The sane decision that 80 percent of
the people who own Muscle Shoals
would advocate would be to let Ford
take the plant and show what he can
do about his promise to, supply cheap
fertilizer and send cheap power 200
miles in all directions.
Any Republican who thinks that
Ford would poll a small vote as an
independent knows little about politics
or the present mood of American farm,
ers and workingmen.
Secretary Weeks won't sue Henry
Ford for libel. He'll ask congress to

TERRAC|NG ADDS OVER TWO MILLION TO FARM VAL UES
Federal Farm Loan Board Give $5 Extra Value to Every Acre of Ter
 raced Land

AUBURN, Ala, March 12.-An ad- dition of s2,5oo,0e0 to the value Of Alabama farms as a result of ter racing is reported by L. c. LeBron, specialist in agriculture engineer ing for the Alabama extension serv- ice.
 This additional value" said Mfr. LeBron, "is due to the terracing of 500,000 acres of land in Alabama during the last few years. It was done under the direction of the county agents and largely as re- suit of numerous terracing demon- strations."
 For more than two years, MT. .Le- Bron is said to have devoted his time almost wholly to terracing, which he has done in corporation with the county agents by assisting them in conducting terracing demon strations in 47 of the s7 counties. Many more demonstrations have been conducted by the county agents alone, 1t Is said.
 The low. broad-base terrace, which Is claimed to be very efficient in preventing washing and holding moisture. Is the type of terrace rec commended by Mir. LeBron and the county agents. In addition to its other merits it. permits cultivation by the use of improved machinery and also makes possible the cul- tivation of the entire field, It's friends declare.
