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.

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. S. Department of v

i Amcricua. (la.. Fob. 15.?Sheriff Tt
I K. 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

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

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.

In Boll Weevil Fight
McCord-Stewart Co., of Atlanta,
la., wholesale grocers, importers and
lanufacturers, Vas sent out the fol>wing
to their customers, and may
e read with profit by farmers of
fnion county:
"Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10, 1922.
"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
