Cheap Fertilizer Plank
Is Bid For Farmer Vote

(Copyright. I52J. By Th? Advanrri
Washington, Nov. 2i). ? There are ;tronjr indications thai
President Coolid^e will shortly make a bid for the voting power
of the agricultural sections that have shtiwn sentiment favorable
to the candidacy of llenry Ford.
Analyzing the strength of.
Mr. Ford as reflected in a let-1
ter received by the adminis-!
t rat ion, the main pillar seems
to be the demand of the far
mer for cheaper fertilizer to.;
cut down his costs of produc-i
tion and a belief that Henry
Ford's plan to operate Muscle
Shoals will accomplish that
object.
Gray Silver, hud of Hie Amcr
ieun Farm Bureau. who now is iu
Europe, told Mr. Coolidge not long
ago that h?* had been' advised by ex
perts that five cent fertilizer could
be produced at Muscle Shoals. Thc.J
market price of fertilizer Is at least
three times that sum and makes
quite an Item in the farmer's bud
get. With the low price of wheat,
the farmer's costs #re combining
him vitally and if he could secure u
cut in the fertilizer it would increase
his margin of profit especially if a1
foreign market for grain were some
day to he established.
Mr. Coolidge has lot If be known i
that he believes fertilizer to be of j
such paramount importance to the
weiiare of the country that he would I
consider the Federal Government
Justified in operating Muscle Shpalsi
even at a loss. This would check
mate the Ford plan of private oper-1
ation. . It would mean a loss Qf,
about fifty million dollars a year ac
cording to some estimates as the'
whole thing is very much of an ex
periment but If Mr. For.il...could risk
it so could the Federal Government.
That's the view which many mem
bers of Congress have been taking
of the subject and matters have
reaclud the point where a bill passed
by both houses would receive the
^ approval of ihe President.
Mr. Coglidge has been told that
in denying Mr. Ford the opportunity
to develop Muscle Shoals, the gov
ernment must provide some alterna
tive that will satisfy the same sen
- timcnt that Is back of Mr. Ford's j
campaign.
It seems almost certain that the
alternative will bo Government
operation of Muscle Shoals. To this
there may be the objection which
has been made to Government own
ership of other things such as ship
ping or railroad.;!' but here, too. the
program would provide that the ini
tiative taken and th.r capital furnish
ed would lie a governmental charac
ter only in the years of experimen
tation. Once the plants were abb- to
turn out cheap fertilizer it could be
leased to priwite concerns on terms
favorable to the Government in the
ultimate return of the capital invest
ed and guaranteed to give the far
mer his fertilizer <it agreed upon
rates.
During trie war the Federal Gov
ernment bought the fertilizer pro
dti ' of Chile in bulk and disposed
of It to the American farmers so
there I* precedent for the Govern
in' nt handling of this problem in an
emergency. A
I'nquestlonably there will ho re
newed agitation of the Muscle
Hhonls controversy at the coming sos
cion of Congress but the administra
tion is prepared to meet It with a
specific pi'? for Government opera
tion vi< win : the present emergency
as of jti fioally the same economic
importance to the country as the
ntr\>- undertaken during the war to
obtain fertilizer at reasonable costs.

Army Horses Outlive
Those In Civil Life
*
Regularity Of Dielr Exercise,
Rest And Proper Grooming ,
Secret, Believe Experts
Washington. Nov. 30?Army ex
porls believe tliey have discovered
the secret of auimal longevity.
Old horses and mules in "active
service" today have an average age
of 14 years, while in the nominal
civil activities 11-year old animals
are regarded as beyond the age of
usefulness.
And the "oldsters" of the army
herds, whether in the cavalry, ari ti
lery or transport service, are still
"going strong." In one case a
25-year old charger is still winning
blue ribbons tor performances in his
class.
The secret, the experts believe.
Jies in regularity of diet, exercise,
rest, grooming and all the ofher
cares with which the army sur-i
rounds its animals in time of peace. I
They estimate that a five year aver
age increase in the useful life period
oT horses and mules in the service
has already been proved, figuring
that the 14-year-olds of today will
still be fit for active service two
years from now.
The total number of animnls In
active army service is 44.423. and
the average age for all of these is
14 years. Of the 2G.254 houses,
,sn pr?r cent are more than II years
of age and of the 18.169 mules, <14
per cent have pased the 11-year
mark. These statistics indicate,
according to army experts, that the
balk of animal work in the army is
being done by horses and mules
which, in civil life, would be re
girded as fit only for the bone-yard
or the pension list.
