Iruguayan Ship Clears for
Suenos Aires With Cargo
of 2964 Tons of Ala
bama Fuel
Mobile. September 19.—(Special.)
Inaugurating the export of Birmingham
coal to South America via the port of
Mobile, the Uruguayan ship Domingos
J. De Silva baa cleared for Buenos
Aires, Argentina, with a cargo of 2964
tons of the Alabama fuel. In this en
terprise. Messrs. Alfred L. Staples and
James Feore are associated.
Announcement by Mr. Staples that
the de Silva would carry her cargo to
Argentina set at rest a persistent re
port among marine men here that her
cargo was intended for a warship in
the gulf. It was said that the firltish
cruiser Suffolk lay in wait for the ship,
ready to take aboard the entire 2900
tons of jfuet
This report gained ground probably
because of reports of .various ship cap
tains that the German steamship Na
varro which took 6000 tons of cool at
Pensacola, had transferred her cargo to
♦.he German cruiser Karlshruhe Just off
Pensacola bar. The Navarro had also
cleared for South America.
Just a Business Venture
"This is just a business venture,
said Mr. Staples to The Age-Herald
correspondent. "We have heard that
coal Is selling In Buenos Ayres for as
much as $24 a ton, though we do not,
of course, expect to get such a fancy
price. We do, however, believe that
we. can sell to sn advantage and if
our first venture is the success we be
lieve It will he, other shipments will
follow, thus opening the way for an
extensive business between Mobile Hud
the port to the south."
While this Is the first coal cargo
out of Mobile destined for ports on
the continent of South America, a
cargo has already gone to the West In
dian Islands, and the use of the Ala
bama product there is said to have been
so satisfactory that Alabama c.tul Is
likely to prove a permanent substitute
for fuel imported from other pat Is of
the world.
Mobile and Birmingham business men
who have expressed themselves in ills
city, believe that the Kuropean war will
present an opportunity it) Alabamians
that cannot be passed by. Kumnet.il
arrangements, they sa' constitute the
sole difficulty, the la "ople of H e
west preferring the generous
terms of the Kuropeatte. They believe,
however, that the adaptability or the
American people, their facility for
grasping new Ideas, will open the way
finally. Birmingham furnishing the
product and Mobile the ships anti Hie

they see the basis for a closer ton.

ALABAMA FARMERS
DECIDE TO PAY MORE
ATTENTIONTO GRAIN
Aggregate Number of Acres
Pledged More than Enough
to Insure Montgom
ery Mill
Montgomery, September 19.—(Special. >
Fanners of Alabama have made-liberal
responses to the appeal of the depart
ment of agriculture and industries to
plant a sufficient acreage In wheat to,
warrant the establishment at Montgom
ery of a large milling plant, according
to the latest weekly bulletin of the de
partment.
"Numerous letters are on our office files
committing their writers to plant from
live to 100 acres of wheat this fall."
says the bulletin, "and the aggregate of
acres pledged to this end already ex
« eeds the number specified as a condi
tion to the building of the mill.”
The department says there is a tidal
wave of sentiment favoring the planting
of grain and grasses, and advises that
more attention be given to wheat, corn
and oats.
Department's Bulletin
Following Is the department's bulletin:
"The appeal of this department to the
farmers to accept the proposition of a
prominent milling firm of Montgomery to
build a flouring mill of large capacity, if
a sufficient acreage in wheat was planted
to warrant the venture, has been cor
dially ryeived.
"Numerous letters are on our office filer
committing their Writers to plant from
five to 100 acres of wheat this fall, and
the aggregate of acres pledged to this
end already exceeds the number specified
as a condition to the building of the mill
The spontaniety and promptness with
which our appeal was regarded shows
the magniture of interest that Is mani
fested in the subject and marks a de
parture In methods of farming that ushers
in a new era of hope for the farmers of
our state.
"The department has issued within the
past week two separate bulletins on wheat
explaining the subject in detail and giv
ing information which those who intend
to raise wheat should procure. Those who
have not received these bulletins will have
them sent on application.
"Following the success that lias at
tended the wheat movement a tidal wave
of sentiment favoring the raising of grain
and grasses generally appears to have
set In among the farmers in all parts
of the state. There will lie a larger
acreage In legumes and cover crops, em
bracing every variety of these products
next season, than ever be fore known In
Alabama. No one can accurately esti
mate the volume of benefit that will
accrue to the farmers of the state as a
result of tills determined policy on their
pa rt.
"Ah it is nearing the time for tlie plant
ing of these crops everything should he
gotten in readiness for tlie end in view.
Kail breaking already is very general.
Some have already planted their alfalfa
anil clover and report that it is coming
up nicely It is. however, too early for
wholesale planting, October being the pre
ferred month for such sowing. Now, how
ever. Is the exact time to get your
lauds in thorough readiness Tn prepar
ing for wheat and oats, we would ad
vise the use of 300 pounds to boo pounds of
a 10-4 fertilizer per acre, to lie followed
by a top dressing of nitrate of soda next
spring of 75 pounds per acre This will
give you a larger yield per acre for the
money spent for fertilizer than it would
if the fertilizer used on your crop car
ried 3 per cent of nitrogen to start with.
"The price of oats will go up along
with that of wheat and corn, and if your
land is not suitable for wheat you can
grow oats, of which we urge you to plant
largely this fall, whether you grow wheat
or not.
"A large acreage in corn Is specially
insisted on. Tile lesson of this year's
short crop should not he forgotten. Rye
and barley should as grazing crops also
he liberally included.
"Supplanting these, plant heavily in
clover, vetch, cover crops of all kinds—
anything to get away from a one-crop
regime."

ANNISTON BUSINESS!
MEN ORGANIZE 10
FIGHT COAL RATES
Declare Coal Raise Means
Over $1,500.000—Delega
tion Going to the
Capital
Anniston. September 19.— (Special.)
President .1, B. Carrington and mem- j
l-ers of the Anniston Chamber of Com
merce are mobilizing for the coal rate
fight at Montgomery Monday, at which
time President Carrington and others
from this city will probably take the
s'and in oppositoin to tbe increase pro
posed by the railroads.
Sometime ago the local civic cham
ber adopted strong resolutions urging
tbe railroads to defer their request for
l he increase and calling upon tbe com
mission to not grant the raise in the
event the railroads insist upon a right.
Local trippers indorse the words of
former Governor .ielks in addressing
tbe commission on the subject that this
is no time to tamper with established
rates in any particular, but they say
they are armed for the fight and a
large delegation will go from here
Monday to appear before the commis
sion.
The I/juisvillc and Nashville is tak
ing the lead and bearing the brunt of
the battle, and figures produced by
tbs Chamber of Commerce here show
that out of 45 cases docketed with the
Alabama railroad commission in the
past six months 14. or about 33 1-3 per
cent, have been by or against tbe
Louisville and Nashville. Those who
have returned from Montgomery state
that the attorneys for the road are lay
ing great stress on the fact that the
road's passenger revenues were de
creased $200,000 this year by the com^
mission, but it is claimed that if the
increase as proposed is made tbe rail
roads will receive over $1,500,000 on
coal alone.
Delegations will also go from Bir
mingham, Talladega, Sylacauga and
other places to co-operate with An
niston in this fight Monday.
• Are Displaying Cotton
The Anniston Buy-a-Bale-of-Cotton
club committee, which was appointed
by President J. B. Carrington of the
Anniston Chamber of Commerce Fri
day, got to work Saturday and is giv
ing a material boost to the movement
here. Merchants are beginning to dis
play bales that they have bought In
front of their stores.

WILLING TO AID IN
GIVING INFORMATION
Johnston Says Tidewater Receiver
Will Afford Kvery Facility for
Examination of Affairs
To the Editor of 'Hie Age-Herald:
On my return to the city my atten
tion has been called to a statement in
The Age-Herald of Wednesday, Sep
tember 16, under the headline, "Tide
water hooks to be examined." The
report states that an examination of
the books was to have been started
Monday last, "but was not permitted
I y the local management.'' It refers to
a desired examination by Mr. Cunning
ham of Boston and concludes with the
suggestion that tbe receiver and his
counsel discount the proceedings of
Air. Cunningham and associates in the
premises.
This report is so materially mislead
ing and so unfair to the receiver and
to Mr. Cunningham that I trust you
will correct it. The receiver has not
only not placed any obstacle in the
way of an examination of the books,
hut has offered and will afford every
lacility for a complete examination by
Stone & Webster, or any other firm of
reputable accountants, and has pre
pared and turned over to the printer an
elaborate report to the court, which
will lie of assistance and Information
to all parties in examining further into
th-. matter.
The Age-Herald account appeared on
September 16. As I was in Montgom
• r> from Monday, September 14, to
Fridrfy, September 18, I am at a loss
to understand why I should have been
quoted as discounting the efforts of
Mr Cunningham to take such action as
he may bo advised, or as questioning
lus motives or tbe propriety of his ac
tion In the premises. 1 have no in
formation whatever which could af
ford any basis for the suggestion yiat
Mi. Cunningham and his associates are
not proceeding in entire good faith and
they have my assurance, as attorney ,
for the receiver, that their thorough |
examination into the records and ac- i
counts of the company will be assisted
in every way. In fact, the receiver will
be very glad to have tbe benefit of
(he report and findings of Stone &
Webster.
Mi*. Ross also assures me that he has
made no statement which could be
construed as authority for the report
above quoted and, as the suggestions
arc so contrary to his attitude and his
expressions, he Joins me in the request
that the report be corrected. Yours
ve ry truly, FORNEY JOHNSTON.

Every Agent, Broker, Sales
man and Sales Office in
South Ordered to
Purchase Bale
The Quaker Oats company has ordered
every agent, every broker, every sales
men and every sales office In the cotton
belt of the south to buy-a-bale of cotton
at 10 cent* per pound and draw on the
company for $50. This means, according
to Augustus McCarty, local representa
tive of that company that at least 1000
bales of cotton will be bought by this
one concern and that over $50,000 will be
spent by them In temporarily tiding over
the southern cotton crop.
In addition to performing that act of
co-operation the company In a note to
Mr. McCarty says that 1,000,000 cotton
bags have been ordered which will replace
the jute hags heretofore used by that
giant concern. This will no doubt help
create a movement to substitute cotton
bags for jute on the part of many com
panies at present using the latter, thus
assisting in relieving the situation.
Letter of Company
The letter of the Quaker Oats company
on this subject follows;
, Chicago, 111., September 10, 1914.
'McCarty-Ormaud Brokerage Co., Bir
mingham, Aia.
“Dear Sirs: The Quaker Oats company
desires to show in some substantial way
its eagerness to co-operate with the mer
chants and business interests of the south
toward assisting in the relief of the pres
ent .cotton congestion.
“We can think of no better way to
show our appreciation of the large and
growing business which the merchants
and#consumers of the south have given us
than to join heartily in the 'buy-a-bale of
cotton’ movement.
"We have given instructions today, to
the managers of all of our southern sales
offices, also to all of our traveling sales
men. to all of our broker* ami all other,
southern sales represents!ives—to buy a
bale of cotton for our account.
"Each man will buy one bale at 10 cents
per pound.
“'Hils letter, therefore, which is a dupli
cate of a letter sent to each one of our
representatives, will be your authority
for purchasing, for the account of the
Quaker Oats company, one bale of cotton,
to grade middling or bettr, a 10 cents per
pound, delivered warehouse. You will use
good judgment as to your manner of
placing this order, and will buy the cot
ton for delivery at some reliable local
warehouse whose receipt cannot be ques
tioned. and you may make or instruct
the seller to make draft upon us at Chi
cago for the value of said cotton, ware
house receipt to be attached to the draft
upon us.
Using Cotton Bags
“There is another way in which we are
lending our aid toward increasing the
domestic consumption of cotton. We are
very large manufacturers of such pro
ducts as meal, grits, flour, cereals in bulk
form, much of which by long custom
has heretofore been shipped In jute bags.
We nave largely been able, on such com
modities, to substitute cotton sacks in
stead of Jute, and last week, in view of
existing conditions, we placed a large
contract for cotton feed bags. 1,000,00 of
which are for immediate delivery to be
substituted In place of jute bags.
“Purchase your bale of cotton Immedi
ately. Yours truly.

BRAZIL RAILWAY
PAYS $10.75 A TON
W. S. Lovel Makes Public
Answers of F. O. Welsh
to Questions Asked
Concerning Coal
F. O. Welsh, master mechanic -of thf
Brazil Railway company, stationed a!
San Paulo. Brazil, was requested sev
eral months ago by W. S. Lovell to an
swer some questions about whether Ala
bama coal could be used in that section
of South America. Mr. Lovell gave out
the answers yesterday. The price paid
there is $10.75 per long ton. The differ
ence between the analysis of the coal
used there and the coal that could hr
sent from here indicates a change of
grate and engine equipment would be
necessary if the local coal is used. How
ever. the price of Alabama coal as com
pared to the coal used in Brazil is sc
very great that such mechanical changer
as necessary could be made as it would
save on the best calculations $1000 pei
day to the Brazil railway.
Mr. Lovell is of the opinion that Ala
bama coal could be sold In South Amer
ica at a great advantage to this district
and a great saving to the railroads in
that country. The only thing to be done
is to get. tlie bottoms, have a few mtnoi
mechanical changes made in the rolling
stock of the lines and the vast saving
would accrue to the lines as well as
the benefit to this district.
The questions of Mr. Lovell and the
answers of Mr. Welsh, who was foi
sometime in this district, and who is
known here widely, are as follows:
“What coal ^lo you use?" "Cardiff
Crown briquettes and Atlantic briquettes.’
What quantity per month?" "Five thou
sand long tons coal and 10,000 tons brl
auettes."
"What percentage lump and slack it
coal?" “Eighty per cent lump, 20 pel
cent slack and pea.”
“What heat units does coal contain?'
"Fifteen thousand, eight hundred anc
seven B. T. V.”
“At what port do you get coal?" "San
tos."
"What is the price per long ton foi
Santos?" "Ten dollars and seventy-fiv<
cents for coal."
"Give analysis of coal you use." "Naturi
of coal, semi-bituminous: average sam
pie fixed carbon, 83.28: ultimate analyst:
coal dried at 100 degrees C; carbon, 89.17
hydrogen, 4.93; oxygen and nitrogen, 3.61
ash. 1.68; sulphur, .61; specific gravity
1.299."
"Is any American coal used in Brazil?’
"Very 111 tie. if any."
"What ships carry Brazilian coal?'
"English."
"Could American ships be had to carr;
coal?" "No."
"What return cargo could they get?'
"None, except possibly some coffee a
very low rates."
