AMERICAN EXPORTS
BREAK BEST RECORDS
Of ALL THE NATIONS
Problem of Business Men Now
Is How to Retain This Vast
World Commerce After the
Close of the War
BY FREDERICK M. KERRY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The export
trade Of the United States has broken
all previous records. For the month OF
August the total exports passed the
half-billion mark, amounting to $780,
100000. This is not only a record for
this country, but for every other coun-
try in the world. 1t is $35,0O0,000 high
err than the previous high record-that
of May, Iceland it exceeds by $45,-
100000 the record of June.
The favorable balance of trade for
August amounted to S311,OO0,OOO, and
for the year ending with August the
balance of trade in favor of American
exporters reached the stupendous total
of S2,465, 900, 900.
The most significant thing about this
increase in export trade is the fact that
it's character has changed. Prior to the
year 1913, the export balance was large
iy in raw materials and manufactured
products. For the past fiscal year, how
ever the proportion of raw material in
export trade is only Is per cent, In the
meantime the proportion of finished
manufactured goods has increased to Al
per cent of the total Also, the proper
ton of war munitions is gradually
growing smaller as the amount of other
manufactured products increases. An
other significant fact is that large pro-
portion of this export trade is going to
neutral countries.
GOVERNMENT AIDS.
The United States bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce is bending every
effort to aid the business men in export
trade. The functions of this bureau have
increased enormously in the past three
years. Under Secretary of Commerce
Redfield, Dr. Edward E. Pratt, chief of
!, hos
commercial agents in every part of the
world and notable aid has been given to
exporters result
Congress has increased the appropria-
tionS for the promotion of foreign trade
from the small sum of 100000 in 1913,
to 1852, 900 for the fiscal year 1916. This
has resulted in an increase of the field
staff engaged in the United States in
promoting foreign trade from eleven
agents to siXty-one. In addition ten
foreign commercial attaches have been
appointed as a result of an appropria-
ton of 100000. Three years ago there
was no appropriation for this purpose.
The commercial bureau has also now
eight offices and six cooperating branch
offices in the United States for promot-
ing American trade; this, too, being a
new departure. There are twenty Spe-
cial agents now travelling abroad gath
ering information about foreign trade
markets. this is an increase of eleven
over the number engaged three years
ago.
During the past fiscal year, ending
June 80, 1915, the bureau was able to
offer to American exporters 1900 trade
opportunities, each giving a special OPP
portunity to fill a market demand
abroad.
The position of American business
men in the export trade has been further
remarkably strengthened by the fact
that America is steadily buying back
vast amounts of American securities
formerly held abroad. Figures obtained
from reliable sources show that between
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-10-24

January 81, 1915. and July 81, 1916, the
amount of railroad securities absorbed
by Americans from abroad reached a
total of s1,2SS.77S,SO1. In addition,
many millions of dollars of industrial
securities have been bought back from
European holders. The United States
has already loaned Europe $500, 900, 600.
while the balance of American railroad
securities now held in Europe is esti-
mated at not more than S1,40O,O0O,OOO
Figuring the sums now due to American
manufacturers for goods shipped abroad,
and due on unfulflled contracts-some
of which have years to run-it is APP
parent that American business is now a
creditor of Europe; in other words, Eu-
rope has gone into debt to America.
The problem which faces America S
business men is the retention of this
vast trade at the close of the European
war. The bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce is bending every effort to
prepare for this time. A steady increase
in it's facilities for furnishing aid to
American export trade is planned.
Through the encouragement Of the es-
tablishment of branch banks abroad;
through lower freight rates to be FUR
nished by government operated merchant
marine vessels; through the passage of
further legislation permitting American
exporters to combine in competing for
foreign trade; and by the employment
of additional commercial agents, the
government is planning to aid American
business to retain the advantages 1t
has gained.

Three years ago this sum was lost

cation OF this insect.
With the tick out of the way the
great southern country which has been

Fever ticks have made profitable cat
tie raising impossible. The average
tick-infssted cow loses nearly a quart
Of milk a day. and a heavily infested
I0O0-pound steer will lose as much as
zoo pounds OF blood a year.
The tick lowered the production Of
meat and milk. prevented the impOrta-
ton of pure-bred stock. made the soil
suffer because of lack Of manure and
even damaged the hides or cattle.
When Secretary OF Agriculture Hous-
ton took charge Of the department in

turned from a trip through Georgia and

Mr.. Bright was accompanied by NJ. r.
McClatchey, the company's representa-
tive here.
THE situation is not as bad as one
might be led to believe" said Mr.. Bright
in commenting on the boil weevil IN
Georgia. 'In many counties we visited
the weevil hadn't arrived, and the farm
ers expressed a determination to get
ready for 1t.
Eve saw plenty of evidence Of the
pest in Lee county. On one 400-acre
farm the weevil had devasted about
twenty acres. The rest Of the cotton had
escaped. This might be explained by
the fact that the twenty acres lay next
to woods and a canebrake wheree the
weevil had found good winter quarters.

confident that he could beat the weevA
by early planting. and he intends to
plant cotton again next year although
not as much. From what could gather
