and the packers of sweet corn has
been very successful from our stand
point and the members Of the as
ISOLATION arc to be congratulated on
and feel well satisfied with the stand
they took in defense of their own in
terests. If the small percentage Of
blacksliders had remained with the
majority of growers. the packers
would have been obliged to pay the
four cents per pound for corn asked
for; and as it was. the packers did
pay one-half cent per pound more
than they would have, had it not been
for the firm stand taken by our mem
bers
Our members are now being urged
to await the annual meeting of the
association and the local and county
organizations before making any
contracts for next season. This will
enable the association to ascertain
the exact cost of production during
the present season and get the wish
es and desires Of the individual mem
bers. thus enabling us to fairly and
intelligently represent the majority Of
the growers. We will then be ready
for conference with tho packers.
I'VE do not Of course now know
whether or not the packers will wish
a conference, but as it seems assured
that they will not carry over a can of
sweet corn into 1922 and Judging
from their reported activity. they are
DESTROYS of larger planting next sea
son. No question exists in the minds
of the associations officers that the
members will stand together as to
the coming season, as they did for
the one Just past-in that case, we
may confidently look for an even
more advantageous season for the
growers"

ADJUSTMENTS
NOLOST YOUTH
IN MERCHANTS
LATEST PLAY

No matter whether or not man
thinks he is growing old, he is sure
to find something that will interest
him and hold him in Conrad in
Quest of His Youth" the William
DeMille Paramount prod It
which opens for a two days stay at
| the Augusta Opera house today.
Conrad in Quest of His Youth"
was written by Leonard Merrick, one
of the most representative of con-
temporary British authors. He has
written numerous short stories and
! novels and his pen is still busy. Con
lad in Quest of His Youth" is regard
ed as one of the most fascinating of
all novels and as a feature photo
play it has every element that makes
an entertainment more than worth
while.
One reviewer in speaking Of this
picture said:
Have you ever felt the corroding
effects of time? Do you feel old at
thirty five or whereabouts? Have you
lost your youth? If so, how are you
to regain it? If you don't know you
should see Thomas Meighan in his
latest William DeMille Paramount
picture. Conrad in Quest of His
YOUTH"
The picture is delightful and not
only does the hero again regain the
state of being he seeks, but no spec
tator who is becoming old can view
the picture without feeling younger.
The recipe for youth, as discovered
by Conrad is not the tabled elixir,
nor does it lie in physical culture,
but in love. After vainly endeavor-
ing to relive his past romances,
Conrad falls in love and with the
realization that he is in love, comes

Margaret Loomis is leading woman

ture there will be a two-reel com

MAKING THE MOST OF NIAGARA
BY Robert G. Skerreh

into the currents sweeping onward
and over the two Falls. According
to the engineering estimates, two tun-
nels can be cut and turbo-generators
placed and made ready for service
within an interval of two and half
years.
Today, in the vicinity of Niagara
Falls it costs anywhere from $40 to
500 to generate by steam a horse
power year. If we strike an average,
and call the outlay $50 per annum,
it should be manifest that an
economy of $120,00O,O00 in coal con-
sumption may be effected while add
ing tremendously to the power avail
able for industrial and other purposes.
If it be assumed that horsepower
year in the run of steam plants calls
for the burning of eight tons of coal,
then the substitution of hydroelectric
energy will save each twelve months
quite 100000 tons of fuel which,
otherwise, would have to be mined
and transported from the nearest
fields, those in Pennsylvania.
1t is pertinent to emphasize here
that in Buffalo, only about Is miles
distant from Niagara Falls, big pub
lie service electric company develops
two-thirds or its current at present by
means of steam, and it is obliged to
do this because it cannot obtain all of
its energy from the comparatively
nearby hydroelectric plants. Think of
it, there within stones throw, so to
speak, of the thunderous waters of the
Falls, this concern has to rely upon
coal to generate $4,000 out of the
100000 horsepower needed by its
customers. Thirty years ago, the popu-
lation of Buffalo was 100000 and
is now 505,875, an increase of 1913
per cent owing principally to the in
Auence of the availability of hundreds
of thousands of horsepower in the
form of electrical energy.
Indeed, electricity is playing its
part throughout a wide zone lying
around Niagara Falls-the primary
source of power. Syracuse is draw
ing current from that point, 100
miles away, and the loss in transmits
sion is less than 10 per cent at vol
tage of 10000. Using a potential of
10000 volts, the Canadians are dis
tributing current nearly ESQ miles;
and by raising this pressure to 22O,-
600 volts, the radius of distribution
could be heightened to 500 miles. I'm
der existing conditions, the five pio-
neer companies located at the Falls
are developing $4,000 horsepower;
and it is a matter of common know
ledge what this has brought about in
the realm of electrochemical indus
tries. Visualize, then, what momen-
tous evolutions in our productive
capacity would be made possible if a
million and a half more of motive
current were at hand!
Four years ago, in the State of New
York alone, the power requirements
totaled something more than 3,OOO,-
600 horsepower, and the demand was
then increasing under normal circum-
stances at the rate of 100000 horse
-S2z.
The mirror., 1921-09-01
THAT the Niagara river is not
yet furnishing sufficient electri-

yet furnishing Sufflclent eleCtrl-
cal energy to meet existing re-
quirements is evidenced by the
Oueenston-C Chippawa development
now being pushed to completion on
the Canadian side of the international
stream. AS recently described in the
Scientific American, the plan is to
generate at the start 100000 horse
power and, later on, 472,50O horse
power. Recognizing the prospective
greater demands for electricity in the
course of the next few years, the pro-
jects discussed in the current issue are
of timely interest. In the order of
their preference, they are first, dam
a few miles below the Falls which
will make use of the full flow of the
river, and, second, an installation at
Goat Island which, of necessity,
would have to absorb waters that
might diminish the impressiveness
of the present Falls.
So says the editor of the lScientifc
American in an editorial note on an
article in the Scientific American with
the title Making the Most of Nj
agara." Rogert G. Skerrett furnishes
the text herewith reproduced.
As everybody knows, Niagara Falls
is a natural wonder of beauty and
power over which the nature lovers
and the commercial interests have
been fighting for years. The article
follows:
The Niagara river will inevitably
be utilized more extensively than
now for the development of hydro
electric energy. The rush of those
descending waters must be put to
greater practical service wherever
feasible without seriously impairing
the scenic beauty of the Falls. Upon
both of the governments concerned the
people are making insistent demands
for bigger blocks of power, and the
authorities are listening sympathetic
cally because of the logical promise
of vast savings through the cores
ponding non-use of coal. No fewer
than ten projects for water rights on
the Niagara river have been filed with
the United States federal power COM
mission, and among them are two
that are sufficiently matured to war
rant discussion.
Both of these contemplated hydro
electric propositions may we'll be con-
sidered as a single coordinated system,
for they have been conceived and
espoused by the same men, |. e., T.
Kennard Thomson, c. E., of New
York City, and Peter A. Porter, of
Niagara Falls. The dual project en-
braces first, the boring of tunnels
through the massive foundation of
Goat Island so that water may be led
through them to large turbo-genera-
tors located near the river level on
the downstream end of the island,
and, next, the rearing of dam
squarely athwart the river at point
42-3 miles below the Falls, thus sub
merging the present Rapids. The
Goat island tunnels would lie wholly
on American territory, but the dam
would stretch from shore to shore in
the Gorge and be international in
character. However, the citizens of
this country would benefit by both of
these engineering undertakings.
