REELFooT LEvEE Is
NOW IN GOOD SHAPE.

The Bondurant Construction ca
completed last Thursday the work
of raising and reinforcing the
Reelfoot leycc TO comply with the
1914 grade. The completion of
this work puts the Reelfoot line
IN splendid shape aud should cas-
lily withstand any water like
that of 1912 and 1913. II viii
be remembered that this line
broke in 1912, flooding thousands
of acres, and was barely held in
1913 by heoric work.
Land owners of the bottoms
made possible this enlargement
by guaranteeing the contract
price ON the acreage assessment
basis. II is certainly money wei
spent.

THE GROWING OF COTTON
AND OTHER CROPS

One Of the Courier's good
friends calls our attention TO a
comparison of cotton and truck
prices for 1915, adding that the
agitation in favor OF trucking
was putting the farmer ON a cold
trail. 1t does look so TODAY.
We must admit that cotton is the
bully crop and truck did not do
much in the initial experiment
he wins thumbs down" PeO-
pie must always eat,-as well as
wear clothes. A comparison of
bank books Of the truck farmers
and cotton grower On Dec. 81,
1914, fairly justified the truck
talk. In few instances (and
under very Favorable circum-
stanceSl truck did net local grow
ers this year as much as 800 an
acre. Cotton at its best and
truck at lis worst is hardly a
fair comparison. A continuation
of this subject-which is really
diversification-is logically con
eluded in an editorial from the
Commercial Appeal, as follows:
The south is in an exceedingly
critical condition. The compare.
tive high price of cotton has
bought about an unhealthy frame
of mind in an unexpected place.
The farmers as a rule realize
that raising corn, hay and grain

also realize that, had they grown
a full acreage of cotton, the price
would have been low. The pric,

price. Cotton alone was grown,
yet 30 days after the outbreak of
the war most of these Individuals,
who are now saying that cotton
alone will make for prosperity,
We're running around the streets
and asking people to buy a bale
and writing their foreign Gus
toners 10 buy a bale.
Trusting to one crop alone is
putting the burden of risk too
high.
OF course cotton should be the
chief money crop Of the south,
and will always be the command
ing crop, but the southern people
themselves will never prosper,
even if they would get 80 cents
a pound for cotton, if they bought
everything that grows on the
farm from some other country.
And southern merchants and
southern cities will have no as-
sured prosperity if this is the or
der of living in the south. No
matter IL cotton We're TO bring
80 cents a pound, the scale of ex-
pense would be raised TO about
Is cents and maybe 81 cents.
We cannot eat cotton, and if
cotton goes TO a low figure we
are in bad way. That is what
happened to us last fall.
The only safe rule is to make
a living at home.
Assure yourself of a living,
then go out for a profit.
You can make living at home
if you will grow enough stuff on
the farm for yourself and stock.
And then after n while you can
slowly branch into the live stock
business.
Make your living on your farm.
DON I hire a man in Iowa or hi
n0is TO make it for you on his
farm. You may not be able TO
pay him when the season is Ov-
er.
If you make your living ON your
own farm you don't have TO pay
anybody. Your farm becomes
your debtor instead Of your cred
itor, and your farm properly
managed is the best paying deb
tor.
II we stick TO cotton as a SIN
gle crop during the next % years,
even the delta land would become
depleted in fertility so that land
which now produces bale TO the
acre would not produce half a
bale. If we keep the soil we have
got to change our methods. II
you improve the soil OF the hlgh
country, you have got TO change
these methods at once. A single

does cotton or wheat, no matter
what it fetches, will finally bank

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. g, 1915.

1t appears from the reports that Britain has turned the tables on Ger
 many in the matter of the submarine warfare and is at present enjoying an almost complete monopoly of the busi- ness of sinking vessels through sub
 marine attack. Of course Britain is nod making the showing that Germany ald but this is probably due to the 1act that she has a far more restricted neld for her endeaVors. German con- merce is at present almost driven from the seas and such few vessels as are engaged in overseas transportation are confined to the Baltic. Still it is ap- parent that the British vessels are playing havoc with the enemy ships and have brought about a considerable destruction within the comparatively brief period of operation. From all accounts it appears that Germany is unable to cope with the situation and has been compelled to see her commerce carriers interned or sent to the bot tom All of which indicates that she Is in a sense caught by her own de- vices and is compelled to suffer by the same instruments she was won't to employ with such eminent success until the British found way to circum- vent their activities While the Brit
 n have paid a heavy price for their success in stopping the German at tacks, they are doubtless striking the Germans a hard blow through cutting off their last remaining avenue of sup ply from foreign sources. Before the commencement of the British sub- marine activities in the Baltic. Ger
 many was enjoying practically unre- stricted trade intercourse with the
 Scandinavian countries and was draw
 ig therefrom an immense amount of commodities essential to the conduct
 of the war. Iron, cotton and a great variety of other products including much necessary food stuffs were ob-
 tained from those sources and the cut
 ting off of supplies from that quar-
 ter is unquestionably a hard blow. It l is probable that Britain is inflicting l upon her enemy through the medium | of her submarine activities an even greater loss than she was herself com pelled to sustain. The best efforts of 1 the Germans could not more than slightly restrict the commerce of Bri- tain and the losses inflicted were but small when compared with the wide extent of British commerce and the immense size of her commercial fleet, The loss of a hundred ships or so meant to her but little as she was still possessed of hundreds of vessels and could carry on her commerce in spite of the losses To her the sinking of a ship and it's cargo meant a monetary loss alone as she had but to send forth other commercial vessels to secure everything essential to her affairs. With Germany, however, the reverse is the case. At this juncture the loss of vessel is a matter of considerable import and if such loss also involves the loss of a cargo of necessary pro- ducts or material 1t is indeed a hard blow.
