ELECTRIC Plant ll
y Cnulnn r>rrn

The power with which the Jour
nal is published this week comes
from the new power house of the
Dillsboro and Sylvia Electric Com
pany on the Tuckaseigee river.
The work Of constructing the dam
and installing the machinery has
been in progress for about year.
The current was turned on Wtdnes-
day.
The towns of Dillsboro and Sylvia
are furnished with power from this
plant as are the C. j. Harris Tan
merry, the Sylvia Lumber and Manu-
featuring Company and the manu-
featuring enterprises at Dillsboro.
Since the dam on SCOTS creek
gave way during the spring floods
last year. the electric current has
been generated at the Tannery at
SYLVIA and the Power Company has
done it's utmost to meet the de-
mands under adverse circumstances.
Now the completion of the dam
at Dillsboro removes the difficulties
and the power supply will lbe ample
tomeet the demands of the two
towns and the manufacturing en-
terprises.

The Florida Times-Union interest
ingly suggests that if every ear OF
corn or head of wheat raised in the
United States this year should contain
one grain more than those OF the last
harvest, ear for ear and head for

it's wealth would be greatly increased
without additional acreage or labor.
Careful seed selection and scientific
cultivation the Times-Union adds,

The fact is that very result is now
