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

PATENTED WEEVIL REMEDIES, j
Much Money Wasted on Such Device
Says Director Long.
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."? '
