Including the work completed o' projects still under construction, the States have complet ed work which entitles them to draw on the Federal Treasury for $118,915, 515. There is also a balance allotted but not yet earned on projects now un dcr construction amounting to $66, 375,636. Of the two appropriations which have been made for Federal aid there is now only $18,793,544 remain ing unobligated. Twelve of the States have obligated their entire allotment and several others ho ye only a small amoountI to their credlit. During the last fiscal year the total of completed projects .iumPeed from 1.677 to 7,469 mile's, and the projects under construction incr'easedl from 14', 940 to 17,977 imiles. 'Thme money earn ed by completion of work has grown from $40,097,881 a year ago to $1 18, 915,515 at the end of this fiscal year. Th'le a mouint earned duri,.: thi' year was $78,817,634, or nearly twice as much as the amount earned dluring~ the four' years priecedling. The new projects suibnmittedl during the year b:-ine- the total amount of Federal aid obligate~d up to $247, 956,456, as co~mpared with .$109,830, 366. which was the amount obligated on .June 30, 1920. At this r'ate it is expected that ti e small balance of $18,000,000 still unobligated will be taken up in a vei'y short time. The month of June was a record mont-h in every way. The muileztge of c'om pleted projlees i necaesedl by more than 1.200 miles, more than twice the amount repottd for the month of May. F'unds allotted to work actually undler construction i icreased by $13, 670,925. Tl'IME IIAS ARIRIVED FOR BASEHIAiLL FANS TO WONDER According to the United States De partment of Agi-iculture, "abe" Ruth and his associates who sj. cialize ini walloping the hoisehide out of the baseball grounds may wvell begin to ask what kined of bat they will use when the diminishing supplies of ash imake it less easy foi' them to obtain thiA hithrto favorite mateirial. Dui'ing the last few years several sporting goods factories have attenmptedl to in tiroduce hickoi'y bats as a substitute foir the traditional ash. This has been u nsuc'cessfulI, however, because hick ory, although it possesses greater' .9hock-obsorptive qualities than ash, is toe) heavy. Made in fIve grades ~Al.

When ever a professional player orders a new consignment of bats, this factory is able to refer to the special model desired and to pattern the, new bats ifter that particular design. The bats of the big league players are turned out by hand, great care and skill being employed in their produc tion. The majority of the white ash timb gr used in making b.seball bats is cut -rom farm woodlots and timber tracts in Kentucky, Ohio, and the Lake and Lower Mississippi States. The timb br is cut in the winter, logged, and hauled to the railroad, whence it is transported to the factories, a numb ei of which are located at Louisville, Ky. The ash is cut up in bolt form, each bolt being ultimately converted into a finished bat. After arrival at the factory the bolts are store in cur jng sheds for from several months up to a year,, in order that the wood may season thoroughly. Skilled workmen ultimately work the bolts up into bats for all grades of ball players, from the stars of the big leagues to the sandlot NOTICE OF DISCIIARGE Iwill apply to the Judge of Pro bate for Clarmidon County on the 26th day of September 1921 at 11 o'clock a. m. for Letters of Discharge as Ad ministrator with the Will annexed of the Estnte of S.

Abcording to a standing timber sur vey made by the United States Forest Ser+ice at the request of Congress, predent ash resources aggregate ap proiimately 9,988,000,000 board feet.

The Lower Mississippi States aave about 3,182,000,000 board feet of nsh on the stump at present, much of this supply being old timber.

Obviously if .sh were used solely for the manufacture of baseball bats our leading national game would have no need to concern itself about substi tutes for a long time to come. But the industries which use ash are al ready beginning to find it hard to ob tain high-grade material in suflicient quantities to meet their needs, and its price prior to the' recent slackening in industrial activity rosc rapidly. The entire amount of ash used for sport ing and athletid goods forms a very small part of the yearly consumption of this valuable weod, which possesses properties that give it preemience for several industries.

Ash is unquestionably one of the Woods in connection with which th( effects of forest depletion will earliest be felt in the form of an actual dearth, of material. There are two possible remelldies--to grow more ash, and to resort to substitutes. Already the search for substitutes has begun.
