URGE ACCEPTANI OF FORD'S OFFER PURCHASE AND LEASE OF VIR'NMENT'S PROJECTS AT MUSCLE SHOALS. _081T PRESENTE BY LADD Estimated That Country Has Lest $0,000,000 by Failure to Start Operation. Woa~ngton.-Acceptance of Henry 'a offer for purchase and lease the government's vast nitrate and er power projects at Muscle Shoals r. was urged by republican and emooratic senators comprising a nority of the . senate agricultural bmmittee in a report submitted to t senate. Strong protest was en d b'.the senators against the a 6ptance of the government owner Whip and operation plan proposed by benator Norris of Nebraska, the com nittee chairman. ' The report was presented by Sen MAor Ladd. republican. North Dakota, and was signed by Senator Capper, 1epublican, Kansas, and Harrison, Mississippi; Carraway. Arkansas; ansdell, Louisiana; Smith. South Carolina, and Heflin, Alabama, demo rats. It is estimated that the gov ement hfd lost $3,000,000 at Must. hoals since the armistice, by fail .re to develope and operate the pro Iot, and declared the quickest way stop these losses is to accept the VWd offer for the pui-hase and lease the government's Muscle Shoals Voperty."I "Certain objections to the Ford of seems apparent." the report said. tt we insist without fear of suc 6essful contradiction. that none of the objections to the Ford offer can be sMedied or solved by government b1nership and operation, by the gov rment going into the power busi eaM and entering the uncharted and sardous field of operating nitrate !laats at Muscle Shoals in the pro ftetion of nitrogenous and other com %ercial fertilizers using electro-chem Ical prooesses, the commercial suc ess of which is as yet controversial. "For congress to admit such a pol toy when Henry Ford's offer makes it ecessary for the government to .tso," it continued, "would subject agress to the just condemnation and 1eroach of all sober-minded people." The belief was expressed that every eomber of the senate would agree the committee minority with ret Ice to the acceptance of Mr. Ford's when they consider the "pres fuel and transportation emergen '5w in the light of "development of Steh great hydro-elecerie power as Is and at Mhscle Shoals, adding that ithe only certain and permanent helef in the future from the present anlysis of American industry." 'The report called attention to eharg ~that the acceptance of Mr. Ford's Sder would gife him a government sidy in the development of power dtemanufacture of fertilizer, and "It has been c3aimed that the Ford beer constitutes a subeidy to Mr. Ford. N It is a subsidy, it Is not such a sub Midy as Is proposed by the adinil. Iiation in the ship subsidy bill." Thousands Battle Forest Fires.

WAR FINANCE COR PORATION AND COTTON "Nat!y in July (1921) the Corpor ation agieed to make an advance oj $5,000,000 to aco-operative associa tion in Mississippi to finance the car. rying of 100,000 bales of long-stapl cotton until it could be exported ir an orderly manner. Under the term! of this advance the associatior agreed that out of the cotton pledge( as security for the loan it would ex port within a year a sufficient quanti ty to repay the full amount of the ad vance-the cotton to be held in Amer ican warehouses until the time was opportune to export. The announce ment of this loan stimulated consider able interest, and within a short tim the corporation authorized advance: to other co-operative associations ir Texas, Oklahoma, and Arizona, a! well as to banking institutions ir the South ,to assist in financing larg< euantities of cotton for export in similar manner. In all oF these trans. actions, care was taken to insure th< use of the funds advan':ed by th< corporation solely for the purpose o: orderly marketing, without enrcorag ing holding for speculative purposes "In all ,the corporation agreed t< finance approximately a million ba!i, of cotton, and it was not long befort there was a marked improvement ir the cotton situation. But it was no merely the agreement to finance , million bales, or even the ability to d< so, that changed the situation in th< South. A more important factor wa: the general realization that if th< corporation could develop satisfactor methods of financing for 1,000,00( bales it could do so for such addition al amounts as might be necessary As soon as there was assurance thal the industry would be adequatel) financed buyers both at home an( abroad began to resume purchases with considerable effect on the mar ket for cotton and cotton goods. Milh which had feared that the botton would drop out of the market, deal ers who had been timid about carry ing stocks of cotton, and merchart who had allowed their stocks of cot ton goods to run low, soon sensed th< I stabilizing effect on the market an( were encouraged to go ahead witl their business in the normal way. The business outlook in the South wa. changed, and the discouragement an< despair gave away to confidence anc V STAP hope. But the benefit of the im provement in the cotton situation ex tended beyond the South. The South ern states are large purchasers of the products of the North, East and West, and the increase in their buy ing power was naturally reflected in other producing sections and in our manufacturing and industrial cen ters." RESULTS OF FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS. Clemson College, August 4.-That phosphoric acid is the chief limiting factor in cotton yields, that nitrogen is the second limiting factor, that potash and lime are of doubtful or no value, and that it is difficult to raintain cotton yields by the use of commercial fertilizer alone on typical Piedmont soils are hown in Experi ment Station Bulletin 211, "Fertilizer Experiments with Cotton at Clemson College," which has just been issued by the Experiment Station and is available to all citizens of the state who ask for it. The bulletin contains detailed dis cuSsions of the experiments showing the history of the experiments, which were begun in 1906 on typical Pied mont soils classified by the Bureau of Soils as Cecil Sandy Loam. Fer tilization was at the rate of 600 poundis of 8-3-3 fertilizer per acre each year and (luring the period of experimentation, covering 15 years, 13 cotton crops have been harvested. Tables showing the results in pounds of seed cotton per acre on the various plots and explanatory material cover ing each plot make up the body of the bulletin. The conclusions of the experiments are summed up in the following paragraphs: 1. Applications of fertilizer carry ing large amounts of ammonia or phosphoric acid have a residual ef We offer some everybody ii We have some wedding Jack's Depai FOR MOTOR LUBRIC Is the righ oil for youl motor.

Phosphoric acid is the first lim iting factor on this particula-r soil and gives a larger increase in crop yield than any other one element. alone. 3. Nitrogen is the second limiting factor and gives material increase in yield of cotton. 4. Potash gave a smail increase in yield on some plots but is of doubtful value, when all plots are considered. 5. Lime gave a slight reduction in yield when used with acid alone and a slight increase when used with a com plete ferti!ize!. It does not seem that it would pay to use lime on this soil for the production of cotton alone. 6. Acid phosphate and blood com bined gave better results than any other combination of two elements. 7. Eight tons of stable manure and three hundred pounds of acid phos phate gave better results than any other treatment used. S. The plots which have maintain ed a high yield to the last were fer tilized with heavy applications of acid phosphate and ammonia, and gener ally have had some potash applied also. 9. It is very difficult to maintain the yield of cotton on this soil by the use of commercial fertilizer alone. CAMBER LAIN /FOR THE RELIF OF Pain in the Stomach and Bowels. Intestinal Cramp COLic.
