MUSCLE SHOALSUP
 FOR FINAL CHOICE
Senate Must Decide Between Govt, and Private Ownership

Washington, Dec, 1S.-The senate faced definite choice today be- tween Government and private oper alton of Muscle Shoals.
 Senator Underwood, democrat, Alabama author of the pending Muscle Shoals bill has demanded that the senate declare itself on this issue before consuming more time in debate. The showdown will come in a vote on the amendment of Sem ator smith, democrat, South Caro- lima, proposing 10 strike out the en- tire leasing clause of the Under wood bill and providing for gov crnment operation of the plant at full capacity for fertilizer eXperi- mentatIon. The Underwood bill as it now stands favors first private oper- atton under lease and, as a last re- sort government operation.
 Leaders of both parties were bending their efforts today to check what they regard as an insipient fltbustor against the Underwood bill. The last three days have seen only an accumulation of amend ments and leaders have resorted to persuasion to lift the blockade to consideration of other important legislation.
 Senator Underwood has pointed cut that q iilibuster cannot prevent q vote unless the oppositions tac- tics are continued until the end of the session, as the unanimous con sent agreement under which the Muscle Shoals question Is now be- fore the senate will keep 1t there until final disposition is obtained.

So far as is known by any of the
scientists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture who have
been testing the claims of certain
manufacturers of lice, mite and blue
bug preparations, there is no prepa-
ration made that can be fed to poul-
try in the food or drinking water that
will kill external pests or parasites.
There are being advertised and con-
tinuously offered to the poultrymen
numerous misbranded preparations
for use in this way by manufacturers
who are either entirely ignorant of
the physiology of a chicken or gross
ly INSCRIPTIONS. These preparations
are sold for the most part directly
to consumers by parcel post.
Most of the products so advertised
are composed of various combina-
lions of such chemicals as sulphur,
charcoal, calcium sulphide, capsicum,
sodium carbonate, naphthalene,
sand, nuX vomica, calcium poly
mephide, and other ingredients. The
Insecticide and Fungicide Board has
recently made tests of number of
these mixtures and reports that in no
single instance has one been found
to give the effects claimed for it.
The board further states that it is of
the opinion that it is unlikely that
any substance will be found which
will control or kill external parasites
of chickens when fed in the feed or
drinking water.
Tests have not been made of all
of the substances advertised against
all of the insects named, but it is be-
lieved that sufficient evidence has
been obtained to prove the extreme
unlikelihood of the method OF con-
trolling external pests by internal adj
ministration of an insecticide.
