Forester E V Jotter of the U S Soil Conservation Service in Cambridge says seasoned hardwood is excellent fuel. A cord of wood can equal a ton of coal in heat and can be burned with or without coal. County extension agent Ross Wright urges farmers to supplement coal with wood. Athens County farms have woodland and cut wood in winter for next year.
