To Our Correspondents
It is almost a weekly occurr
ence that we receive communica
tions from different section of
the county, sometimes contain
ing good news matter but more
often of personal and local na-{
ture, signed, ‘‘Blue Eyes,”” ‘‘Pug
Nose,’ete., but to which is sign
ed no name.
Those who write this matter
and are looking over the paper,
should this meet their eye, will
know the reason that their mat
ter is left out for we will posi
tively not publish anything of
an anonymous natcre, nor will
we publish matter that contains
no news and that is too personal.
Qur idea is to give the news
that is of interest, news that
tends to entertain and improve
our readers. Remember this in
sending it in and to sign your
name thereto, else it will go to
the office goat.

SITE PICKED FOR
PECAN STATION
Old Ally Place in the East
Central Part of Lee
County, Near Leesburg,
Selected by Bureau of
Plant Industry
The old Ally place, in the east
icentral part of Lee County,
eleven miles northeast of Lees
!burg, has been selected by the
Bureau of Plant industry as a
gite for the Pecan Experiment‘
Station authorized under thel
amendment of the Appropriations
bills secured by Senator Wm. J.
Harris, of Georgia.
The place is the property of the
estate of the late Sam Brown
and the late A. W. Muse, and
was tendered by Paul J. Brown,
son of the former, who carried
out the wishes of his father and
Mr. Muse, who were working to
bring the station to the Albany
district. The Alley place is well
situated for the station having
amples buildings, being accessi
ble to a railroad and to an im
proved highway, having an
artesian well and !possessing
numerous bearing pecan trees
and having soil suited to the
experimental purposes planned.
Experts who will haye charge
of the station were quoted by
Senator Harris, who was in Al
bany recently, as saying that
not only will the station work
to combat insect enemies of the‘
pecan crop, but that new varie
ties will be developed and that
experiments will be made to
show that a pecan tree can be
bronght to bearing in four years,
instead of waiting from seven to
ten years, as is now the case.

seriously wounded Jim Nathan,

THE FALL GARDEN.
Almost every family, through
this section, has a spring garden
and is from it supplied vegetables
for early summer use, though
but few have a good fall garden.
Nothing pays a better dividend
on the money and energy ex
pended than a good garden, not
to mention the luxury of having
fresh vegetables at hard for con
sumption.
It is getting time for all to
begin thinking of the fall garden,
and though it possibly requires
more attention to make than the
spring garden, yet coming in at
a time when vegetables are scarce
it undoubtedly pays the difference
in its furnishing to the table.
Get your land ready now, for
it is just about time to plant
Irish potatoes, which, planted
about August Ist will make a
fair crop. Use Lookout Moun
tain, Green Mountain or cold
storage seed of Irish Cobbler or
other varieties to plant.
Put out tomatoes, which will
bear until frost, when the vines
may be pulled up and placed in
protected place for all fruit to
ripen.
Snap beans do well planted
now, the best varieties being
Extra Early Refugees, Valentine,
ete.
Lettuce, spinach, mustard,
rape endine, ete., may be plant
ed latter part of August or early
September.
Sow cabbage and collards now
and when plants are large enough
transplant to the field.
Turnips, carrots, beets,
radishes, parsnips, may be sown
in September.
Onions of all varieties can be
put out late in July or Augut and
will make good growth in fall,
affording green onions for winter
use, while they can be put outas
late as October or November to
make onions for spring.
Make your soil for all crops
rich with stable manure, poultry
manure and with some commer
cial fertilizers, if necessary.

CONGRESSMAN
CHAS. R. CRISP
Very Optimistic Regarding
Award of Muscle Shoals
To Henry Ford.
' Hon. Chas.R. Crisp, congress
‘man from this district, was in-1
terviewed recently by the editor
on the question of the award of
Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford,
one of the outstanding and vital
questions of the hour, In simple
tetms he outlined Mr. Ford’s
bid and propospal, as follows:
“I am in hopes that eyentually
the Government will enter a
lease with Ford, The Secretary
of War and certain Wall street
interests and the fertilizer com
panies are very much opposed to
Ford’s having this lease, favor
ing the Alabama Power Com
pany’s bid. The latter is a
Canadian corporation and would
not manafacture fertilizer nor
enter into any manufacturing
business, but would want the
plant for the purpose of selling
hydro electric horse power to
Memphis, Birmingham, Nashville
and Chattanooga.
“I am very anxious for Ford
to have the lease, for I believe
it will mean much for the South
and the entire Nation.”
“The project was first started
during the war as a National
prosposition so as to furnish the
government with nitro for war
purposes. Before the war our
supply of nitrates came from
Chili and the German submarine
warfare prevented any of it
reaching the United States, so it
became necessary for the Govern
ment to manufacture nitrogen
from the air So this Muscle Shoals
project was started and the
Government has expended about
$90,000,000 there. They have
two nitrate plants and Ford
agrees if the power is leased to
him to maintain one of the nitrate
plants in shipshape, without be
ing used, without expense to the
gavernment, so as to turn it over|
to the government at a moments
notice, if the government desiresl
it for national purposes. Hel
agrees to operate the other plant|
at full capacity for the manufac
ture of nitrogen to sell the
farmers at only 8 per cent profit
over the cost of production. Hel
agrees that the farmers organis
zation can appoint a committee
and have access to his books at
all times to see that he does not
charge over 8 per cent profit over
the manufacture of this fertilizer.
Experts testified before the
Military Affairs Committee that
he could probably sell it to the
farmers at half the price they
are paying for it now. There
can be manufactured at either
one of these plants 40,000 tons of
pure nitrate every year, which is
the equivalent of 250,000 tons of
Ethe Chilean nitrate and this
nitrate made up into commercial
fertilizer will make about 2,000,-
000 tons. Thisis the normal use
of nitrate in the United States
or fertilizer purposes.”’
“The Chilean government
levies an export duty of $lO 00 a
ton on its nitrate. So if we con
tinue to buy nitrate from Chili,
our farmers will vearly contri
bute to them about $2,500,000 in
duty and contrbiute millions to
he ship owners, whereas Ford
if given this lease, will save the
farmers this enormous expense.”’
“If the Ford proposition is
accepted it will open up to navi
gation a stretch of 400 miles of

Rivers, which are now non-navi

Muscle Shoals—4oo miles through
an agricultural section filled with
coal, slate, phosphate, iron ore,
sulphur, silica, ocre, ete.”’
“They can develop 150,000
horse power at low water and
1,000,000 horse power at high
water with an average of 600,000
horsepower, which of course will
permit them to sell power for
lighting and manufacturing pur
poses to nearby cities at a very
cheap rate. If Ford gets it he
will put in manufacturing enter
prises and will give employment
to thousands of people and add
very much to the wealth of the
nation. The tax payers would
then be saved about $400,000 per
year, which they are now paying
to guard and care for this idle
property.”’
“I am in hopes that ultimately
Ford will be given this lease.
The Representatives from the
South are almost toa man in
favor of it and we are being as
sisted by a number of represen
tatives from the western agricnl
tural states and I hope thay the
merits of the proposition will so
appeal to the people of the United
States that they will demand of
their representatives that they
lease the property to Ford. The
various farmer’s organizations
out west aresupporting the Ford
offer and they are having a very
favorable influence on the
Western populace.”’
Mr. Crisp isa man of whom
our district and Georgia as well,
is proud, for he is one of the
truly, good and freat men of
Congress, where at all times he
is ever alert to the interest of the
people and where he is recogniz
ed by his colleagues as a leader
whose ideas are always weighty
and right.
