er direction. While we believe that
Mr.. Ford is fundamentally wrong in
a number of the things he does and
says, there is none who can challenge
the actuality of his achievements. A
man who dreams dreams, he has the
ability and the resources to make
them real. The coming of Ford to the
South, with the vast enterprise he
contemplates, would mean infinitely
more in the immediate industrial de.
velopment of the South than anything
else that can possibly happen. It
would be an event of world renown,
and in its influence on opinion, on
faith in the South and as a stimulus
to greater effort on the part of all
the forces now working for develop
ment in the South, it would exert
power illimitable.
The South must by all means take
of this opportunity.-Man-

Smoking Meat After Curing.

| r',5-Ii \. HL u p . ) ? . .
Clemson College, Dec. 5.-Follow-
ing the instructions given recently
on curing meat by the brine meth
Cd and the dry method, the sugges-
tions given below on smoking meat
after curing may beNof interest and
value to many farmers, says E. G.
1Godbey, assistant professor of ami
NAL husbandry.
After the meat is cured, wash it
thoroughly with lukewarm water and
hang in the smoke house for smok-
ing. Hang the pieces of meat so that
they will not touch but will permit
a free circulation of air. After the
meat has been hanging "a hours,
start the smoke, using hickory, ma
pie or some hard wood. Corn cobs
will do but they give the meat a dir
ty appearance.
Don't get the meat too hot. Let
the fire start slowly and keep it well
smothered. Thirty-six to 4s hours
smoking is sufficient, but in hot
weather it is better to start a total
of 60 hours.
Smoked meat, after it is hard and
firm, should be wrapped in heavy pa
per and put in muslin sack. It is
very important that the top of the
sack be tied so that it will keep in
.sects out.
Paint each sack with, yellow wash
and hang the meat up. Never stack
it in pile.
Recipe for Yellow Wash.
For 100 pounds hams or bacon use
8 pounds of barium sulphate; / OF.
of glue; IN ounces chrome yellow
(lead chromate); 6 ounces of flour.
Fill the pail about one half full of
water and dissolve all Of the flour.
Dissolve the chrome yellowin a quart
If water in separate vessel and
.dd the solution and the glue to the
lour. Bring this to boil and add the
,arium sulphate slowly, stirring con-
tantly. Make the wash the day be-
ore it is required. Stir it frequently
vhen using and apply with a brush.

Great Possibilities in Industrial
Development in Henry
Ford's Muscle Shoals
Proposal.

The business genius Of Henry Fore
has been volunteered to transmute
relatively untouched natural resourc
es of the South into the gold of solic
achievement. The creative genius Of
Thomas Edison UNDERWRITERS the co,
lossal material assets of the other
fshigh adventurer."
We are not acquainted with the
minutiae of detail involved in the
Ford offer for Muscle Shoals. Mr..
Ford has usually been most liberal
in his business offers and has not
been inclined to haggle over few
dollars. We are, on the other hand,
most intimately advised as to the re-
peated efforts of more or less respon-
sible people, some styling themselves
experts, to deride and belittle the
whole Muscle Shoals development.
The public over and over again was
given to understand that the appro-
priations for Muscle Shoals repre-
sented nothing more than a bold raid
on the Treasury, that it nev er could
and never should be made to amount
to anything; that at best it was but
junk and that the government would
be lucky if it got back any part at all
of the millions it had expended. But
no sooner did Mr.. Ford suggest that
if the property was worthless to the
government it was worth a great
many millions to him, which he was
prepared to pay, than great cry of
protest rose to Heaven. We believe
that it will require considerably more
logic and considerably better arith-
metic than have yet appeared to con-
vince the people of the United States
that the government, in any fairness
whatever, either to itself or to the
taxpayers, can decline the Ford pro-
posal.
It may be argued with power that |
it would be of advantage to the whole
United States, and not to the South
only, were Mr.. Ford permitted to un-
dertake his plans even if he were not
in position to pay in cash a single
penny for the Muscle Shoals proper
ty. He is prepared to undertake de-
velopment which is incompatible in
its magnitude. He plans in millions
not in millions of dollars but in mil
lions of men, work for a million men. Il
He visions an industrial creation
which would appear to be absurd
we're it not for the fact that accom-
olishments almost equally great he
,as already achieved. If he is able to ]

Growing Cotton Despite the
& Weevil.

|
/ Other states have had this prob.
4 lem to face, and while they suffered
severely they have demonstrated that
there are, ways Of dealing with the
boil weevil problem. Cotton is being
grown in spite of the boil weevil. II
will be grown in South Carolina in
spite of the boil weevil.
! There is no single new crop which
promisessto take the place of cotton
as our money crop. There is no COM
bination Of crops which can be rec
ommenced as specific.
fPlunging on new unknown money
crops brings on problems that are
as hard to solve as is the problem of
growing cotton under weevil condi-
tions.
The greatest number of weetils
will survive in those fields on which
cotton stalks together with grass,
weeds and other refuse material Of
fering shelter, are allowed to re-
main.
The early destruction of cotton
stalks by chopping and plowing them
under, the planting of winter covers,
and the cleaning of terraces, ditch
banks, edges of woods, and other
places offering winter shelter, consti-
tute the first step in making the next
years crop.
Cotton comes up more quickly and
starts growth earlier if planted on
a firm, well-settled seed bed than if
planted on loose one.
Shcrt staple varieties recommend
ed are (1) Cleveland Big Boil for
wilt-free land, (2) Dixie Triumph
for line-infested land.
Long staple varieties recommend
ed areN(1) Webber No. 40, (2) Delta
type iWebber.
1T is important to have an early
fruiting variety but it is also impor-
ant to have variety which contin-
les to fruit throughout the season.
Cotton should be planted as early [
is possible after danger of killing
'rost is over and the ground is warm
enough to insure quick termination
md rapid growth.
In order to insure a good stand {
Without replanting more seed should
e used than has been the custom in S
he past.
1t is distinct advantage when /
racticable to delint the seed, be- G
ause delinted seed will germinate

Diverse conditions, than will unde- v

,lget but half the million horse-powe
|he hopes to obtain and is able, there
fore, to give employment to but hal
a million men, still that in itsel:
would be- an achievement to amaz'
and educate the world.
Mr.! Ford intinates that as resul
of his operations at Muscle Shoals hi
will be able to revolutionize agricul
F, ture in the South. He foreshadow:
the upbuilding Of a variety of manu-
featuring enterprises, including pro.
duction of aluminium on huge scale,
and promises to upbuild in the en-
virons of the power-development an
industrial area that, if his plans are
carried out, would quite obviously
rival any similar area in any other
place on the face of the earth.
Mr.. Ford int:mates that there is
much he can teach the South, to the
South's great benefit. We do not
doubt it. He has taught the North,
and the industry of the whole world,
many things. His peculiarities are va
rious. His ignorance on some sub
jects is astounding. But in the bal
ance scales his eccentricities are as
nothing compared with the things he
is able to achieve. The world is in
terested in his merits, not his de-
merits.
The future belongs to the South.
It is not remarkable that man of
Mr.. Ford's magnitude has foreseen it.
Power is the open sesame jim modern
development. "White coal" is power.
The Southern Power Company has
just announced that it will begin the
at once of two great new
plants, in the Carolinas,
one at Great Falls, with a maximum
capacity of $4,000 horse power; the
other at Mountain Island on the Ca
;awba River, with maximum ca
oacity of $4,000 horse power. South
,rn rivers, year-round reservoirs Of |
perpetual power, are being harnessed |
Up, in increasing number and volume.
The example of what has been done
When accentuated by the enormous
project of Ford at Muscle Shoals,
will not only induce other develop
nents in all parts of the South, but
s with the power of a vast magnet,
viii draw to the South innumerable
manufacturing plants of all sorts.
The whole South ought to get be-
ind Mr.. Ford, and Mr.. Edison with
i'm, and assist to the uttermost to
ee that he gets Muscle Shoals. The
lvestment will be worth incompar-
bly, more under private than under S
ublic ownership, and worth incom-
arably more under the Ford direc-

cial fertilizer is advisable, and thi:
fertilizer should contain an abun
dance of phosphoric acid, as this in
gredient hastens the maturity of the
crop up to a, point where the plant
has all it requires in the growth.
A liberal amount of ammonia has.
tens the maturity of the crop up to
a certain point, but too much ammo,
MIA delays the crop as does too little.
Potash is necessary on most of our
sandy soils and on some of our Pied
mont soils. Where a good system of
farming is practiced in the Piedmont
section, where the crops are rotated
and organic matter supplied, no po-
tash should be required.
A well balanced fertilizer which
supplies the needs Of the soil to
which it is applied gives the earliest
crop and the largest crop.
All of the PHOSPHORUS and the po-
tash and most of the nitrogen should
be. applied by the time the first
squares begin to form.
Where large applications of fertili-
ger are made at planting time, it is
important to mix the fertilizer with
the soil thoroughly so that it will not
interfere with the termination and
early growth of the cotton.
From the very start cotton should
be cultivated intensively to prevent
weeds and grass from ever getting
a start. To accomplish this, frequent
shallow cultivation is advisable.
1t may be helpful to pick weevils
from the young cotton plants before
the squares appear whenever cheap
labor that costs practically nothing
in cash is available.
If weevil collecting is done with
The utmost care, giving special atten-
ion to places where the greatest
number of weevils hibernated, the ma
ority of weevils may be caught be-
'ore they lay their eggs. !:
When low priced labor is available ;
quare collecting will be helpful if /
done. Collecting should be

loom is seen in the field.
About every five days every square

round but also those that have dried {

Attempts at poisoning the cotton t

POLICE GUARDS RESULT
OF CHAUFFEURS' STRIKE
[By The Associated Press. I

HACKENSACK, July 1S:-County
authorities and police from Bogota
to Paterson were today called upon
to give safe conduct to four auto
trucks loaded with paper from the
Continental Paper Company of Bo-
gotta manned and guarded by thirty
two negroes who were employed to
take the place of striking white
chauffeurs.
Four negroes were on each truck
and following each truck were auto
mobiles with others acting as guards.
AS the caravan started several shots
were fired. At Essex and Main
streets a crowd of men attacked one
of the trucks, cutting the ropes and
releasing the goods. The negroes re-
tied the cut rope and resumed the
trip.
Near haywood another attack was
reported and one arrest was made.
The prisoner, Toney Wedo, was said
o have fired two shots. The police
were warned to be on the watch for
trouble.

Clouds of Smoke Plainly Seen
From This City Causing
Many Inquiries
CAUSE IS NOT KNOWN
Roosevelt Firemen Unable to
Cross Railway River to
Fight the Flames

The Warner Quinlan Asphalt Com
pany's plant at Linden is threatened
with complete destruction as the re-
)ult of large fire which started at
B o'clock this afternoon when one
pf the huge oil tanks exploded. Ow-
Ing to the position of the company's
plant on the opposite side of the
Railway river from Roosevelt it was
difficult for any fire fighting appara-
lus to make its way to the plant.
A call was sent in for the Roose-
welt fire companies but they found 1t
Impossible to get to the blaze as only
a railroad bridge crosses the Rah-
way river at this point. Fire COM
panies from Linden. Railway and
Elizabeth could get to the plant,
however. as they could approach
from the north side of the river.
FIRE TAKE 2
According to the Linden police
two distinct explosions were heard
after which dense clouds of smoke
began to rise, steadily growing larger
as the blaze spread to surrounding
talks. 1t is estimated that at least
fifteen large storage oil tanks are
ed at 2:45 o'clock as though all
were doomed.
The cause of the explosion could
not be learned from any in the vi
cinity of the blaze. None were in
jured as far as the Linden police
could learn. Intense heat was being
thrown off by the fire making it
practically impossible for the plants
hremen and outside companies to
get near enough to the flames to do
any good.

by Mayor William C. Wilson as a
member of the City Plan Commission
to succeed William b. Majewski. of
591 Penn street. who died recently.
The appointment of Mr.. Turk will be

[By Evening News staff Correspondent ]
NEW BRUNSWICK, July 18-
Jacob LipshitZ, of 354 Rockaway
avenue, Brooklyn, the driver of a
truck carrying five barrels of grain
alcohol, arrested in Perth Amboy
Friday night, was arraigned before
Judge Peter f. DAILY, sitting as a
magistrate today, charged with vio-
lating the state prohibition law.
The man pleaded guilty to the
charges and his bail of $4,000 fixed
at Perth Amboy was continued un-
til Wednesday when he will be
sentenced. David WilentZ, of Perth
Amboy, is representing LipshitZ.
Lipshitz had the truck which was
carrying the barrels of alcohol so
"camoufiaged" with chairs, mat
tresses and other household furni-
ture that it would be difficult for
one to See the barrels. Motorcycle
Officer William Bachman became
suspicious of the truck when it
stopped at the saloon of David Wolf
son at the corner of Fayette and
Prospect streets, and notified head
quarters. Detectives John Murray
and Michael Muska were detailed on
the case and arrived sat the saloon
just as the last barrel was being un-

and BattIeShipS
IBy The Associated Press. I

ON BOARD u. S. S. DAKOTA,
OFF VIRGINIA CAPES, July 49,
The navy and army airmen joined
forces for the bombing of the former
German cruiser Frankfurt at anchor
rs miles southeast of Cape Charles
iightShip, where six once enemy men
of war already had been sent down
by bombs or shell fire. The vessel
was the largest target at which the
aviators had launched live bombs
since the beginning of the joint tests
here month ago.
Thirty-two airships have been as
signed for today's action divided into
two phases. Twelve naval seaplanes
of the F-5-L type. carrying a total of
thirty 200-pound bombs and five
army Martin bombers, carrying to.
tai of thirty-three 30O-pound bombs
were to participate. Four seaplanes
of Trans Atlantic n. c. type, five navy
Martin bombers and six army Mar
tin bombers were to take part. They
were to launch a total of forty-eight
bombs, divided fifteen of $40 pounds
each to the five navy Martins; eight
of $40 Founders for the N. G. and
twenty-five of 500 pounds each for
the army Martins.
Should the Frankfurt be afloat af-
ter the launching of the los bombs
allotted to the plane. she was to be
shelled by the twenty-sixth destroyer
division of the Atlantic fleet. The
destroyer would use ten rounds Of
ammunition for each ton brought to
bear on the target, and open fire at
a range of 5000 yards. If this attack
fails a wrecking party from the
North Dakota would finish up the
job by use of depth charges.
