DEATH ANGEL CALLS
PIONEER CITIZEN

Mr.. William T. Jackson, one OF
Lee County's best known and
beloved citizens, passed away al
his home here Tuesday. He had
been in declining health for
several months, though he con-
tinued his duties at his office as
Ordinary of Lee County.
Last Saturday morning he
suffered a stroke Of paralysis and
the end came peacefully Tuesday,
Mr.. Jackson was born in Lee
County, sixty-siX years ago, and
though at several different times
he moved to other cities. where
he was engaged in business, he
always called this home.
Last spring he was elected
Ordinary of Lee County and
made a most efficient and faith
full officer. He had no enemies
and numbered his friends by his
acquaintance, he was a consis-
tant member of the Baptist
church, a Toying husband and
devoted father, and he will be
missed by all, who had known
and loved him.
The deceased was from one of
the oldest and highest respected
families in this section of Georgia.
He is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Sara Jackson, of Columbus,
three sisters, Mrs. Claud Brown,
of Columbus, Mrs. M. B. Heath,
and Mrs. Dora Raglan, Of Lees
burg, two brothers, Mr.. j. D,
and H. A. Jackson, of Atlanta,
and daughter, Mrs. L. B. Dicker-
son, of Atlanta. and his wife,
Mrs. Lula Jackson and many
other relatives.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the Baptist church

most profound sympathy of the

the Tennessee and Warrior
Rivers, which are now non-navi-
gable on account of shoals at
Muscle Shoals-400 miles through
an agricultural section filled with
coal, slate, phosphate, iron ore,
sulphur, silica, OGRE, etc. y
"They can develop 10000
horse power at low water and
1, 100000 horse power at high
water with an average Of 500, 1000
horsepower, which Of course will
permit them to sell power for
lighting and manufacturing pur-
poses to nearby cities at a very
cheap rate. If Ford gets it he
will put in manufacturing enter
prises and will give employment
to thousands Of people and add
very much to the wealth of the
nation. The tax payers would
then be saved about $500, 600 per
year, which they are now paying
to guard and care for this idle
property.
Il am in hopes that ultimately
Ford will be given this lease.
The Representatives from the
South are almost to a man in
favor Of it and we are being as
sisted by a number of represen-
tatives from the western agricnl-
tural states and | hope that the
merits Of the proposition will so
appeal to the people of the United
States that they will demand Of
their representatives that they
lease the property to Ford. The
various farmers organizations
out west are supporting the Ford
offer and they are having a very
favorable influence on the
Western populace."
Mr.. Crisp is a man of whom
our district and Georgia as well.
is proud, for he is one of the
truly, good and treat men of
Congress, where at all times he
is ever alert to the interest of the
people and where he is recogniz-
ed by his colleagues as a leader
whose ideas are always weighty
and right.

SITE PICKED FOR
PECAN STATION
Old Ally Place in the East
Central Part of Lee
County, Near Leesburg.
Selected by Bureau of
Plant Industry

The old Ally place, in the east
central part Of Lee County,
eleven miles northeast of Lees
burg, has been selected by the
Bureau of Plant industry as a
site for the Pecan Experiment
Station authorized under the
amendment of the Appropriations
bills secured by Senator VIM. j.
Harris, of Georgia.
The place is the property of the
estate of the late Sam Brown
and the late A. w. Muse, and
was rendered by Paul j. Brown,
son of the former, who carried
out the wishes of his father and
Mr.. Muse, who were working to
bring the station to the Albany
district. The Alley place is well
situated for the station having
amples buildings, being accessi-
BILE to a railroad and to an i'm
proved highway. having an
artesian we'll and possessing
numerous bearing pecan trees
and having soil suited to the
experimental purposes planned.
Experts who will haYe charge
of the station were quoted by
Senator Harris, who was in AL
bany recently, as saying that
not only will the station work
to combat insect enemies Of the
pecan crop, but that new varie.
ties will be developed and that
experiments will be made to
show that a pecan tree can be
brought to bearing in four years,
instead of waiting from seven to
ten years, as is now the case.

THE FALL GARDEN

Almost every family, through
this section, has a spring garden
and is from it supplied vegetables
for early summer use. though
but few have a good fall garden.
Nothing pays a better dividend
on the money and energy eX-
pended than a good garden, not
to mention the luxury of having
fresh vegetables at hand for con-
sumption.
1t is getting time for all to
begin thinking of the fall garden,
and though it possibly requires
more attention to make than the
spring garden, yet coming in at
a time when vegetables are scarce
it undoubtedly pays the difference
in it's furnishing to the table.
Get your land ready now, for
it is just about time to plant
Irish potatoes, which, planted
about August LIST will make a
fair crop. Use Lookout Noun
tain. Green Mountain or cold
storage seed of Irish Cobbler or
other varieties to plant.
Put out tomatoes, which will
bear until frost, when the vines
may be pulled up and placed in
protected place for all fruit to
ripen.
Snap beans do well planted
now, the best varieties being
Extra Early Refugees, Valentine,
etc.
Lettuce, spinach, mustard,
rape endine, etc., may be plant
ed latter part OF August or early
September.
Sow cabbage and collards now
and when plants are large enough
transplant to the field.
Turnips, carrots, beets,
radishes, parsnips, may be sown
in September.
Onions of all varieties can be
put out late in July or Augut and
will make good growth in fall,
affording green onions for winter
use, while they can be put out as
late as October or November to
make onions for spring.
Make your soil for all crops
rich with stable manure, poultry
manure and with some CONNER
ciaI fertilizers, if necessary.

CONGRESSMAN
CHAS. R. CRISP
Very Optimistic Regarding
Award of Muscle Shoals
To Henry Ford.

Hon. Chas.R. Crisp, congress-
man from this district, was in.
terviewed recently by the editor
on the question of the award of
Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford,
one of the outstanding and vital
questions of the hour. In simple
terms he outlined Mr.. Ford's
bid and propospal, as follows:
II am in hopes that eventually
the Government will enter a
lease with Ford, The Secretary
of War and certain Wall street
interests and the fertilizer COM
panies are very much opposed to
Ford's having this lease, favor
ing the Alabama Power Com
pany's bid. The latter is a
Canadian corporation and would
not manufacture fertilizer nor
enter into any manufacturing
business, but would want the
plant for the purpose of selling
hydro electric horse power to
Memphis, Birmingham, Nashville
and Chattanooga.
Il am very anxious for Ford
to have the lease, for | believe
it will mean much for the South
and the entire Nation.
1.-The project was first started
during the war as a National
prosposition so as to furnish the
government with nitro for war
purposes. Before the war our
supply of nitrates came from
Chill and the German submarine
warfare prevented any of it
reaching the United States, so it
became necessary for the Govern
ment to manufacture nitrogen
from the air So this Muscle Shoals
project was started and the
Government has expended about
500, O00, 900 there. They have
two nitrate plants and Ford
agrees if the power is leased to
him to maintain one Of the nitrate
plants in shipshape, without be-
ing used, without expense to the
government, Sc as to turn it over
to the government at a moments
notice, if the government desires
| it for national purposes. He
agrees to operate the other plant
at full capacity for the manufac-
ture of nitrogen to sell the
farmers at only 8 per cent profit
over the cost Of production. He
agrees that the farmers organi-
cation can appoint a committee
and have access to his books at
all times to see that he does not
charge over 8 per cent profit over
the manufacture Of this fertilizer.
Experts testified before the
Military Affairs Committee that
he could probably sell it to the
farmers at half the price they
are paying for it now. There
can be manufactured at either
one of these plants 10000 tons of
pure nitrate every year, which is
the equivalent Of 100000 tons Of
the Chilean nitrate and this
nitrate made up into commercial
fertilizer will make about 1000,
! 900 tons. This is the normal use
of nitrate in the United States
or fertilizer purposes. "
1.-The Chilean government
levies an export duty of $40 90 a
ton on it's nitrate. So if we con-
tinue to buy nitrate from Chill,
our farmers will yearly contri-
butte to them about So, 500, 000 in
duty and contribute millions to
he ship owners, whereas Ford
if given this lease, will save the
| farmers this enormous expense. y
IF the Ford proposition is
accepted it will open up to navi.
cation a stretch of 400 miles Of
