RIVE Tn The Cotton Belt.

AS a crop for the cotton belt,
rye may be used to advantage IN
many sections. 1t can be used as
a winter cover crop, a winter
grazing crop, or az a seed crop
The straw is also valuable for
several purposes. Rye is adapt
ed to larger areas than wheat,
being better suited to sandy
soils. 1t stands cold weather
better than oats. The grain OF
rye can usually be sold at the
larger markets, but unless the
grower produces a carload ship
ment, it usually can not be sen
to these markets with profit. bye
grain can be used for stock feed
ing, but it is not very satisfactor.
for this purpose except as a fee
for hogs.
The machinery used for oats
barley, or wheat is suitable TO
handling rye, but if these crop
also are not grown the prope
machinery will have to be provid
ed either by the grower or b
some one in the community.

RAILROADS APPEAL

The Common Carriers Ask TOR Re'
lief-Presldent Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to

Attention Of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee OF railroad execu'
tlves, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumpuli'
representing thirty-fve of the Leading
railroad systems Of the nation, recent
" presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the dill
ficulties now confronting the railroads
Of the country and asking for the CO.
operation of the governmental autnorl'
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer'
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted In general
depression of business on the Amer.
can continent and In the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum Is q
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perlls
that must ultimately attend such q
confederation when the flames meet
Is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting Independently Of each other, as
well as through the action of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses In
recent years have vastly Increased
No criticism Is here made Of the gen
eral theory of governmental reyula
ton, but on the other hand, no IN
genuity can relieve the carriers OF ex
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum Of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement Of plail
. truth" The president recognizin1
? the emergency as extraordinary, cor
/. tinuing, said in part:
l "You ask me to call the attentio
5 Of the country to the imperative nee
t that railway credits be sustained an
> the railroads helped in every possibl
o way, whether by private co-operativ
/. effort or by the action, Whereve
feasible of governmental agencies, an
l am glad to do so because l thin
t the need very real"
q The conference was certainly
<. fortunate one for the nation and Il
Is president is to be congratulated Il
i. opening the gate to a new world

No exact estimate of the loss was
possible until later but it was certain
to run into hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars.
When the firemen were driven back
from the docks by the spread of the
flames, several dwellings in the vicin-
ity caught fire and the fight was
transferred to the crowded streets
along the water front. On the water

carried the flames among the ship

soon afire. The fire boats were
forced to draw away and leave the

When the fire was finally got under

RAINEY's ACTION IS
RESENTED BY CANDY
Says Congressman Did Injustice In
Intimating Any Taking In Arg
entIne Corn Deals.

| Chicago Tribune: A Washington
dispatch in the Tribune yesterday an
nounced that Congressman Rainey hat
addressed letters to The officials Of
the Chicago board Of trade demanding
that they start an investigation Of
Argentine corn deals and that II they
find the deals were not made in good
faith the members concerned should
be expelled.
This announcement brought from
President c. H. Candy Of the board Of
trade statement in which he says
the intimation Of taking IN Argentine
corn deals here does the board Of
trade a great injustice.
THE members Of the Chicago board
OF trade" Mr.. Candy says, have not
at any time made any fictitious pur
chases or sales OF Argentine corn OF
any other product Of this or any other
country.
ANY statement 20 the contrary is
without foundation in fact, as can
easily be demonstrated to the salts
faction of any one who will take the
trouble to make an Investigation.
"Mr. Rainey is misinformed as to
the facts. If the government desires
to stop the shipment of corn from
foreign countries to the United States
it is an easy matter to do so-but no
