Fonip Advertising PirriinlMin THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Friday, Feb. - 24, 1922 HENRY FORD AND HARVESTER COMPANY? The fertilizer manufacturers of this country have a strong' ""ally, in its fight against Henry Ford; for the International Harvester Company of Ameri ca is now deadlocked with the "flivver" and tractor manufac turer in a combat of price low ering on the farmers' tractors. Here is a bit of the Harvester Company's satire on the recent substantial cut in tjie Fordson: "Henry Ford may find him self so busy tending to his own business in the next few months that he will have little time to reorganize the currency system of the country, demonetize gold or flay the money baron of Wall Street." It seems that Mr. Ford, in his eagerness- to sell farm trae tora, has cut his prices to the bone, announcing recently a re duction of $230 on the Fordson, which is, to all purposes, a com petitor of the farm tractor of the International Harvester Company; although the lat ter firm "admits" that the Ford son comes rather high, when the necessary fixtures and ap pliances are added, to make it fit for field operations. "the article in question states further: "The new prices quot ed on tractors and the temper of Harvester officials would ap parently seem to indicate that the prayers of the country that some one give Ford some real competition are about to be an swered." Which is to say, the Harvester people, although they know Henry stands to lose millions of dollars on his re duction, are themselves not only meeting the cut in Ford sons with a corresponding cut in their tractors, bi}t, as an ad ded inducement to the farmer, ? this company announces its in tention to give away with eve ry tractor bought between this time and May 1st. a two-furrow or three-furrow plow, or a disk harrow. In the light of the statements made by the Harvester Compa ny, the farmers of the country today appear in the role of ben eficiary of Henry Ford and the International Harvester Com pany. _____ A MUSCLE SHOALS AND HOW IT ORIGINATED? For the peace of mind of writers for Greensboro, Raleigh and other North Carolina pa pers, the HERALD is going to be gracious enough to stop all of this wild talk and specula tion about the way to spell the "Muscle" in Muscle Shoals*? a subject about which many of the paragraphers are worrying. Most all of thebn seem to wor-i ry themselves bine in the face becaube people persist in call ing it Mus-cle instead of. Mus sel; and/gentlemen, they are all "barking up the wrong J tree." Mus-cle is correct; and. for our authority, we have no lass a personage than a bus dri ver with a smooth, well lubri cated "line" about this popular haven for real estate specula tors. The editor of this paper, re cently visited M uncle Shoals, driving direct from Florence, Alabama, to the Wilson Dam, the aforementioned taxi pur veyor being in charge of a company of us "foreigners." In our ramblings about the shores of the Tennessee River and "other points of interest", the said guide was specifically interrogated about the origin of the name;'and, these are the facts as-given us (for which he charged .the. sum of 30 cents, round trip). Back in the old frontier days, the (ndians in that neghborhood liked to' sport their bark canoes up and down the river at that point; and ev ery day they had great fun gliding over the river courses. The Shoals offered such'resist ance to the hardy muscles of the Indians, who found great difficulty in piloting their frail craft, that the name "Muscle" Shoals was given to that spot. That settles it! - 0 PICKED-UP and MADE-UP Author Unknown Often a man must choose in life between happiness and glory. But as true happiness is almost impossible to be found, many are forced to seek glory. Yet the man who has found happiness has found the most perfect and noblest of all in the happiness of love. Our "do-nothing" Congress contin ue to send out their little "free" pack ages of seeds; but they get in high gear with their talking proclivities when a bonus for ex-service men is mentioned. Mark Twain said. "Congress is di vided into civilised, half civilised, and savage." Some jokester in Ahoskie avers that the aeroplane which recently pas sed over this town, selected a cloudy day to prevent its shadow from get ting "stuck" in the mire of Ahoskie's streets. Our county commissioneres sought a road superintendent three months before they landed, in 1921. In 1922 every person whose fence has been moved back to make way for a wider road bed, or whose sand pit has been .commandeered by the road force of the county has already qualified for the job, which in 1921 was so hard to fill. How we do raise road biuldersl "The morning after" an Ahoskie citisen proudly exclaimed "the Dem ocrats have won".

If you are going to continue to raise Jive stock at ? profit, you will have to put in a few acres of good,permanent pas ture. Billy goats are about the only animals that can survive and make a profit on oak and briar berry bushes (the princi pal constituents of our average woods pasture) and besides it is too expensive to fence all the here, right thinking farmers must come to the conclusion that to sod down a few acres of clover and grasses is the next thing in order, and the quicker we do this the better. Here are some pasture mix tures that, by experiment, have been proven best suited to this section. For soil that is fairly in good state of cultivation: 8 pounds of ?? ?p Frass, 8 pounds of It alian Rye grass, 8 pounds of Orchard grass, 10 pounds of A1 sike clover, 4 pounds of white clover 4 pounds of red clover, a total of 42 pounds. Sow* this broadcast in a well prepared limed and manured soil. For spring sowing it will be best to disk in oats, first, then put the pasture mixture in with a*weeder or brush. The plot should be let alone (not grazed) until June, when the oats can be cut as feed. Then you have4a stubble that will protect the young grass and clo ver from the hot sun of July and August, and you will be much more likely to have sue cess with a spring pasture sown [this way than if you put the pasture mixture in without a some sort of shade crop. Also, in this manner, you get a crop of oats, while the clover is get ting started and you don't feel like you are losing the use of your land so long as if you sim ply waited for the clover to get big enough to graze. This pas ture should be grazed lightly for the .first year, for the best success. Another mixture that is rap idly gaining in popularity all through the South is as follows : 6 pounds of carpet grass, and *4 pounds of Japan clover, ma king a total of 30 pounds per acre. It is sown broadcast on Tough or uncultivated land. For land that is rather rough and stumpy and unfitted to pre pare porperly for the first mix ture, the carpet grass and Ja pan grass will give good result. rhiS can simply be sown broad cast and left to take care of it self as to germination. If this mixture is used the weeds etc should be kept grazed fairlv closely the first year or so to allow J;he clover and the grass to get a start, and not be chok ed out. For spring sowing* ei ther of these mixtures should be sown as early in March as'is possible. For .further informa tion write to me. V j*' I ?H. L. MILLER. COLERA1N NEWS ?Mr. M. C.
