AMERICAN TONNAGE
SHOWS INCREASE
Old Glory Floats Over 2,76S Vessels
Engaged in the Foreign
Thlde.

Washington, Aug. 30-The American
flag now floats over more ships in the
foreign trade than at any time since
1863.
Figures made public today by the
department of commerce show rec
ord increase in American shipping for
the year ended June 80. On that date
there were registered in the foreign
trade 2,76S ships, totalling 1,S13,775
gross tons, an increase of 1853 ships
and 1888 tons for the year.
Practically all the increases are due
to the new American registry law. AS
sistant Secretary Sweet of the depart
ment of commerce said in statement
today:
This is about triple the increase in
registered tonnage for any previous
year in American history. Our regis
tered tonnage is now much greater
than at any time since 1863, when we
had 2,O26,114 gross tons in foreign
trade. 1t is many times more efficient,
however, as the steam tonnage now
amounts to 1,273,O67 gross tons, while
in 1863 it amounted to only 1925
tons.
THE increase from the ship registry
act of August 1S, 1914, to June 13, 1915,
was so rapid that tonnage under the
American flag now employed in foreign
trade is nearly equal to such tonnage
under the French or Norwegian flags.
British tonnage, of course, is more
than ten-fold greater

Cotton Crop GOOd-Farmers Raising
Home SuppIies-Many Items OF
Personal Interest.

Prosperity, Sept. 2.-This cool
weather reminds us that the good old
summer time" has about left US for
autumn to begin.
Cotton picking has begun and the
crop through this section is fairly
good We hope to see the price keep
en- the rise for a while now.
Last year was a lesson to farmers
to raise their home supplies and a
great many more eatables were raised
this year on account of this lesson.
If cotton was to reach 10 cents
again we don't think the farmers would
go back to the all cotton system any
more.

home. Next, provide from one to three good cows to furnish milk and butter the year round; then provide q good chicken house, and with abont ten dollars worth of poultry wire make pens and runs for the chickens. so they can be kept out of the garden and crops. Set apart a good garden spot, and make it rich. Study vour almanac, and learn about the best vegetables, and how and when to plant, and at the proper time plant the garden. Be careful and do not plant bigger garden than your wife can cultivate. Set aside an acre or two for a good calf pasture; and an acre for truck patches, in which plant early sweet corn, potatoes, cantaloupes turnlps, spinach, watermelons. pea nuts and pop corn. In the spring buy home canning outfit, and use it dur ing the season. Put out a few peach and apple trees, a small number of grape vines, and about one-eighth of an acre of strawberries. Provide yourself with two to four good brood sows. and get good pure-bred male. Breed your sows in November or De- cember, and take good care of the pigs when they come, and feed and pasture them for meat next fall. Plant enough hay and forage crops to feed your stock. Provide a pasture for your work stock at night, and on Sundays and rainy days. It will save feed. Let the women and children attend to the milk and butter and chickens and perhaps the garden. Do the field work yourself, or hire a hand to help. When all this is done, put in all of the staple crop that you will be able to cultivate well, and do not neglect one part for another Add all the live stock you can carry along with this system, and make your land as rich as you can with manure, and by planting and blowing under COW peas, and other green crops.
 Do these things, and you will sue ceed, raise a happy family, educate your children and make them good and usful citizens.

It mas been estimated that there are more than 3,5OO,OO0,0OO,OOO short tons ot coal in the United States. ex elusive of Alaska. An authoritative statement of the coal supply of the world shows that the United States mas coal reserves exceeding those of any other continent and nearly double those of Europe. The fact that we are a favored nation in this respect however, does not imply that we should not be on the alert to discover and put into operation the best possible policy in regard to our coal lands. and In determining this policy a compari son With the practices of other mining countries Is helpful. Geological Sur Vey Bulletin 505. "Mining Laws of Australia and New Zealand" contains much that is suggestive on the sub Ject, and although it is not an exhaus- tive treatise, it is the best available collection of authoritative data bear ing on the practical working of miner al-land laws essentially different from those of the United States. The bull letln not only gives in considerable detail the special provisions, terms, and conditions of the different laws, as well as statistical information re- garding the extent of mining, but also contains much testimony by practical Australian and New Zealand mining men who are operating under these laws.
