CHICAGO. Dec. 14 -(AP)-The Post Office Department tonight ordered a far-reaching embargo on Christmas parcel-post mailings because of the spreading railroad strike that now affects nearly two- thirds of the United states.

The Government, meanwhile, obtained we more Federal court orders aimed at ending the strike, but there were no signs of an early break in the crippling walkout of yard workers at key terminals.

The partial embargo, effective immediately, includes all parcel post. But it will fall most heavily on Christmas , ' . The order means that hundreds of United States post offices will be sharply limited on what parcels they can accept from the public. The order comes at the peak of the Christmas mailing rush.

The strike, which started in Chicago Wednesday. also has hit war shipments. cut steel product-

ion and slowed meat supply move- ments from Chicago to the east.

The yardworkars strike has tied up the mounting volume of Christ- mas mail at many points. Scores of loaded cars are stranded east and west of Chicago and st. Louis.

The aim of the partial embargo is to curb mailing so that enormous quantities of packages will not clog post offices.

The army, which has been run- llllv; the railroads since Aug. 27, red threatened the union with 5 mtempt if the men did not go

.-k to work.

The union already has formally urged its men to return to their jobs. But kesmen say they don't know whether the men will heed the advice. .

Illustration Woodlots Show Profitable Yields

A 20 acre oodlot on an Illustrat- ion Btation perated by Mr. John L. Clark, Rustlco. has yielded 69 cords of fuel wood. 4.720 feet of lumber and two and one half thousand shingles during the period from 1945-49. it was learned yesterday from Mr. N. M. Black, supervisor of Illustration stations.

Dollar and cents value of this woodlot yield was approximately 8730. moi wood is valued at 91 per cord, lumber at 850 a thous- and feet a d Island made shingles between Ive and six dollars a thousand.

This was only part of the yield of the woodlot stated Mr. Black. who particularly emphasised the value of selective cutting. "the woodlot alsomplayed a Vulli l"ola"i:I eonaervln, g a water auppy n a soil. controlling the flow of streams

The trees in one compartment are spot painted by forutera from Fredericton each year and cutout. The whole project is carried on in co-operation with the Dominion Forestry service. Fredericton, N. 3. under the supervision of Mr. Norman Black.
