dent Harding. n % %
Elections are coming soon and
Q big election--for President---
later. Farmers win decide Il.
II the Government does not
give Henry Ford I chance 10
make good his promise about
cheap fertilizers at Muscle
Shoals, there is apt TO be q
shake-up. and many farmers
may be found voting for Henry
Ford for President which this
Administration would not like.
Whether Ford COULD pro-
duce cheap fertilizer. nobody
knows, and he doesn't know. He
thinlIs he could, and he h a
wonderful manufacturer.
II you give him Muscle
Shoals and he produces cheap
fertilizers, Il may be said truly:
That's enough TO make him
President"
II you do give him Mus
Gle Shoals and he does NOT
produce cheap fertilizers, or not
enough to make 1t worth while,
that will disgust the farmers.
II you don't let Ford haye
Muscle Shoals, the farmers will
always believe that you deprived
them of cheap fertilizer and
they won't be satisfied until
they have Henry Ford in the
White & House. where he will
4hAvs q chance to make cheap
fertilizers, IF HE CAN.
That's worth some thought.
