talents and it was largely due to
his energy and genius that the
Bank of Western Carolina has

HENRY FORD

er Seeks to Develop
Mighty Power Plant

Washington. July Henry
Ford has initiated negotiations
for acquisition Of the 500, ,O00,-
900 government plants at Muscle
Shoals and for the power to be
generated following the compile
ton of the Wilson dam.
While the offer of the Detroit
manufacturer is as yet tentative,
it is in such state Of development
that according to reports 1t might
be made public in the near iu-
ture. 1t is understood that MI
Ford will offer to acquire the Two
cyanamide plants at cost ap-
proximating $10,O0O,OGO and TO
lease the prospective waterpoWer
for period Of so years or more.
1t will be a fundamental principle
of the contract. it is understood.
that Mr.. Ford will guarantee TO
charge for power electric current
and fertilizer a price not to ex,
ceed 10 per cent above actual
cost. The lease Of power Will
give the government a reason
able return on it's Investment
Thirty million dollars will be re-
uuired to complete the dam. Inc
secretary of war has agreed to
recommend the appropriation Of
taal sum provided responsible
people guarantee satisfactory
return.
In addition to power electric
current and fertilizer it is the re-
ported plan OF Mr.. Ford to oper~
ate at Muscle Shoals a Southern
unit of his automobile factory
and serve a vast territory at the
Detroit price, less transportation
charges. 1t is understood, too.
that he would deevlop a new
tractor which be hopes eventual
Iy to produce so cneaply that II
will be used generally on the
farms of the United States. MI
Ford is represented in Washing
ton at the present time by agents.
S. Worthington, Washington rep
resentative of the Tennessee VAL
lev Improvement association. has
lust returned to Washington from
a weeks consultation with MI
Ford.
Muscle Shoals power will be suf-
fciently great to turn the Wneels
of industry in and light the
south and to electrify steel mills
and furnaces. Ni1rogenous ter
tilizer can be produced Ill such
quantities and at such cost as TO
make it available to the poorest
farmers, to make the south, II is
claimed. as rich as The basin

The figures for domestic animals
in 1910 are not very closely com
parable with those for 1920, since
the present census was taken IN
January. before the breeding sea
son had begun. while the 1910
census was taken in April. or
about the middle Of the breeding
season. and included many spring
calves. colts. etc.
