THE NEWS AND FARMER
FORD COULD TURN OUT
THE CALCIUM ARSENATE
If ,lle Had Muscle Shoals
Says Ga. Representative.
Washington, lan. 16—Expressing
the belief that Henry Ford would
manufacture at Muscle Shoals the
calcium arsenate necessary to fight
the boll weevil, Representative
Wright, democrat. Georgia, today
urged the house to expedite action
on the Ford offer which has been
pending for eighteen months.
Mr. Wright said he had taken lip
with Ford representatives the pro
posal that both nitrates and calcium
ars natc be made at Muscle Shoals
and that the Ford people were en
gaged in a study of the possibility
<tt‘ the plan.
“Instead of spending millions for
this chemical,” said Mr. Wright,
“congress should take steps to have
it produced. We are spending
millions of dollars every year to
Chile for nitrates, while a plant
capable of making it cheaply at
Muscle Shoals is idle. A hill deal
ing with it has been reported to
the house by a republican commit
tee and yet not a move lias been
made by congress to forwird its
passage.”
The big ban.ks and trust com
panies, the automobile manufactur
ers, the waterpower interests and
the “fertilizer trust’' were named by
Mr. Wright as those opposing Ford.
Representative James, republican,
Michigan, also urged acceptance < f
lhe Ford offer. Propaganda, lie
said, had been circulated to con
vince the farmer that Ford would
not make fertilizer if he got the
plant. “The farmer is not going to
lie fooled,” said Mr. James. “Their
I representatives saw to it that tin*
hi:! guarantees that fertilizer will he
made and it will he made anil sold
cheaply.”

Dorchester, chairman of tlie finance

Christensen. Beaufort, were appoint- j
cd senate members of the commit- j

Ihe other resolution along this*
line was more sweeping. Introduced |
by Senator Crosson, Lexington, it'
would provide for the appointment
of a joint committee of six members. '

ing an ndminisration building and}
also the feasibility of the state ope-j
rating its own hydro-electric plant,
and the adbisability of building a

a bridge, at the Gervias Street cross-|
ing of the Congaree River. Consid

duled for today.
Wightman Resolution.
Without opposition, the house ap
proved the Wightman resolution for
an investigation of the management
and control of the pentilentiary and
the control of convicts, and Speaker
McMillan appointed Representatives
Hamer, Hanohan and Norwood as
house members of the investigating
committee. Senate members have
not yet been appointed.
The senate advanced to the third
reading of the Christensen-Lightsey
bill for an emergency appropriation
to regulate the expenditures of the
state departments from the first of
; the year to the passage by the gen
eral assembly of the annual appro
priation act. The vote was unani
mous.
Ex-Governor Harvey's veto of a
bill to exempt a certain portion of
Dorchester from the provisions of
the state stock law to December 51st,
1922. was sustained by the senate
by an 18 to 6 vote. This bill had
been passed on to Governor Har
vey by Governor Cooper.
Senator Christensen, rising to a
point of personal privilege, told the
senate he was surprised when he
learned that the senate had killed a
resolution, of which he was joint
author with Senator Lightscy, to
provide for a reduction in the
number and pay of legislative em
ployes, on a day when he could not
be present. After discussion of the
manner in which the resolution was
put to death, by the adoption of
a majority unfavorable report sub
mitted by the finance committee,
Senator Gross, who assumed respon
sibility for the death of the measure
asked unanimous consent for a mo
tion to consider, in order that the
Beaufort senator might slate his
position. Senator Bonham, of Green
ville, however, objected to the pro
posal and the motion could not be
put.
In the house, a resolution was in
troduced very much like the Chris
tensen-Lightsey measure killed by
the senate. It provided for a re
duction in number of legisltive em
ployes and attaches, and a reduction
in pay for those retained, amount
ing to 75 per cent, approximately.

The allies are described as vitally
interested in the attempt to main

on some important points. They in
sisted that all Greeks in Turkey, ex

Greeks, whether followers of the
Orthodox church or Homan Catholic,
must go; also those who have ac

that the real boundary of western
