MULES OR HORSES
Raising of Mules Should Be Profitable
 Industry

A question has come up Of late among Alabama farmers, whether they should buy mules or horses because of the high price of mules, says the Montgomery Advertiser
 The British, French, Italian and our own government are buying both horses and mules very freely. The probable reason mules are higher in price than horses is that there are only about 4,S44,- Ooo mules as opposed to H,5630O0 horses in the United States
 Should the war continue for another year or two Alabama farmers will be
 asked to help furnish mules for war purposes and use more horses. Experi- erce has shown that under certain con- ditions the mule is a better transport animal than the horse, and they will
 be used more and more by our gov ernment
 For the better class of farmers the raising of mule colts should be a very profitable enterprise. The heavier the mules the better the price received for them. Now to raise large mule colts will require at least 1300-pound good grade draft mares. At present theso mares can be bought in Iowa and llli- nois for from s2oo to s25o. 1 The idea that large horses cannot do as much work as a mule is erroneous. A mare can stand as much as a mule in the way of work, and, when she has her colt, she only needs two or three weeks off and she is ready for hard work again.

THE HUM OF INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH
SOutRS R0W MQteridl Discussed Interestingly

posits opened up, with promise of largely increased output.
 The south contains the two largest sul- phur mines in the world, one located at Sulphur, La, and the other at Freeport, Tex. These deposits are contained in a small area in local mound formation. Their production has expanded enormous ly under the demands for this war material, which is used for sulphurc acid, chemicals and wood pulp. Additional mounds have been explored by drilling, and the prospects are very good for fur ther expansion of our resources of this valuable material
 The production of manganese has been greatly stimulated. due to it's use as an essential alloy in the production of steel. The ore districts in Virginia and Geor- gia have increased their production and many new deposts are being developed in Kentucky and Tennessee.
 Flake graphite finds an essential use in the manufacture of crucibles used in the production of brass, bronze and cruc1bie steel There has been very extensive development in the vicinity of Ashland, Ala, where many mills have been con- structed and permanent industries have been developed.
 In common with other districts the war has brought about a great stimulation or the iron and steel industry in the south which should result in future increased development along this line The prop CT treatment of pyrte einder will produce a very desirable iron ore which will fur nish certain amount of supplementary raw material for the blast furnace.
 These many lines of mineral develop ment indicate the great variety of es- sential minerals to be found in the south. and all promise to be imporant factors in giving this district a higher future rank than it has held in the past.

Alabama s Great Industrial Driue
 Continues Without Waning
Never Bore-Coal
  Walker in Agricultural Alabama

Looking over the essentially agricuI- tural sections of the state, it is en- couraging to see small industries, such as canneries and crushing mills, spring ing up, but more significant still is the advance in economic farming and in the attention paid to live stock hus- bandry.
 There is room for large development in both the poultry and creamery indus tries. Alabama has several extensive creameries, but we need more of them. With it's natural advantages Alabama should, in time and a short time at that, sissippis commercial butter out-turn last sissippi's butter commercial out-turn last year was 3,000,O00 pounds. It is estimated that total of 100000 pounds vii be this years commercial record. With reasonable enterprise it should not be long before Alabama's creameries will be turning out butter at the rate of D. 000,000 pounds year
 With it's wonderful mineral and tim Der resources and its rich and varied soils, Alabama must in time become the wealthiest state in all the south

 EASING OF TENSION IN COAL SITUATION

Reports coming from all parts of the country indicate general easing of the tension in the coal situation. says Black Diamond Just what new influ- enee is at work on the coal buyers is not yet quite clear Perhaps it is best to say that number of influences are at work on the buyers and producers alike. It is unfortunate but true that the zon-
 ing system is responsible in way for some delay. Retail dealers being zoned out of their customary sources of SUD- ply are not yet familiar in detail with their new source and are not buying very eagerly. Of course there are radical and numerous exceptions to this rule, but it prevails in the main just the same. Buyers are not familiar with the new coals they are expected to take and are using too much time studying coals to see what they will finally choose
 Another influence making for delay Is the fact that the people believe the zone system will save a great deal of transportation, and therefore, will give them more time in which to get in their coal This is a dangerous attitude to take, to be sure, but the people seem to be taking it just the same. The im- mediate danger is that the people. by delaying buying will lose the advantage sought by the zoning system
 Coal operators have in part lost their zegt for the storage movement because they are engaged in q controversy with the railroad administration on the price of railroad fuel. That controversy has Become so heated that tpe operators are not paying attention to much else until it is out of the way The sugges- tion that they @ccept cost plus 70 cents a ton is noE received with favor be- cause cost varies so much they consider that margin entirely too small for safety.
 Another mighty big influence Is the fact that the railroads have let down In their resery3pg of coal ears for coal trade and as result have been allow ing their sse1pment to be used for ether and less essential purposes. h some places this is causing a ear shortage regardless of smaller demands for coal from the people.
 On all these accounts the market sentiment is decidedly mixed. bat as f,s- dicated, the edge has been taken off the market definitely in the Last week.

Prospect For Connecting
 Ne,u Orleans and Mobile
Interurban Line Considered AfterWar Possibility.
 Many Towns Expected to Cooperate

to build and operate a railroad in the parish of Orleans or any of the adjacent parishes, and under this authority the Public Belt can cross the parish of St. Tammany and connect with the Missis- sippi system at the state line.
 If present plans are carried out, the Mississippi division of the system will connect with the Public Belt at some point on Pearl river at or near Log town or Pearlington. The city of New Orleans will have the right to deter mine the route of the railroad from the city to the state line.
 The Mississippi municipalities inter- ested are anxious to connect up their line with the interurban road in St. Tsmmany parish at some point near Slidell, and thus establish an interur- ban system on the north side of Lake Pontchartrain that may be extended to Hammond and Baton Rouge It Is very likely that the St. Tammany mu- nicipalities will be asked to partici- pate in the conference for the purpose of launching the enterprise. If Louis- jana municipalities outside of New Or leans need any additional legislation to enable them to join in the work they will be in a position to secure it from the legislature, when that body meets at Baton Rouge in May.
 The act passed by the Mississippi leg islature, empowers municipalities that wish to take advantage of the law to issue bonds for the construction of cleo tric interurban railways and hydroelec- tric plants. The municipalities are given the right to mortgage the railway and ali of it's receipts for the purpose of rals- ing money for construction purposes. In this way it is planned to build the line without costing the taxpayers a cent beyond the cost of the survey. While the bonds are to be underwritten by the municipalities, it is figured that the traffic receipts when the line is in oper- ation, will bring sufficient revenue to provide for operating and maptaining a sinking fund for the retirement of the securities when due.
 There are several streams in south Mississippi that will furnish power for hydroelectric plants and the new law authorizes the use of these water courses. The act confers on municipalities full au- thority to appropriate property for rights of way, sidings, depots, power plants or anything else necessary in the opera ton of an interurban system.
