reply to the counter proposal drafted
by the Houss military committee for
development of government projects
at Muscle Shoals was presented to-
day to the committee by J. W. Worth-
ington, representative of Ford, im-
m diately upon arrival here from De-

The answer definitely rejected the
provision in the sommittee plan which
eliminated the steam plant at Gorgas,
Alabama, froni the properties to be
disposed of by the government with
the Muscle Shoals properties, saying it
was necessary to economical opera-
tion of the properties.
By Associated Press
Austin, Texas, June 1.—The condi-
tion of the rural schools of Texas— i
the financial condition —is the cause
of much talk and speculation among
the educators of the state, according
to correspondence received at the
State Department of Education. It is
also the cause of speculation concern-
ing a special session of the legisla-
ture this year.
The condition of the schools, as
gained from the Department of Edu-
cation, is that the acute financial con-
dition, the floods and the legislature’s
failure to proviee last year for run-
ning the schools during the scholastic
year of September 1, 1922, to August
31, 1923, have, collectively, put the
lural schools’ opening next Septem-
ber in a precarious condition. The
legislature appropriated $3,000,000 last
year to aid the rural schools. That
has already been used up, department
officials say, and unless the legisla-
ture make a similar appropriation for
the next scholastic year there will be
little help forthcoming from the state.
Then the acute financial conditions,
coupled with crop losses from the re-
cent floods iso add to the condition
of th eschools, educators say.
There will be few schools that will
not open next school year but there
will be a lot that will run but a few
“months if some aid is not given them,
it was said. The local taxes will suf-
fice for the opening but as this is used
up and no other funds are available,
the only thing left will be to close
up, according to school heads that
have called at the educational depart-
ment recently. They say that they
are contracting with teachers on the
“if plan,” that Is. if they have the
money the techers will be employed
for the full nine months, if not, only
as long as the funds last.
A large number of schools will ask
for aid this coming year that did not
ask for it last year, it is said. This
is on account of local school funds
being in poor condition and the out-
look for more being poorer. >
If the legislature is convened in
special session before the schools
open next September, it will be asked
to appropriate $4,000,000 for rural
school aid. it was said at the educa-
tional department. It will take at
least this amount to put the schools
of the state through the full nine
months, educators say.

Henry has threshed peanuts in this
county since the first crop was plant-
ed and he said that the best yield
he has noted during this time was
that made by J. A. Guerry on his
farm near Peaster a few years ago.
The crop was planted on July 4th,
and came right up and the growth
was not delayed in any way and
the crop matured in-good shape. He
said that the early crops and the
late crops were all that made in
this county. A crop planted early
will mature before the hot days
bake the ground and stunts the
growth. The same is true of a late
crop. When the late vines come up
and the growth started, the hot sun
strikes the fields at a time when the
Injury is impreceptible and the
growth is continued, and when the
nuts begin to form, the process con-
tinues until the crop Is made.
