 PLANT Is RENEWED
 TOPOWER COMP ANY.
Secretary Weeks ReneWS Contract So That Cotton Mills and Other Industries
 May Obtain Power
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald,
 800 Davidson Building.

Washington, october i2.-tspe- ial. )-Secretary of War Weeks an- nounced today he had renewed Tor another year the lease contract with the Alabama Power company under which that company operates the government electrical generating steam plant at Muscle Shoals
 This was necessary" said tpe secretary. to enable a number or cotton mills and other industries n certain southern states to continue operation which otherwise mus close down or materially eurtati pro duction because of disturbed eondl- tons in the coal supply and trans portation and lack of developed hy- electric power in tine states ai~ fected. By interconnection the power systems of the south are aple to transmit and Interchange elec- trical energy over several hundred miles of high tension lines. Renew al of the lease will enable southern industries served by these hydro power systems to plan against a re- currenee next year of drouth and coal shortage and also continue to expand operations.
 sf0.OOO Per Month
 "The power company will pay the government as before S1o,000 per month for the use of the plant, plus a charge of two mills per kilowatt hour for al energy developed. Dur ing 1922 the rental to the govern ment is expected to exceed s200.000,"
 The secretary stated that informa- tion submitted to him shows tha' power from the Muscle Shoals plant is being snpiied to the Central of Georgia Power company and the Columbus Power company in Geor- gia; the Carolina Power company. the Yadkin River Power company, and the Palmetto Power and Light company in North and So&th Caro- lima, in addition to the power dfstrib- uted direct by the Alabama Power company.

Judicious fertilizing is important.
Several different mixtures should be.
used on as many different types OF
soil. In all cases plenty Of acid phos-
phate is, advisable. az this is the
main fruiting element. Some nitrate
Of soda at planting time in the fertil-,
izer is important in order that the
crop may be given a good start.
On soil OF medium fertility where
the stalks usually attain a height of
two to three feet, good mixture ls
made as follows, according to N. f.
Winters, specialist In soil fertility:s
600 pounds acid phosphate, 800
pounds, c.. s. meal, l50 pounds nj,
trate. Of soda. Use about 400 or 500
pounds Of this mixture per acre. This
mixture will analyze about 8-4-0.
Where the soils are better and grow
larger stalks naturally, tho proper
ton OF acid phosphate should be in
creased and the proportion Of G. g.
meal decreased. Nitrate Of soda is
advisable in all the mixtures to has
ten the crop. Neither nitrate Of soda
nor any other top-dresser should be
used after squares begin to form. In
case a top dresser is. used it should
be used as soon as the plants are
chopped out.
No potash is recommended for the
ordinary red clay soils Of the county,
for there Is an abundance Of potash
in these soils. However, IL some Of
soil on the farm has not been rotated
and has not had litter turned under,
II 1t is low in organic matter-hard,
sticky and compact--indicating that
there Is no bacterial action there to
help ltberate the potash in the soil
for the plants uses, then it will pro-
badly paw to use 2 per cent Of potash
in the mixture. An excess of potash
is to be avoided, however, as this
will delay maturity.
Fields selected for growing cotton
should be as large and open as pos
sible, where nearby stumps, logs.
brush piles, etc., have been cleaned
UP. No wet or poorly drained bottom
land should be selected.
Other matters regarding growing
cotton will be taken up in later arti-

The various kitchen tasks can be

Vaudeville continues to feature the
program at Mauk's Columbia. theater
again today and the two big speciality
acts with the regular picture program
combine to make one of the most
pleasing entertainments offered at
the popular Adams street playhouse
in weeks. Regular house prices hold
at the big double program.
Perrell, the man who makes ''his
fingers talk offers a line of enter
tainment that is not only unique and
distinctive but is thoroughly enjoy
able and amusing. His number is
one that appeals especially to the jul
venile patrons. The silhouette pro-
duction of animals and their antics
and characteristics are perfect and
amusing.
Wiki Bird, Hawaiian entertainer,
has a musical act that will surely
please everyone. Late of the Bird of
Paradise" his Hawaiian numbers got
'over'' big at the first night per-
formance at the Columbia last night.
He possesses a sweet, melodious
voice that is unusually well adapted
to the Interpretation of the quaint
Hawaiian melodies. He also plays
the famous steel guitar, with which
he scored a big hit with Columbia
patrons yesterday.

title of the feature film play for
the last times today, and it has for
it's star no less parsonage in the

Bennett alone assures the success
for the production, but she is pro-

Agnes Ayres at RiaIto

Agnes Ayres in "The Lane That
Had No Turning is the Rialto's at
traction for the final screenings to-
day. Adapted by Paramount from
Sir Gilbert Parker's noted novel of
the same name, the story has proven
a wonderful vehicle for the introduce
ton of this charming girl to her
thousands of admirers as a full
fledged Paramount star in her own
right. Possessed of extraordinary
dramatic value, and the appeal
heightened by very pronounced
emotional expression, THE Lane
That Had No Turning" gives Agnes
Ayres full opportunity for the dis
play of that art which endeared her
to the film fans of the country in
many of the Cecil b. DeMille pic
lures, as well as leading woman for
many of Reid's and Meighan's pro-
ductions. 1t is again a story of the
Canadian northwest, a country near
and dear to the heart of Sir Gilbert
Parker and a locality of which he
writes more entertainingly than any
other author. In theme it depicts a
woman's devotion to the man she has
married, sacrificing brilliant career
on the altar of duty. and of the i'm
spiration a wife found in the love of
her husband when that love was
put to the supreme test.
The leading characters are a belle
of the little village of Pontiac and
the descendant of one of the Oldest
French families. On the day OF the
wedding of Louis and Madelinette
comes word from Paris of the death
of the Seigneur of Pontiac. This ex
ecutive was an estranged relative of
Louis and with the news of the
death comes the provision that gives
Madelinette $4,000 francs to insure
her debut as an opera singer. A
former servant of the dead Seigneur's 5
and sworn enemy to Louis comes
into the story at this iuncture and
precipitates a quarrel which changed
the entire lives of man and Wife
This servant intimates a will VIII
be found AID that Louis pretens@n
to the office of seigneur is a mock
cry. Sure enough, the will does turn
mp, and it is the wife who finds it,
and a claimant to the office also
turns up in the person of a young
Englishman, but of him the wife
knows nothing until she returns
from Europe, where the debut was
