ed drive or the FOLLOWING spring.
The first person on construction
work reached Muscle Shoals on No
vember 26, 1917. On February 16,
1918, ground was first broken for a
permanent plant building. On Octo-
Der &c, 1918, eight months and eight
days later, the manufacturing plant
bad begun the production of ammo
mum nitrate.
When America entered the world
war in April, 1917, she had no means
of producing the enormous quantities
of high explosives necessary to pro
vide the huge army she planned to
raise. The very fact that our indus
tries were already worked to capacity
providing ammunition to the allies
seemed to make further production for
our own use impossible.
Fertilizer Process Turned to War Use
At this juncture the Ordnance De
partment turned to cyanamid, com
mercial fertilizer, which had for some
years been produced successfully at
Niagara Falls, by process the Ameri-
can rights Of which were obtained In
1907 from Germany by Frank Sher-
man Washburn, head Of the American
Cyanamid Company.
BY this process cyanamid was pro-
duced by extracting nitrogen from the
air and combining it with calcium OBJ
tanned from limestone rock and carbon
from coke. BY putting cyanamid
through three more processes both am
monia and nitric acid can be extracted
from 1t and combined into the explo-
sive, ammonium nitrate. Mr.. Wash.
burn was invited to present plans and
estimates for the construction in the
shortest possible time of an ammonium
nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. Ala

To have general supervision Of plan
ming and carrying out the work an or.
ganization known as the Air NftrateS
Corporation was formed to act as
agent of the Ordnance Department
This corporation provided the general
designs. supervised all the work and
operated the camp, the town and the
plant. 1t also installed all equipment
in the chemical plant. The various
other sections of the work were sub
let to organizations that were special
lists in the directions in which they
were asked to help.
New City Built From the Ground.
It was necessary to build new
town to house the laborers. For this
lob Westinghouse Church Kerr Com
pany was called in as contractor. This
company also built the buildings of the
chemical plant. 4 Within four months

and a city capable of accommodating
25.oO0 inhabitants had been completed.
with lodging, restaurants, stores, of
fees, police headquarters, schools, fire
departments, hospitals, motion picture
theaters, electric light and sewerage
systems.
The construction Of the plant proper
was begun on February 16, 1918. Just
eight months and eight days later the
big plant began steady output OF am
monium nitrate. The plant contains
113 permanent buildings, with roof
area of over 20 acres.
To provide the electric current II
was necessary to build a steam power
electric plant, for 1t would have taken
three years or more to complete the
dam and hydro-electric station now un-
der way. This plant, built by the ]. G.
White Corporation, is one of the larg'
est steam plants for developing cleo
trical energy in the world.
The output Of the plant Is 300 tons OF
ammonium nitrate day, and this car
be produced at Muscle Shoals at cost
less than one-half the standard fixed
price paid by the Government for am
monium nitrate produced by Other
methods and one-fourth to one-fifth the
cost of other high explosives Of equa
strength. Compares with the Older
process of making ammonium nitrate
the savings made by this plant would
have paid the $60,OO0,000 cost of the
entire plant in about one and one-halt
years of operation.

The High Cost of Living Com
mission is still receiving a great
many complaints about the high
price of sugar. The price of
sugar in the city of Louisville
ranges all the way from lie to
28c per pound. The dealers who
sell the high price sugar claim
that the wholesaler cannot or
will not furnish Eastern sugar
and that they are charging 18c
to Zoe per pound wholesale, for
the Louisiana sugar. We can.
not understand why they cannot
get Eastern sugar at Eastern
prices iu this district. A great
many of the complaints seem to
feel that there is a Justification
somewhere and that the scarcity
of sugar as heretofore suggested
so artifically was for the purpo s
of selling the high price sugar in
this market, therefore the Com
mission has started an investiga-
ton which will reach from Louis
vile through the Press as it de-
velops. We note an erroneous
statement has been circulated
with reference to the Sugar
Board. The Sugar Board still
has jurisdiction over sugar and
sugar prices and we are going to
request that said board take up
the Louisville situation and use
our best endeavors to get Eastern
sugar into this market if the
wholesaler can be induced to
handle it. We do not believe
that it is impossible to get East
ern Sugar that can be sold at
the usual sugar profit, for lie a
pound therefore we are in hopes
of being able to fix price at not
more than 12c within the near
future.
1t is only fair to state that the
retailers, we find from our in

teering in sugar and other staples
but are obliged to pay, in many
cases. these exorbitant prices to
