Southern Land Congress 10
 Be of Greatest Importance

! ted States, representing an area of ap- proximately 200, ,000, 900 acres of land suitable for agriculture, and quickly and cheaply available for breaking up into small farm tracts as well as large grazing areas, to join and assist in working out the problems incidental to increasing agricultural production during the war, and the preparation of readX-made farm homes for the sol diers returning from the great con- flict.
 Secretary Lane has already been granted by Congress for use through the reclamation service, $200.000, which he is using in a preliminary survey extending to all parts of the United States, and will request an additional appropriation from Congress of an amount sufficient to carry into prac- tical effect the definite plans when formulated.
 Mir. Cory has already made a surv 5y of the ldnds in Maryland, Virginia Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Georgia, under the guid ance of c. s. Ucker, vice president of the Southern Settlement and Develop ment organization, and officials of the land-owning associations of these states, and is working his way nor th through the CarolinaS, Tennessee and Kentucky Upon completion of this survey, he will make report to the Secretary of the Interior Lane, and appropriate recommendations will be made to Congress-

threatening to become 8 serious fac tor in the lumber trade. Despite the improvement in this situation, however, it is even now frequently hard to get cars at some points in the lumber pro- ducing district, especially in the ex- treme south and southwest. Some mills are even experiencing difficulty in get ting cars for government shipment.
 Over and above all these other troug bles the lumber industry is still faced with a serious shortage of labor, with the prospect that this particular diff ficulty may grow worse before 1t gets better Luriber manufacturers engaged in the production of necessary lumber are being urged to claim deferred classification for employees in the draft and also to apply for indefinite fur loughs for necessary employees who have already been drafted The labor scarci- ty is being reflected in very marked reduction in the production of lumber, and if the ordinary commercial demand was anything like normal, there would be a serious scarcity of stock.
 The action of the war industries board in modifying it's building restrictions has also had salutary effect on the industry. The provision permitting the construction of farm buildings up to 5000 is expected to result in an early improvement in the demand from the rural retailers.

LARGE IMPROVEMENTS
 IN SHIP CHANNELS

A special to the Manufacturers Rec ord says: The governments plan for giving Charleston channel with low water depth of 40 feet from the navy yard to the sea is about to be carried into effect The appropriation hav- ing been made by Congress sometime ago, the call has been issued for en- gineers and surveyors to make a sur vey of Charleston harbor. Once the project Is actually under way it will be pressed rapidly, so that the govern ment can utilize the ports advantage fully in connection with the great port terminals under construction at North Charleston, the large storage depot of the marine corps on the Cooper river waterfront and the Charleston navy yard. The channel will be 1000 feet in width. As the tidal range here Is five feet, 1t will be nowhere less than 45 feet deep at high water, and Charles ton will be able to accommodate the largest and deepest vessels afloat or building. As it is generally believed that the Panama canal will limit the size and draft of vessels for sometime to come, Charleston will be equipped to take care of any of the worlds largest ships Charleston harbors present low water depth Is 30 feet and the cost of deepening the 1000-foot channel to 45 feet will be the comparatively small sum of $5.0o0,000.
 Two of the six sections of the Walk & Murdoch company's floating dry dock have been completed since work was begun last February and third is now on the way and will be completely as- sembled soon. It is expected that the

Prosperity Abounds
 in Chiffon County

Clanton. October G. Especial )-With the coming of the fall months the farm CTS of this section of Alabama have taken account of stock, and they find that prosperity has been the net result of their labors.
 Cotton, corn, cattle. hogs, wheat, beans. turpentine, graphite, lumber and several other money -getters have rewarded their efforts bountifully, and now they are in shape to tackle another year and pro- duce these war winners.
 The Presidents appeal to plant wheat is being followed industriously; the farmers see that wheat will feed the boys good white bread while they are fighting the Huns, and, in addition, wheat will sustain the women and chil- dren left here at home. The people in this section are patriotic; they have arrived at the conclusion that no peace is desirable that does not have for it's termination the utter rout of the German greediness for supremacy.
 The sale of Fourth Liberty Bonds IS an indication of the peoples confidence and intention to stand by the govern ment. Up to this writing the sales have amounted to enough to guarantee the going over the top" in Chiffon county by a large majority.

Savannah. October 7.-(SpeciaL) the Southern Land congress to be held in Savannah on November II and 12. under the auspices of land-owning and other organizations representing 15 southern states, and to be addressed by Hon. Franklin K Lane, Secretary of the Interior, and by other notable men from all sections of the United States. to discuss farms for soldiers and other national problems of land utilization, promises to be one of the greatest meetings ever held in the south and meeting filled with prom ise of far reaching national benefit.
 Secretary of the Interior Lane, al- ready having appealed to the Presi- dent and to Congress for aid to inves- tigate lands for the returned soldiers. many of whom he believes will seek continuance of life in the open, mas pointed out that the remaining part of the public domain suitable for agri- culture is inadequate to meet the sol dier demand for farm homes, and he declares that the government will have to turn to private land owners, and that cut-over lands, swamp and arid lands. through some definite plan of co-operation between private land owners the states, and the Unlted States government. must be utilized to meet the demand. This is an im- mediate duty" he declares, saying, it will be too late to plan for these needs when the war is over. At the close of the war, the United States should be able to say to it's returning soldiers, if you wish to go upon farm, here are a number of farms or which you may take your pick, which the government has prepared against the time of your return
 Recognizing that the problem pre- sented by Secretary Lane transcends state bounds, and desiring in a pa triotic spirit to cooperate with the Secretary of the Interior in the soiu- tion of the problem presented, the Southern Settlement and Development organization of Baltimore, quasi public service organization whose charter covers IS southern states, the Southern Pine association. the Geor- gia Land Owners association, the Flor ida Tick Eradication committee, the North Carolina Land Owners assocla- ton, and the Savannah Board of Trade have arranged the Southern Land con- gress, and have invited public officials. land-owning agricultural, civic and commercial organizations throughout the southeastern section of the Uni

Most War Industries Continue
 To Operate at Maxinun1 Capacity
Increased Coal Production Urged Outlook Now Brighter Operations the Farm Be Far Government Re-
 strictons Will Permit-Moyement Better Roads

As there has been a general improve ment in the distribution of labor in the South less complaint is heard of labor shortage, notwithstanding the fact that the draft has made large inroads in in- dustrial man-power.
 The large war industries are being pushed with fairly satisfactory results. Coal production is increasing and there is hope for a new high record within the next few weeks. Mine workers are urged to maximum efforts and at many of the mines in the Alabama district full time will be in evidence this month. The weekly output may not reach 450.0c0 tons before November, but it is expected that 4OO,00O-ton average will be main tained throughout October.
 Blast furnaces and steel mills are op- erating at practically full capacity. Few furnace stacks are idle, and with one or two exceptions those for repairs. Never in the history of this district have so many furnaces been kept in blast

continuously as has been the case dur s ing the past four years
 In the agricultural sections great ac- tivity is remarked The crop situation indicates record breaking prosperity in Alabama. There has been no serious halt in harvesting work. large per- centage of the cotton has been picked and the entire crop in this state will be saved. There has been large increase in live stock, and the farmers have req son to be well satisfied with marketing conditions. The state will not only feed itself, but the surplus of food supplies shipped will total millions of dollars.
 On the farms there is marked activity in building operations. While the gov- ernment restricts the amount of money that may be invested in buildings, re- pair work is encouraged and every pro- gressive farmer will improve his prop erty up to the limit.
 There is a great campaign for paint ing houses in towns and rural districts. Paint being a preservative of wood, to say nothing of thrift that it's use im- plies, more painting will be done this

Modification Of Building
 Restrictions Most Salutary

The general feeling in the lumber industry is gradually improving, az the lumbermen begin to get further details of the various additional proc lamation which recently upset the lum- Der business to such an unusual degree, says the Southern Lumberman in it's October j issue.
 The excitement which followed the announcement of the embargo is grad ually abating, following the modifica- tions which were announced and more general understanding of the order. It is now believed that it will not be a matter of great difficulty to get per- mits, and with the establishment of offices for the issuing of permits at various strategic points, the anticipated trouble from this source should be ob- viated to a great extent
 One immediate and very noticeable
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-07

effect of the embargo is the elimination
 of the transit car. In fact, it has been stated that the embargo resulted from the experience of the emergency fleet corporation in being unable to buy on
 the open market some stock 1t desired,
 although transit cars were being freely offered. Il is improbable, however, that this was the cause of the embargo, the
 trade as whole accepting the rail-
 road administrators explanation that
 the order was merely intended to reg
 ulate the flow of traffic in order to prevent congestion. At any rate, it ap- pears that the embargo dooms the transit car business, for the time be- ing at least; and while this is probably of benefit to the trade as a whole, it is unquestionably a severe blow to that portion of the trade which was accus- toned to market their product in this way not to mention those wholesalers who specialized in transit shipments
 Another result of the embargo was Ito mitigate the car shortage which was

Value Of Products
 Shipped Total High

Cullman, October -(Special.)-Cullman county will ship over $4,0O0,oO0 worth of products this year. according to esti- mates of ginners, produce merchants and other business men of the town.
 The cotton crop will net the county at least s3,50o,o 900. The cotton is of an excellent quality. The seeds, however, are yielding little oil on account of the prolonged dry weather and the conse- quent smallness of the seeds. The past few weeks of good weather have enabled the farmers to gather their cotton and more than half of it has already been picked.
 Sweet potatoes, which are smaller than usual but of delicious flavor, are be- ing shipped every day. Already $50, 900 worth of sweets have been sent to other markets, going for the most part to Nashville, Sheffield. Cincinnati, Br- mingham, Anniston and Decatur. Fiv,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-07

cars have been shipped by express, the others by freight.
 The late crop of Irish potatoes is now being harvested. The Farmers and Ship pers' association here values tnls crop at $lo.O0o, to be sent to Alabama mar kets.
 On account of the prevalence of cattle tlcks in the county, few cattle are shipped. The government has allowed some shipping, however, and about s10,- OO0 worth have been sent away this year. The cattle are examined by an inspector before being shipped
 The poultry and eggs of the county, which supply some of the produce mer- chants in New York and Birmingham, are valued at $40,000 In addition to this. several thousand dollars worth of poul- try are shipped to Birmingham by ped- dlers who travel through the county. Corn shipped this year totals $l5,0Oo The hides, rhubarb, ginseng and berries, fruits and vegetables shipped will easily put our products over si.oOO,Ooo.

fall than usual Every farmer can paint his dwelling and his outhouses at small cost and no investment will pay better.
 A new roadbuilding movement is about to be launched in the south. Any con siderable activity in motor truck high way construction must have not only the governments approval, but the work must be carried on with government aid and that on large scale.
 A system of military roads is assured ly in order. The leaders in the move ment should have, and doubtless will have, earnest public support, especially should the railroad administration get behind the highway movement, just as it has given attention to river transpor- tation Only by the use of waterways and highways can railroad congestion be relieved.
 The people of the Birmingham district and the people of Mobile and New Or leans are looking forward with keen in- terest to November 1. when transporta- ton on the Warrior under new and im- proved conditions will be inaugurated. This enterprise will mark an important turning point in Alabamas progress.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-10-07

entire job will be finished by the end of the year. Each section will receive a vessel 65 feet long. For longer ves- sels two or more sections are used to- gether The cost of this large repalr dock will be more than s50o,ooo. ls will be operated hydraulically. When as shin is to be received the necessary number of sections, depending on the ships size will be filled with water and sunk low enough to take in the vessel. Then the water will be pumped out by steam pumps until both the ship and the upper part of the dock are high and dry It will be possible to repaT practically any coastwise vessel in this dock. and the Walk & Murdoch com pany is looking forward to large repair business as a result of the ex- tensiYe addition to it's plant.

so EARLY IN THE MORNING

We thought the entire nation had
turned the clock up an hour and gone
about it's business, but we have found
one family, at least, that lives under
the old time. The man is farmer
near Coal City, Indiana. He was in
the habit of getting up at four O'Clock
in the morning. and he thought that
hour, under the advanced lock,
would be too early in the morning.
So he decided to live by his own side.
This new national experiment in
clock manipulation has taught us that
hours are mere artificialities, and we
begin to wonder If we do not pay too
much attention entirely to the meas.
urements Of time. Perhaps we have
become a world of clock worshippers,
racing always against the minute
hand, working and sleeping, eating
and praying and playing all by the
figures on the dial.
We have learned by the change, al
least that one hour is like unto an.
, other. So let us no longer be
slaves to the clock.-Farm Life.
