Researchers Find Use For Refuse Members of two horticul tural research teams from Pennsylvania State Univer sity have found a construc tive use for discarded anthra cite mine refuse banks. The scientists say that a refuse and nutrient combina tion will serve as well as an inexpensive substitute for the two fnilliorT tons of top soil now used annually in greenhouses. Properly treated and crushed coal refuse is rela tively inexpensive, abundant and can be trucked as far away as New York and Balti more for less than the cost of soil, according to estimates. By adding extra light and by balancing moisture levels in the refuse soiless medium, rose yields were increased 60 to 90 per cent above those of flowers grown in a soil mix ture with natural light Esti mates of the cost of installing and operating the supplimen tary lights in conjunction with the anthracite refuse growing medium indicate that the additional income from the first year alone would finance the initial costs.
