NOVEL DEFENSE PLAN.

American military and naval experts
are said to be arranging a defense pro
gram to be taken under consideration
by the authorities that provides for
high-speed torpedoes with an effective
range of 20 miles, and submerged forts
to be placed four miles apart on both
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
By experts the plan is regarded as
the best yet offered, and more COM
prehensive than any heretofore con-
siGered, in this country or elsewhere.
Furthermore, it is regarded by both
electrical and mechanical experts as
being entirely practical.
The plan as outlined so far calls for
line of defense up and down the At
lantic and Pacific coasts in the form
of submarine caissons constructed of
concrete and located several hundred
feet from the shore, there to be con-
nected with land by tunnels. The Gals
five miles apart, connected by tele-
phone and by wireless at a Central
point at Washington through sub-cen-
trail stations, located inland. Those
stations would be in constant COM
munications with a war fleet and with
aeroplanes to be employed as aides in
border and coast defense.
The new weapon to be used which is
il contemplation is said to have been
devised by a superintendent of one
OF the crucible steel companies, and
is torpedo with range of 20 miles
and said to be more powerful than any
thing of the sort ever before used.
Each caisson, or hidden fort, would be
equipped with ten of these formidable
weapons, at cost of approximately
$4,000, to be handled by three men,
The caissons would be equipped with
periscopes and would become most
effective weapon of defense against
any battleship trying to effect a land
ing. Not only this, but battlehsipi
would be in danger of these torpedoes
as soon as it came within range of the
coast.
To our way of thinking the program
outlined here seems entirely feasible,
and inasmuch as both mechanical and
electrical experts have pronounced it
such, the American people will watch
with more than usual interest deevlop-
ments along this line.

HOW TO PREPARE, PLANT AND
CULTIVATE IRISH POTATOES

Fall potatoes: One of the most prof
! table crops, and one of the most use
full that can be possibly be planted on
our Southern farms, is the fall crop
/ of Irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant
ing this crop continue to do so, and
the interest is increasing. This crop is
different from the spring crop, will
keep almost indefinitely as they can be
housed in barrels; in an ordinary cell
! lar, barn or any other dry cool place,
and are convenient for use throughout
the entire winter, and will keep per-
fectly until June and July, when they
are ready for seed that perfect stand
can be secured from. Therefore, this,
the Lookout Mountain Potato has been
grown year after year strictly for fall
planting, and the seed harvested in
October and November are best for
fall planting.
A perfect stand can be secured from
this seed as they are sprouted by June,
ready to terminate Immediately after
being painted in the ground They
will not make in the spring, as their
habits have been completely changed
owing to the continued fall planting
for more than 220 years.
The Lookout Mountain Potato is
sound and firm, there never being any
black hearts among them; also free
fro1l scab. They are the best to keep,
heavy yielders, are mealy and the
very best of table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato ex-
tensively is because they can be cul-
tivated at time when labor is usually
plentiful, and not much else to do on
the farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop, as they do not propagate
during the cool nights. of September
and October.
If the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing these
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with to 4-inch
scooter, narrowed thoroughly with a
disk harrow, and few days after this
ground should be turned deep with
two-horse pillow; narrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
and Z days weeder or peg-toothed
harrow should be run over the ground
to keep it open and moisture circulat-
ing in the seed and. Any time after
the 5th of July to the goth of August
for middle and south Georgia is the
proper time to plant as it requires
about 80 days for them to mature.

El Dora1o, Ark. 9-I0- | 6. Dear Sir:
 am sure no one can tell the farmers of Union county what the boil weevil can do to a cotton crop. This season has clearly demon strated to everyone of us that if we are to continue to raise cotton we must take steps to check the ravages of this insect pest.
 The Department of Agriculture and Experiment station of the Col lege of Agriculture of this state have spent money and time in the study of the life habits of the wee vii in hope of finding some way to successfully fight 1t, and prevent the awful destruction from this sting. It has been shown by ex- perience that we can fight the weeVil, and by holding the number down to minimum, make a profit able cotton crop in spite of it's pres ence.
 We will have a meeting in Fl Dorado on Saturday, Oct, IA, at which time we will have a man to tell us how we can fight the weevi. Every man in the county who is interested in the production of cot ton should be in Fl Dorado on that day and learn how to fight the weevil. We all realize that we must fight the weeyil. You are cordially invited to come and bring your neighbors.
 Yours sincerely,
 w. T. McKell,
 County Agent.

Charles fl. BOagh Says:

The people of Arkansas should adopt Amendment No. 1.-the Good Roads amendment to the constitution.
 I most heartily endorse Amend ment No. IA. designed to create a fund by which Arkansas roads may pc substantially improved and made more permanent. The pas sage of this constitutional amend ment. in my opinion. will mean ap- proximrtely $50.OOO,OoO worth of good roads in Arkansas within five years, without one cent increase in taxation. The amendment pro- vides that the question of leyying a three mill tax for thirty years, in stead of two years as at present. shall be submitted to the qualified electors of the county. at a general or special election called for that purpose, at which majority of the qualified electors voting at such an election shall have voted in favor of such levy of taxes.
 . Arkansas present road system is deporabe, in spite of heroic efforts made by the State Highway Commission and the citizenship of the state to improve it. Less than s per cent of our highways are improved. The cost of hauling one ton one mile is 26.8 cents, as opposed to 8 cents in states where this system is in use.
 The passage of this amendment would mean untold benefit to the farmers and business men of Ar kansas, for it reflects the difference between permanent and temporary improvement. "

EereCasting lie EIeCti0n.

The Republicans profess to be confident that they will elect Mir. Hughes, basing their claim on the assumption that the entire Bull Moose vote has returned to the Republican fold, as indicated by the Maine election. But they over look the fact that President Wilson only received 51 900 vote in Maine iaz 1912 when ne was unknown. ard that the Democratic candidate for senate last month received eyer G8.O0O votes.
 This shows an increase of s : Ter cent in the Democratic vote. Of course everyone knows that the entire Bull Moose vote has not re- turned 10 the Republican party be- cause a large proportion of the above lIO0O increase of the Democratic vote, came from the Pfogfessives and the entire vote of Maine as state has increased.
 However, even accepting the Republican argument that the vote for Hughes will equal the com bined vote of Taft, 5,43o. .525, and Roosevelt, 4.f68. .564. MT. Hughes would receive Z,6O8. .OOO votes and Mir. Wilson. who received 6.303,= 600 in 1912, would receive g. 404,O ,O00 which would oyerwhelm- inaly reeleet him.
 The sure Democratic states have lz6 electoral votes. that is those states which gave Mir. Will son. a greater vote in 1912 than they did to F. ait and Roosevelt combined, have IFS votes, which MT Wilson is sure to get this time.
 On the above assumption of giv= ing Hughes the combined vote of Taft and Roosevelt and increasing Wilson's vote by one third, Wilson would receive in addition to ths l75 sure Democratic electoral votes the IA additional electoral votes from the following states:
The Huttig news., 1916-10-14

It will be seen from the above table that the IA votes contained therein added to the 1Z3 sure Democratic electoral votes will give President Wilson at least 31z electoral votes, when all he needs to reelect him is 286.
 However, there is scarcely any doubt that President Wilson will carry Oregon, Washington and Montana, with a strong fighting chance in Massachusetts. Michi- gan, Minnesota Illinois and Califor- nia. and some others.
 The people are realizing more and more every day that if they would be so unWise as turn a good and faithful servant like Woodrow Wilson out of office, that they would be simply buying a pig in a bag" if they elected MT. Hughes, because all Hughes has done from the time he was nominated until now has been to abuse and vilify Mir. Wilson and endeavor to criti- else the great record Mir. Wilson has made. Anybody can criticise, put if that is all he can do, as seems to be the case, he is not worth giving serious attention.
