Buy at home and thereby keep
our wealth in circulation where it
can come back. Remember that
everybody in Franklin are linked
together in common cause. and
an injury inicted upon one in
dustry contributes that much to
the whole fabric. Keep your
money at home by spending it
with home people. Every clerk,
mechanic and every laborer, are
interested and benefited when
you deal with home people. 1t IS
true that some things can be
bought from mail order houses q
little cheaper than from the local
business man, but the mail order
houses contributes nothing to
your welfare, and every dollar
rent away means that much mis-
fortune breated against your
neighbors, which is much more
than the difference saved. The
Waterman is in that game. We
spend every cent this establish
ment earns among our home peo-
pie but some of our business men
send away for printing that can
be better executed in Franklin.
This action has not hurt us. that
we know about, but those who do
it. had better watch the rebound,
for it delivers blow equal to the
south end Of a mule in action

FORD MAKESOFFER
ON NITRATE PLANT
AT MUSCLE SHOALS
Secretary Hoover Says
Bid Is Question for
Congress to Decide.

A proposal by Henry Ford for
the utilization of the Muscle Shoals
nitrate plant was transmitted by
Secretary of Commerce Hoover yes
terday to Secretary of War Weeks.
The negotiations grew out of rep
resentations made to the Depart
ment of Commerce by the Mississippi
Valley Association, the Tennessee
Valley, Association and the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation. that
some use should be made of the
property. The government already
has expended IS, ,O0o.o 900 on the prof.
ect. Conferences on the subject have
been held by Assistant Secretary
Of Commerce Huston with Mr.. Ford,
with the approval of Secretary of
War Weeks. ...-.
The principal points in Mr. Ford's
offer are:
Estimate. Cost s2S.O0o. 200.
1. He will take a 1o0-year lease
on the Wilson dam and No. dam
and electric installation when COM
pleted. This work is estimated to
cost s2s.ooo. 900. After a short pre-
liminary period, Mr. Ford proposes
to pay interest at-the rate of s
per cent on the sum of $2S.000. 900
and to amortize not only this sum.
but the entire cost of both dams
over a period of 100 years.
2. To purchase all the nitrate plant
and equipment, lands, steam plant.
etc. for s5.00o.ooo. :
q. To convert and operate the
large nitrate plant (No. p for the
production of fertilizer compounds
and as a standby for government
explosives in case of war, and to
keep 1t up to date in both arts.
&. To limit the profits of the fer
tilizer plant to per cent, an in
dependent board embodying repre-
sentatives of the American Farm
Bureau Federation and the Nationar
Grange, sand the Farmers Union to
certify this maximum
Would Use Excess Power.
The completion of these works
makes the Tennessee navfgabfe to
Chattanooga. and there are under
takings by Mr.. Ford. for maintaining
the locks. etc. The power deyel-
oped will ultimately greatly exceed
the requirements of the fertilizer
plant. and Mr.. Ford proposes to
use 1t in his own business. In order
to meet the annual payments pro-
posed, very large use of powar
must be made outside the fertilizer
works.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
made the following comment:
The acceptance of the offer is
matter for decision by Congress And
that body will no doubt be greatly
guided by Secretary Weeks views
in the matter. Mr. Ford has made
a genuine proposal. 1t shows cour-
age to agree to pay out $4,000, geo;
to spend further sums upon large
works and besides to take an an
nual obligation for about $500, 900
for 100 years and to agree to main
tain a nitrate plant in reserve for
the government for that period.
Whatever may be the result, Mr.
Ford's offer does prove what the
public associations have contended
that the completion Of this project
has commercial value.

Strawberry Good Cash Crop
In Tennessee

Farmers who are looking for q cash
crop TO add to their cropping system
should consider the strawberry says
Charles A. Keffer. Director. Division
of Extension, University of Tennessee,
Tennessee 10 one of the largest pro
ducing states of early Strawberries and
where 1t has become well established
in the farm operation, as in the Hum
boldt and Dayton district. two of the
largest producings sections Of the state
the experiences Of the growers may be
considered as guide for future plant.
ings, However, Director Keffer states
that there are districts in the state
where the strawberry has not been SC
extensively grown, but where the cd
aptability Of the region to the crop has
been fully established, and ia these re
gions there can be no question as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of greater increased plant
ings.
TIE strawberry is ready for market
10 May when few other sources of
money are available. 1t requires about
the same cultivation as corn or cotton,
and so prevents no new tillqge pro-
blems. 1t can be harvested by women
and children aud thus presents special
advantages to the man of large family
The original cost is small, which is
something in its favor, especially to the
poor man. And it has become star
dard crop for which selling facilities
have been worked cut and the cash is
soon in the hands of the grower.
One should remember that the straw
berry requirments are just about the
same as corn-the better the soil the
bigger the crop. 1t is mistake to as
sumo that strawberries can be grown
profitably on poor land. 1t takes land
that will produce ten barrels Of corn
per acre to make good crop Of straw
berries-say LOO crates per acre. And
10 addition to fertile soil the straw
berry, like corn, must have good cult
walton to produce profitable crop.
There is no money in five barrels Of
corn per acre. neither is there profit In
so crates of strawberries per acre at
the average prices. So the farmer
who is planting strawberries for the
first time should start right. Give 1t
good soil and good tilliage.
Reports coming to the Division Of
Extension Indicate that the strawberry
crops will be increased to some extent
this year. Several county agricultural
agents are putting on compaigns for
greater production in their counties and
are meeting with splendid success. 1t
is believed that the farmers will profit
by the growing of this crop.
