The Farm Bloc knows-that-farmers-have suffered and many e-béen guined financiallly by Tack ‘of credit’ “The Farm 'Bloc is seeking to evolve a credit plan which will give relief to agriculture which will make more money for financing the slow turnéver of the farms, which will give the farmer another opportunity to go ahead with his work with a decent chance to make good. If that is accomplished it will mean cheaper food, more work, re-opened factories and mills, and a return of kood times. “The McNary bill extending the operation of the War Finance Cor- poration until July 1, 1923, should be promptly passed. “The farm Bloc believes the rail- way freight rates are too high and must come down.

E. B. McNeill, the foreman of the plant, hails from Johnson City, Ten- nessee, where he installed a complete plant and of which he was the gen- eral superintendent. He has been in the work practically all of his life and is considered one of the ablest plant men in the country. He advises that the local plant employs about 200 men at the pre- cnt time in all departments of the plant, that they are operating a day shift full capacity and a small crew nights, The output at present has been about 40,000 daily, advises Mr. Mc- Neill, making a shipment of about 40 cars a month, F, V. Joanis is assistant foreman, and much of the execution of details is evolved upon him, which work is being executed in an efficient man- ner. In discussing the plant and its operation both men were most en- thusiastic about its' possibilities and delighted in telling of the fine equip- ment contained in the various build- igs. \ The principal buildings include the ibox factory, 80x130 feet. a modern power plant wiere all power used for the cieration of the plant is ! manufact—-ed and generated; stor- lage shed, 20x200 fect, a drying shed and office building, i The men in the office declare the|g 'hox factory is cquipped with spledid + facilities and consider it one of the { most up-to-date in the country.

Tnere is a seperate motor at- tached to every individual machine, o that only the horse-power needed is used and no more.

These men have been with the old company for years and are consid- ered efficient and capable plant over- seers, both having splendid records of service.
