FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1922. We hope the subscribers to stock in the cannery will meet toniorow, Saturday, at 11 o'clock in the rooms of the Chamber <>f Commerce The meeting called yesterday did not result in an organiutioit of the company for there was not sufficient stock subscrip tions represented. We hope to have a full attendance tomorrow, so that we can go ahead with plans to put the enterprise in motion. The Alabama Power Company yesterday submitted a bid for the government's property at Muscle Shoals. Alabama. The offer "is regarded by officials as offering a formidable rivalry to Henry Ford's proposal now be AWIV IWI UilOl VlVXiOIVU. That's just the way the matter vill be viewed by the political tricksters in congress. It is not likely that Henry Kurd will get the lease on Muscle Shoals. Why did the Alabama Power Company wait until the very day the matter is to be passed upon finally by congress? Why has the National Fertilizer Association fought Henry Ford's proposal? Why are Eastern tapiuilists, almor.t to a man, opposed to Ford's offer? The reason is not far to seek. There are certain political leaders that will not willingly see such a tremendous development i.t the South. If Henry Ford is not given the lease, there is no danger that the Alabama Power Company w*:ll get it, the company perhaps does not want it, certainly not for the purpose of developing it, The fertilizer people do not want it; they fear it, but offer no prospect of development. The government, now that w? are at peace, does not desire to develop the enterprise. In fact, it has little reason to do so. The thwarting of Ford's plan and fuming down his proposal, is the easy way to frustrate the whole contemplated development. We have little doubt but that the op poncnts of Ford's proposal, while greatly in the minority in congress, will succeed in frustrating effectively the move. _ V.

Testing Seed Cord <: n Clemson College, eb. 16.?It is now, '* I the time of year that farmers should I '' test their seeds to see that they are in good condition for planting the I spring crop. Th's is especially true i of seed corn. A method of testing seed ** corn which includes the testing for c diseases as well as germination is ; discussed below, and detailed infor j mation concerning this method ma- v I be secured by writing to Clemson Col lege or to the U. S. Department o' 1 Agriculture. If a farmer wishes to test his seed ' ' corn for germination only, withoui '' making test for diseases, there is ; 11 very simple plan which any farmemay follow readily. The necessar< materials consists of a box, some mus lin, and some sawdust or old chaT The box may be made any size to su"' j the needs of the individual. The sid'" j should be made of 2 x 4 timber whih the bottom may be made of any co-1 ^ venient material. A box 48 inohe '' ' long. 28 inches deep will test two bur j dred ears at one time. This is enoug! | reed to plant about 16 acres. It usually reouires about 12 ears to plam 1 ! i n acre. Detailed instructions for tesf , ing seed com by this method hav i been published several times and wil 15 be furnished upon application. Testing Seed Corn for Diseases. Every once in a while somebod* I learn6 something that upsets a lot o' ! our well established ideas nbouf j things, i his has recently happened lJ | concerning corn diseases. We user1 j to think that com is practically fre- !1 , of important diseases, but we hav- r | to change our minds. We now know | that there are some very- seriom v | ones, and while we are still very fa' F | from knowing all about tbem we d< c ! know how to avoid them to a larg' extent. 1 The most destructive com disease*- r ' are connected with the seed, and our 2 | method of dealing with them is merej ly to test the seed and discard those ' I ears which are diseased. We used F : to think that a germination test is the o only one necessary. We now know F that more is needed. An ear tha* germinates 100 per cent is sometimes t diseased and unsuitable for planting, t The most practical method of test- ' ing seed corn for disease is bv the c "modified rag doll," a modification of c : the rag doll method of testing for c | germination, which makes it possible c to determine not only the germination but also the condition of each ear as to vigor and disease. By this test it may be found that among the best appearing seed ear* are many which germinate poorly many which produce weak plants many which produce diseased plants ' and manv which show various combi no firm o nf +V\ oca Mnf Anlir fViU Vnit C many of the weak and diseased ears ' germinate 100 per cent and under the h old system of testing: would be used y for seed and would produce stalks that b are stunted, barren.easily blown over ' or produce nubbins onlv. etc. Further details and full directions ^ J for testing seed corn can be found in j Farmers' Bulletin 117fi, which can be , secured from tho IT.

Rattle of Schley county, returnee' ! to Ellaville Wednesday morning nftej an all-night hunt for participants ;r the lynching Monday of Will Jones ; a negro. He holds warrants for nim" ! men, all heads of families, but none i had been arrested. All disappeared ! ncordintr to reliable information, an;' the authorities decline to sav whi' steps will be taken to effect their ar rest. The names of those for whom warrants were issued are withhe'd. Coroner U. H. Rigsbv told news- ; paper correspondents Wednesday the j mob was composed of not more than a dozen persons, and evidence at the in j nuest indicated the killing was unjus- : tifiabie. "The other negro ought to have kept rut of trouble, I manage to keep out of trouble." is the remark credited to .Tones, said to have provoked an at- * . tack on him by Benny DeVane and John Harvey, white, who were shot either while in Jones' yard or on hir ( porch. The shooting resulted in the 'ynching of Jones, according to relia ui~ -..it LMt rtii til'11 I In the lynching: party wore two in ! . soldiers' uniforms, who arrived in El- j ! . laville riding: a government motorcy-j ' cle. These men joined the lynchers, it!" was developed at the coroner's h'>ar-1' I ing, and left the party nt the scene; of Jones' death after the negro had I been Rhot up. They were traced from there to Oglethorpe and Ideal and they went from the latter pl.scp in the direction of Columbus. Their identity has not been established, nor I is it known whether they nrp included in the nine for whom Sheriff Battle i holds warrants charging: murder. 1 Some Log! Hoquaim, Wash., Feb. 16.? An enormous spruce log:. 1ft feet in liameter, believed the largest ever cut in this section, recently was sawed into 16.000 board feet of lumber here. When first put on the saw, the big log broke I the mill machinery and was not cut I until repairs were made. Sometime ago a larger log was f brought, here but no mill mould tackle I it and it was placed in Hoquaim park | for exhibition purposes.

"For the benefit of our customers nd friends we are sending herewith opy of a letter received by us from Ir. \V. C. Bradley, of Columbus, Ga., iving his method of fighting the boll reevil. Mr. Bradley is one of the largest armers in Georgia, and one of the tatc's most successful business men fe has been fighting the pest for the ast ten years, and has succeeded in inking his farms pay. 44 McCord-Stewart Co. Mr. Bradley's Letter. "Beginning with April 1st, during tpril and May we pay for each boll eevil picked from cotton on all our laces, 5c each, during June we pay V-?c each and lc each during July. \*e may these settlements on Satirday of each week, just as we do ther pay rolls. In addition to these we require all enants to pick up and destroy all 'tinctured squares. The amounts we pay our tenants for he boll weevil is charged to their repective accounts and collected for at tie end of the year, ust as we do any ther advances. We have adopted the "Pull-Not" otton for the leason that it does noi. uake a large foliage; our experience icing that the sun is the boll wevil's nost effective enemy, andthat they nultiply when shaded and during uiny weather. We also use the "Tucker Boll Wee- il Machine," made by the Tucker Imdement company; and also powdered alcium arsenic. However, this is ither expensive to apply and we toubt it being a good commercial (reposition when cotton sells below n Oc per pound. ^ We have made an average of eight 11 ales per plow on all of our river ? daces the present year, and several i a f our tenants made 12 to 14 bales per b (low. I am convinced that cotton cannot d >e grown under boll wevil conditions u inless a persistent fight against them li s made commencing with April 1st v >f each year. I do not believe they. b an be successfully fought after Au- g ;ust 1st, but within this period a good A rop can be made. I c (Signed) "W. C.
