Mr.. FITZGERALD
Says Maury County Farmers Will Go
Into Winter In Better Shape
Than For Years.

MI. l.. H. Fitzgerald, one of the
Maury County Turnpike inspectors, who
has been over the greater part If the
county recently, was seen by Herald
reporter Friday morning. to WI, I'm
he gave the result of his observations
of the crop conditions as he has trav.
eled throughout the different sections.
He said: i have had splendid OPP
portunity to observe farming condi-
tions, and being farmer myself did
not let the opportunity pass. The
wheat that is already up is green and
healthy looking and is evidently doing
nicely. Many farmers are busy now
sowing and the good prices procured
for this cereal this yeat will cause an
increased acreage this fall. also
observed great many fat hogs.
Nearly every farmer has more than
enough for family consumption and
there is big surplus OF hogs in the
county that will bring our farmers
thousands of dollars.
Live stock seems to all be in good
condition. There was large hay
crop and the farmers all have plenty of
feed stuff. The Irish potato crop Is
being dug now and while 1t does not
come up TO the yield of other years II
is fairly GOOD. Lack of rain at the
proper time shortened the crop. In
fact. In every respect, the farmers of
Maury county are going into the
winter In better shape than for years. /"
