EOR years this has been our hope

ARcoLA is the practical fulhlment

Coal and Iron, Too
Both coal and iron ore deposits
in the Birmingham district are less

developed beds of ore around Gads-
den are waiting to be tapped.
Limestone of high grade is found
80 miles south, where the govern
ment has opened large quarries.
Sixty miles away at Mt. Pleasant.
Tenn, are immense phosphate beds
which could be made commercially
profitable in connection with the fer
tilizer development.
Two hundred miles south lie the
great long leaf pine forests of south
ern Alabama, Georgia and Missis-
sippi.
The transportation problem is not
difficult. Sheffield, just below the
nitrate plant and dam, is on the
Memphis branch of the Southern rail
road, reaching Memphis, Chatta-
nooga, Knoxville, Washington and
the east.
A Sheffield Birmingham branch of
the Northern Alabama railroad con-
meets directly with Birmingham and
lines south, while a branch line of
the l.. & N. terminates at Florence.
The main line of the L. & N. passes
at Decatur, as miles east.
The Tennessee river is now navl-
gable by boat from st. Louis to the
foot of the dam. When the dam and
locks are completed, river naviga-
ton will be opened to Chattanooga

BY HARRY HUNT

FLORENCE, Ala, Dec. 12.-Just
what is the Muscle Shoals develop
ment, the proposed leasing of which
by Henry Ford has opened to the
South a vision of industrial great
ness and prosperity?
Muscle Shoals is section of the
Tennessee river between Browns
Island and Florence. In the 81 miles
between these two points the river
has a vertical drop of 134 feet.
But 100 feet of this descent is ac'
complished in the Ia miles immedi.
ately above Florence, where the river
is held between high stone walls
three-quarters of a mile apart. The
stream flow here varies between 10,'
900 cubic feet a second in extreme
low water and 100000 cubic feet q
second in flood time.
100000 Fl. p. of Power!
A dam across the river above
Florence, holding back a 100-foot
depth of water, could supply for con.
siderable periods of each year 600,
900 horsepower of energy, 100000
horsepower for approximately nine
months annually and 100000 horse
power at all times.
The annual power would equal the
power derived by burning 6,500,00C
tons of coal under steam boilers.
Given this power, what can bs
done with it?
The great nitrate plant built BY
the government during the war, now
idle and deteriorating, could be orer-
ated to supply cheap nitrate for fer
tilizer manufacture.
This plant, operated at full ca
pacity, would utilize 100000 horse.
power and would produce 10000
tons of ammonium nitrate a year.
This would supply the average
nitrate content for fertilizer foi
more than 100000 acres of farm
land yearly, allowing IS pounds Of
ammonium nitrate-a high average
an acre.

CREAM BRINGS
$lOPER COW In
CASH MONTHLY
Sumter County Woman Finds
+. Profits In Shipments To Ash
burn Creamery

Dairging promises to take on de-
cided interest in Sumter county as
the result of the experience of one
woman who has done the pioneering
in cream shipping here and has just
announced the results - eminently
satisfactory and profitable.
For the last six weeks Mrs. j !. R,
Remington, of Parkers Crossing, be-
tween Huntington and Leslie, has
been shipping the cream from three
COWS to the new creamery at ASH
i'burn. Her pay check for the six
weeks was $45, or SO per month
per COW p g.
The remarkable facts about her
experience were that the cows were
ordinary farm animals, tlonesthat had
been developed for milk of cream
production especially, and they had
not been fed anything other than
what they were able to find for them
selves in the fields where they had
been pastured. The milk was skim
med by hand by Mrs. Remington,
and shipped in 5 gallon cans to the
creamery via the Seaboard. The cost
of shipping 10 cents per 5-gallon can,
making the cream net nearly $5.z5
per can.
Realizing that she was losing from
II to 20 per cent of the cream by
hand skimming as compared with the
efficiency Of q separator, Mrs. Ken
nington has purchased a machine,
which will add about SO per month
to her check for the same milk pro-
duction as shipped the first six weeks
of her test. She has also arranged
to add three more cows to her herd
ard to increase her milk and its quail
ty has begun the feeding of GER
tain amount Of hulls and cotton seed
meal With feed the cream tested
from so to 43 per cent butter fat,
and with meal being fed should test
even higher.
After shipping her cream. Mrs.
Remington had the skinned milk
left for feeding to pigs and poi,l-
try, and was thus able to realize ad-
ditional income from the cows which
will eventually be turned into cash or
its equivalent.
A number Of other Sumter county
people, urged by George o. Mar
shall, county agent, have been plan
ming to begin cream shipments, but
have delayed making the start. Geo.
Waters began collecting cream Sat
urday, and will start shipping this
week.
Scream shipping will provide an
other needed cash market for our sur
plus farm produce" said Mr.. Mar
shall, turning into cash what has
proved Of little money value in the
past. We are. always assured 4
market. The Ashburn creamery ynas
started off well, and is the best place
for US to, ship to now because of its
convenience and low freight rate. but
we have Moultrie and other nearby
points also operating, Columbus will
soon have a plant, and the Selma,
Ala, creameries are ready to take
care of our cream at all time, with
transportation costs the same as to
Ashburn. These creanieties have
been operating successfully several
years and afford US a permanent
market, even should the other fall
