WaterUays SerUice HailedAs
 Ushering m Economic Era

Thomas Ewing Dabney of New Or leans. in discussing in the Baltimore Manufacturers Record the Mississippi Warrior waterways service, says in part
 The steel barges will connect New Or leans direct with the Alabama mines, via the Tombigbee and Warrior rivers, Mo- bile bay, Mississippi sound Lake Borgne canal and the Mississippi river. At Vio- let. 12 miles from the center of New Or leans, where the canal joins the river, are storage facilities for 50,000 tons of coal, with loading towers. The govern ment has leased the canal and these facilities for an indefinite time, from the Alabama New Orleans Transporta- ton company.
 For the Mobile trade the government has taken over A small wooden barges and three towboats
 With all this equipment the new serv- ice will be able to handle about 900, ,oOe tons of coal year. Freight rates for the present will be the same as rail- but after the war it is expected that the equipment will be sufficiently increased to develop, by the reduced waterways rates, the tremendous coal possibilities of New Orleans. This will be discussed later on.
 To the Mississippi trunk line will be linked the barge lines built and building of the upper rivers. draining the tremen- dous commerce of one-half of the United States through New Orleans-the region included between Pittsburg on the Ohio; Chicago on the Great lakes and the ca nal; Minneapolis and St. Louis on the Mississippi, and Kansas City on the Mis- souri-not to mention the Cumberland, Tennessee, Arkansas and Red river re- gions.
 Throughout the Mississippi valley the watchword is now build terminals. New Orleans has splendid terminals-especia1- ly for handling bulk cargo, like grain and cotton. The belt railway, municipalIy owned, and one of the models of the country, co-ordinates river and rail ship ments with the least expense and great est efficiency. St. Louis is completing modern terminals, and Memphis, Cairo, Natchez and number of leading river cities are working in the same direction. But there is a great deal of apathy.
 By terminal construction, the people of the valley will answer the question, Do they want the river trade restored?
 No matter how great the loss, the gov ernment will operate the barge line dur ing the war. to relieve railroad conges- tion. After the war, however the serv- ice must be self-supporting. The Missis- sippi barges are carrying capacity car go now. but they are moving freight, both ways, at the combined rate of only about 100000 tons year, whereas 1,250, o00 tons is given by Mr. Sanders as the minimum for profitable operation.

Cut Ouer Pine Lands Of the
 South For Cattle Raising

feeding off the cattle for the market This is not the custom in the range country of the west The cattle go to feeders on farms throughout the coun try. The rancher of the west must,
 therefore. content himself with the small profit made in selling stockers, whereas if he were operating in the pine land country of the south he could fit his animals for the packing houses and get both the profit made on the stocker and the fat stock.
 The possibility of fattening cattle in the south Is unsurpassed, if at all equaled. chiefly by reason of the south being the great producer of protein concentrates in the form of cotton seed meal, velvet beans, peanut meal and soy bean meal. Scarcely less important is another form of protein feed afforded by the legume forage crops represented by cowpeas, velvet beans, kudzu, pea nuts, all kinds of which grow in the pine belt.
 Sorghums, kaffif corn, Japanese cane thrive in the pine belt, and are the best of silage crops. While the north and west are feeding expensive corn and wheat brans to condition the live stock for the market, the south can get along without corn and bran, but since it can grow corn so cheapIy along with velvet beans, it follows that it is also of great value as a forage crop and to go with the sorghums into the silo.
 No fattening feed in the whole United States can be produced as cheaply as velvet beans, which, when grown as a companion crop of corn and harvested in the field by the live stock, cost next to nothing. Besides there are the oil meals. If feeders of the north and west can afford to pay the freight on cotton seed meal and feed it with profit, how much more profit there is in it minus the freight charges.

Cut-over pine lands of the southern states will support, acre for acre. more cattle than the range lands that remain in the west says C. A. Whittle of At lanta in the Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
 Range lands are range lands be- cause of their cheapness When land values increase range lands are un- economical and beef production becomes a farm by-product. Are the cut-over !. pine lands cheap enonugh for range purposes?
 If land values alone were taken into consideration and compared with land values or pasturage cost in the west ern range territory, the southern cut over pine lands would not show up well, but that is only one of several factors that come into the equation. Cut-oyer pine lands are, generally speaking. cheap enough for range pur- poses in spite of their price. because of other advantages than their pastur age.
 While the natural pasturage of the cut-over pine lands is good for a period of the year, there are great possibili- ties of improving both it's quality and it's duration by introducing Bermuda Brass, SofIlt OI lHS WlIU ICE uIISS IlhS lespedeza and vetches, and possibly by the introduction of some of the pass palum grasses. Some of these can be easily introduced in the northern part of the pine belt, while it may be neces sary to supplement in native pastures of the lower belt with para grass or other of the grasses from moret rapical regions. In fact, it is possible to obtain fair to good grazing for nine months in the year and light grazing for the re- maining three months on all so-called cut-over pine land territory of the south. Already there is more pasturage, acre for acre, than is to be found in western range lands, even of the better sort
 Climate has entered into the range problem of the west so forcibly and ad versely in recent years as to enhance the value of the southern cut-over pine lands in comparison. Drouths of the sort known to the west never occur in the south. Therefore, pasture in the pine lands is a more dependable factor in beef production.
 But doubtless the greatest advantage offered by the south to go along with its range lands is the possibility of

der a system of task inventive are like boys working for Dad-its all ours, and Dad doesn't care.
 They lose sight of the big danger:
 Waste of man power.
 There is some work economically done by task incentives, merit systems and bonuses for extra effort installed by ca pable industrial leaders for the govern ment, but these are the exceptions and not the rules.
 If you face the facts, they are:
 Wages doubled and in some cases trebled. This is all right, as living is high-but
 Efficiency of labor is only one-half what it was before the war.
 Where is the fault?
 With Uncle Sam. He is too induIgent a relative.
 How?
 By wide-open percentage system of contracting. The purpose of this system was to save time. The result of this sys- tenn has been to waste it by cutting in half the efficiency of labor.
 This is not a belief or an estimate; it is a fact. No man who works labor will deny this.
 That the efficiency of labor should be put back to normal no man who knows the needs of the country will deny.
 Labor is not at fault. The fault Is with the system of contracting.

 1. Convenient. low cost and efficient storage at waterside, railside and high wayside of particular, even running, com modities, IS well as for general merchant disc.
 ?. Easy and low cost means of handling such commodities into and out of storage, and to and from the several means of transportation.
 3. Warehouse receipt that is backed by ample security and guarantees, and in particular cases, an inspection certifi- cate backed by full reliability and de- pendability

Finally, the facilities should be op- erated in such a way as to enable ship pers to move commodities into them by any means of transportation they may elect to use as any time it may meet their convenience, and move such commodities out, and by any means of transportation they may elect to use to destination at any time they may choose.

Influenza Epidemic Abating Here
 Coal Output WiH Show Increase
Production Expected Get Back Weekly Record 100000 Tons NoreMarked Improvement in Alabama Graphite Industry
 The Agricultural South Is Booming

The falling off in coal production in the Alabama district during the past three weeks was caused chiefly by the influenza epidemic, but the situation Is improving and from present appearances the flu will soon be a thing of the past When normal health conditions are restored the miners can be counted upon to do their best in making up for lost time. By the middle of November a weekly record of 100000 tons or more may be expected, and December will probably witness something like 500,0o0- ton records.
 In spite of labor shortage and influ- enza, fairly good progress is being made on the large construction work under way in the Birmingham, Muscle Shoals and Mobile districts. Most of the blast furnaces hereabouts continue in opera tion. Of the Woodward companys two furnaces at Vanderbilt, the smaller one which is being refined. will be ready for

BIG FISH PRODUCTS
 PLANT IN FLORIDA

The Industrial Index tells of great fish products enterprise at Fort Myers, Fla. It is backed by the Ocean Leather company of New York
 Every living thing, from devilfish to a fiddler crab caught in the nets will be manufactured into some staple product Nothing will be wasted but turned into some by-product of com mercial value. The high priced food fish will be turned over to fish deal ers and shipped in iced cars to north ern markets.
 Previously only the hide or the skin of the shark and the devilhsh were used for commercial purposes, but now nothing goes to waste, not even time in skinning the shark, which in the ordinary way takes a man a half hour, but now with machinery Is done in So seconds

 Alabamas s graphite industry has shown marked improvement within the past two weeks. All the plants in the graphite belt are being modernized. Many of them have already been changed from the dry process to the Calow or wet sys- tenn, and in a short while the old process will have disappeared altogether.
 Of the many large operators in Clay county. Mir Kyle has one of the most modern and successful plants. The Steiners, who have gone into the graphite business in Clay county on an extensive scale, are strictly up to date. The Lib- erty company, of which Leo K.
