentioned ascertain his fuel require-1
men:- tor the CfMUing oiir. Do this all
once. Order sufficient coal to meet thorn
requirements. Place your orders el
once, if domestic consumers have not
MUfliciclit Storage spare tor tile cou)
they will need they should enlarge tbeii
bins. If public utilities and Industries
engaged upon government work have
not suftclenl storage, apace they should
at once piO! ide it.
The production of coal in this conn-1
try is fundamentally a transportation
problem. There are i ogh coal ears
ami enough locomotives to transport
th' necessary Quantity of coal, only it
every ear :.i ! , verj locomotive Is used
to mat IIUIU tapudty every dny In
the yen t I'here are enough operatives
In 1 1 i . dues to net the coal from the
pound -t those operatives 'an work
every day in the year and if the coal
ears nnd locomotives are mailable ev
ery day.
The fuel problem is to get the coal
from the first place of deposit to the
final I'laee of deposit with as little dt
lay as i" sslbh
continuous a stream as circumstance
will permit. The railroads may be
gsgspared to a water pipe, which needs
to run full all the time to carry the
Meeeaary amount of water to its dew
tlnat h n. If that water is shut off foi
any appreciable lime it means an ulti
mate shortage. The pipe can carry m
more than Its maximum eapacltv pet
day.
Borrow, if You Must.
Inconvenience of paying (tor coal in
the sprtni summer when it win not
be needed until autumn or Winter
should not Influence any consumer tc

cure it.
Tlie Fuel Administration, through
the State Fuel Administrator and lo
cal committees, is prepared In every
reasonable way to aid public utilities,
essential industries, retail dealers and
domestic consumers in placing their
orders and In securing assurance of a
nfflclent supply of fuel. All these
governmental agencies, however, are
powerless If the consumers themselves
tell to act. Again, therefore, the Fuel
Administration urges every consumer
to place his orders immediately. This
nould ordinarily be done through the
medium of supply upon which the con
earner has relied In the past If this
Is followed It may be hoped
the suffering and loss of the past
winter will not be repeated. If it is
done consumers will have
to blame.
the government's demands and its pri
ority in the markets The Nebraska
Hotel Co. will be independent of the
packers of meats and- vegetables by
reason of producing its own supply. As
the business of the Nebraska Hotel Co
grows the productivity of the "17:13
Ranch" will be Increased.
"We expect to produce every variety
of foodstuff we need, with the excep
tion of tropical fruits, spices, tea and
coffee," said Robert W. Johnston, man
aging director of the Nebraska Hotel
Co. "Best of all. however, we will be
In a position to insure our patrons the
freshest and best in all lines of food
stuffs." The pun base and Improvement of
the "17:13 Ranch" by Mr. Schaaf of the
Nebraska Hotel Co. involves an invest
ment of a quarter of a million dollars
The new owner will work to make the
ranch the greatest show place of the
vvest. and Its value as an advertise
ment of the energy and the productiv
ity of Nebraska can not be estimated
In dollars and cents.
