CONGRESSMAN STOLL AT MUSCLE SHOALS; SAYS GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUT THE PROJECT UP TO MR. FORD. i Washington, April 4.?Representative Philip H. Stoll of the Sixth South Carolina district who was a member of the joint congressional committee that investigated the Muscle Shoals plant last week, says that what the comm;ttee learned in its five days mission was a revelation. Mr. Stoll i" ronfident the committee can now, if it desires, intelligently and wisely instruct congress what to do with Muscle Shoals. Some members of the committee went down there hardly believing that Muscle Shoals was worth the trip and that every proposition to lease the plant was only a graft scheme to make money out of the government. The fact was, said Mr. Stoll, the committee as a whole had no real conception of the possibilities of this enterprise. When the congressmen arrived at site No. 3 and saw the Tennessee river at that point over a mile wide with tjie flow of an immense volume of wa^r their eyes were opened. For weeks these men had been pouring over figures about the capacity of Muscle Shoals and listening to the various propositions of what could be done there. Now they beheld at their feet the stupendous power of the river and its possibilities. They lifted the:r brows in astonishment. Every on?j of them realized at once what immense assets the American people and the government possessed in this Alabama enterprise. V The first thought of perhaps a ma * jonty oi tne commiuee was mat utc government should complete dam No. 2 befo -e any disposition by lease or sale to private individuals should be made. Mr. Stoll believes that course would be a serious mistake on the part of the government for the rea. ?on that it would take three years to complete dam No. 2 and the opportunity to lease the plant on such advantageous terms as Mr. Ford might now be induced to offer would be lost Mr. Stoll believes that perhaps a majority of the military affairs committee of the house is now convinced that the wisest course for congress would be to lease the plant at once and let the lessee complete the dam as soon as possible. Mr. Ford could save both much time and money in finishing the work. He could be giving the farmers cheap fertilizer and the industries cheap powder under an immediate lease much sooner than these results could be had by waitinr thrae vears to finish the prelimi mary w jrk. In view of this situation Mr. Stoll will make an effort to have the committee brins; a bill into the house to least; the plant to Mr. Ford. In the bill Mr. Ford will be asked to buy the government's interest in the Gorgas' plant in which the Alr.bama Power Company has an interlocking interest. Mr. Stoll believes the Gorgas plant is not an absolute requisite to the furnishing of power to complete the Wilson dam. Plant No. 2 can now generate 60,000 horsepower and with a little work it could be increased to 120,000 horsepower. But Mr. Ford should be asked to take the government's interest in the Gorgas plant. If a bill offering to lease the plant to Mr. Ford is introduced in the house, where it can be amended, it will serv e to test the sincerity of Mr. Ford and clear this whole Muscle Shoals atmosphere. Half a Million Strong. < Half s million farmers are advancing to prosperity in the constantly swelling ranks of the army of cooperative marketing. Over 120,000 tobacco farmers have now joined the two great marketing organizations of the hurley and the tri-state associations. With campaigns under way to increase the successful sign-up of the Carolina and Virginia growets, and tc organize the dark tobacco planters oi Kentupky, the number of organized tobacco growers may reach 200,000 within the next six months. Meanwhile, the successful organization of cotton farmers in the great marketing association of Oklahoma, Texas and other southern states, the progress of the wheat growers towards the same goal and the continued success of the co-operative exchanges of California growers makes a great army of American farmers who are now organized to save our country life by their combined ability tc secure a living wage for tne labor and products of the farm.?Tri-State Tobacco Grower.

Clemson College.?It is evident that the farmers of South Carolina are spending thousands of dollars in the purchasing of different machines, ex-1 terminators, and patened methods of boll weevil control simply upon the authority of statements made by the agents who are selling them, says Director W. W. Long, who feels sure that millions of dollars have been absolutely thrown away in this manner j by the farmers of the southern states as the boll weevil has made its advances through the cotton belt, by purchasing contrivances and materials that failed to do what was claimed for them. Clemson College makes this offer to all the agents who arc selling boll weevil exterminators, catchers and patented methods of boll weevil control; that if such agents will submit their machines and patented methods to the experts of the United States Department of Agriculture, in the event that the experts of the United States Department of Agricolture and Clemson College find them meritorious and cpnsequentiy are willing after sufficient trial to advise farmers to make the purchase of any of these exterminators, catchers or methods of control, Clemson College will at once use all its power and influence through the public press and through all of its agencies, to call to the attention of the people the success of any exterminator or catcher or method of control, thus eliminating the expenses on the part of the manufacturers or patentees in the hiring of agents and the large sum expended for advertising and other necessary expenses in bringing their machines or products to the attention of the farmers of South Carolina. If these agencies have what they claim, they will be glad of the oppor tunity of having the college and the United States government to become in the last analysis their advertising and sales agents. If there are any 1._ - am / companies or agents onering iur saie machines and remedies for the control of the boll weevil who are not willing for the government to pass upon the efficiency of their machines and methods, the fact should raise a reasonable doubt in the minds of farmers as to the wisdom of investing in their so-called machines and methods of control of the boll weevil. Products Being Standardized by Home Demonstration Women. One of the most significant pieces of work being done in South Carolina is the large sale of 4-H butter, which product is being sold through the South Carolina Home Producers' Association. Most of this butter is being handled by the Palace Market, Taylor street, Columbia. It is shipped in from the different counties and inspected before it is put on the market It is made by the home demonstration club women who liave taken dairy work under the supervision of the home demonstraa-? j- ? ? uon uairy spcuimiou. In the beginning only very small shipments were made. These ship- . ments rapidly became larger as the demand became greater, until last week, when the shipment totaled 138 pounds. Our customer aaid that since she had been buying 4-H butter she could not keep any in the ' house. She laughed and remarked, , "it is too good to keep." The home demonstration department is trying to develop every pos- . sible home enterprise which will furnish paying products to market. In commenting on this feature of our work, Mr. 0. B. Martin of the 'Washington Department, recently , said: "We are just beginning to de- i velop the resources of the farms ! and farmsteads. When the agents, J the colleges and the department fo- \ cus their attention on standardizing 1 the products which may be sold in 1 winter as well as in summer, the j club markets of the state will be j busy throughout the year. I am i confident that there is much yet to do in standardizing and packing . vegetables, fruits, meats and many other things which our people buy ; on the markets within the state."?
