FORD SKOALS BSD
Washington. April 2T».— Speaking
during a general debate this after
noon on another bill, Congressman
W. C. Lankford, of the eleventh
Georgia district’ made a strong ap
peal for the completion of the origi
nal Muscle Shoals project, and for
the acceptance by the government of
the Henry Ford offer. The Georgian
spoke as follows:
"During the world wor the United
States began nnd carried far toward
completion a great development at
Muscle Shoals, at tremendous cost,
for the great purpose umong others
of obtaining nitrogen from the air
for war purposes in time of war and
for use in fertilizer in peace times.
"Everyone wos much in favor of
the enterprise during the war. The
enterprise would have been pushed
to fullest capacity had the war lasted
Work would he immediately renew
ed should war start again. All agree
Muscle Shoals, if finished, w uld be
very valuable in a future war and
would probably be worth more than
many mighty battleships and millions
of trained men, for these are of no
value without ammunation. Why
has the development stopped so sud
denly? The answer must be apparent
to everyone. There is a strong com
bination in and out of congress
which does not want the plant ope
rated by the government or any pri
vate enterprise for the benefit of the
agricultural interests. There can’t
be any other reason. All favor it
for war purposes. The opposition
arose after the war. The develop
ment was suddenly stopped only
when it became apparent that nitro
gen was soon to be furnished at re
duced prices for agricultural pur
poses.
“Man in congress have said on
this floor that they would be willing
for the Work to be finished if assured
it would be shut down and not ope
rated for the agricultural interests
or if they could be assured it would
be sold or leased to some private
enterpirse to be operated for private
gain. Those opposing the develop
ment do not want cheaper nitrogen
for farmers. They would be glad
for Muscle Shoals to be owned and

"Henry Ford’s proposition does not
appeal to the monopolistic concerns
which desire to either have the Mus

and ‘junked’ or owned by them. His
proposition does not appeal to the
farmers and those who are suffering
because of the high price of nitrogen
which is so essential an ingredient in

principally from Chile at an exor-

lack of moisture at this time. After
the rain the weather turned cooler
and has been unfavorable for the
'rapid germation of seeds and the
[growth of crops that are already up.
In the northern division planting
was again interrupted and very little
has been accomplished, but planting
is progressing rapidly in the central
and southern division. Cotton, corn,
peanuts, sorghum, rice and other
crops that are up are doing fairly
well, though not making rapid
growth. Gardens, pastures, melons,
and most other crops in the south
need rain. There is a large acreage
in melons, both watermelons and
cantaloupes, and they are growing
nicely, but need warmer weather.
Winter cereals are suffering more
from rust, than for several years,
and the drought in injurious. Har-
vesting early oats has begun in the
extream southern counties. Apples
and peaches are generally in good
condition, although peaches arc
dropping considerably. Irish potatoes
need rain. Sugar-cane is doing un
usually well.

in the capitol that Judge Walter F.

times, spoken of as a the "general"
of the murch against Logan,’ but
denying that he took any part in the
August 1921, disoredr, will go on
trial for treason tomorrow in the
circuit court in Jefferson county.
That was the result of a day replete
with legal question, during which
Judge J. M. Woods gave a long de
cision overruling the demurrer of
defendants in the “march’’ on Bliz-
ard as the first defenzdant were
then provided for.
Judge George W. McClintic to

st union activities in the Winding
Gulf field, decreed that a.temporary
injunction “would remain in effect
until fprther orders from his court"
Judge McClintic’s decision overruled
and refused the motion to dismiss
the temporary order and was based
on th<j findings that a conspiracy be
tween/ the international union and
opera/trs of the central compatitive
fields had existed since 1898.

that starts out married life with a nice bank account has peace of

The bank account is assurance that the added costs that come
with married life will be taken care of even if tho income is tem
porarily curtailed by illness, business depression or other cause.
And isn’t that sufficient cause for happiness?
