WELL PREPARED
TO SUPPLY ARMY
United States Ready as Never
Before to Make War
Materials.
SHOWN BY EXPORT FIGURES
Plants Created by Demand From
Abroad Now Capable of Turning
Out Vast Quantities Of
Munitions.

The United States, is equipped IN
private industry as never before toi
the furnishing to the army and navy
of almost everything that might De
needed in time of war. In certain m
fishing processes, notably with rerer-
ence to airplanes, the resources OF this
country are still far behind those OF
Great Britain and France, but the gap
is being lessened gradually.
The data regarding the exports OF
the United States during the past year.
as issued by the department OF COM
merce, give a comprehensive idea OF
the vast resources of the United
States.
The significant part of these figures
aside from their overwhelming size, is
that the exports are obviously our out
put in excess of our domestic con-
sumption requirements.
Thus it is more or less interesting
to know that whereas in 1914 we soid
boots and shoes worth $18,OOO,OoO, IN
1916 we sent, mainly TO. Europe, S4I,-
100000 worth. 1t is even more inter
esting, from the viewpoint of indus
trial preparedness, TO know that IN
1916 we sold abroad footwear for ID
100000 pairs of feet.
But we are prepared for the turning
out of rifles and hand grenades as well.

Filling Huge Arms Contracts.

A merger was effected of the old
Remington Arms company and the
United Metallic Cartridge company,
the consolidation carrying through the
completion the construction of the vast
plant at Bridgeport, which alone is
able to put out more small arms than
formerly all the American plants COM
bined could make. 1t is now working
on a 100000 contract for Russia.
The Du Pont Powder company en-
larged its plants in Wilmington, Del,

Lake, near Patterson, n. j. 1t took
little plant south of the Potomac,
which had been employing $50 men,
and transformed it into an Industrial
city with 10000 on the pay roll.
At New Britain, Conn, the Amerl-
can Hardware company's plant, which
had been turning out household and
shop utensils and fixtures, suddenly
opened an important side line of spe-

TRAVELLING THROUGH GEORGIA

We had heard a great deal OF the
fabulous sums of money made the
past season and for several previous
seasons by the Georgia farmers and
just row they do it, is mystery to
us.
In travelling from Jacksonville to
Chattanooga one passes over good
portion of the state of Georgia, and
having taken that trip the other day
we were surprised at the unfriendly
appearance of the soil.
The corn stalks as rule did not
appear larger than ones thumb, and
some not so large, and the cotton
stalks, on an average, were not more
than knee high, and cotton and corn
seemed to be about the only crops.
II Georgia farmers can grow fat on
soil no richer than what we saw il
occurs to us that every Florida farm
er ought to be millionaire
From Chattanooga to Knoxville the
farms seem richer, but through a
large part of Tennessee. Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and
from Savannah to the Florida line
poor lands are the rule and not the
exception.
More and more we feel better sat-
isfied with Florida, and are buoyed
with the thought that the day is not
distant when she will be known far
and near as great farming and stock
growing state. Now, her farm lands,
in every way apparently superior, are
"a drag on the market. while the lands
in Georgia are commanding fabulous
prices.

DISTRESSING TIMES IN TEXAS

Say, you Florida farmers! how
would you like to live in Texas? Just
listen to this:
Fifty-six counties without rain for
a period of two years. Running
streams have been dry for that Pc
riod.
In those counties the suffering is
as intense as in the war zone in Eu-
rope, for nothing can be more intense
than starvation and thirst.
The following telegram from Con-
gressman Blanton to Secretary McA-
doc describes the awful conditions
conditions which Florida farmers have
never had to face:
Honorable W. G. McAdoo, Secre-
|tary of the Treasury, Washington, ID.
C.-Have just inspected drouth condi-
tions from Fort Worth to Ell Paso.
Situation west of Eastland county is
tragic in the extreme. Without see-
ing impossible to conceive of such aw-
full conditions. Thousands of farms
are bare as public roads. Thousands
of farmers have been forced to leave
country seeking temporary work to
avoid starvation. Ranches are with
out both grass and water. In some
places creeks have not run for over
two years. Even immediate shipment
of cattle will not prevent great loss.
Cattle are weak, and large per-
Ecentage are actually unable to with
stand shipment and would die in tran
sit, hence only salvation is feeding on
ranches throughout winter. In iso-
lated places stockmen are paying $50
for cake and $22 for hulls.
sT deem government assistance abb
solutely necessary for fifty-six out OF
the fffty-eight counties in my district.
respectfully recommend and urge
that you place substantial deposits
in all banks in west and southwest
Texas, both national and state, thus
relieving them from any unwarranted
uneasiness as their connections might
entertain, and enabling them under
proper regulations to carry the drouth
stricken people, and tide over this un-
usual crisis. Please answer, Abilene,
