SPLENDID CROP
OF BURT OATS
ONE OF THE LARGEST AND MOST
PROFITABLE GROWN IN
MAURY COUNTY.

Maury county has a wide reputa-
ton for her potato crops phosphates,
wheat, mule producing proclivities.
and many other agricultural produc-
tons, but no other one industry or ag-
ricultural production has made the
rapid growth that the oat crop has in
Maury county.
Ten years ago the average crop Of
the county was 10000 bushels, which
was sold at an average price of 80 to
SO cents per bushel, or total of about
$4,000. This crop has gradually in
creased, until this year there will be
harvested in the county more than
10000 bushels of Burt oats. At the
present price of 40 to As cents per
bushel, or an average of 421a cents per
bushel the crop is worth $63,750
This crop of oats is practically all
sold in the Southern states and con-
sumed by the cotton and sugar plant
ers for early feed. Little thought is
paid to the vast amount of revenue
brought into the county by the oat
crop, which is one of the cheapest
crops that can be raised on the farm
and at the same time the most pro-
ductive.
This year has been an unusually
good year and number of crops have
been harvested that yielded from so
to IS bushels to the acre Each year
the farmers are becoming more en-.
lightened as to the profits of raising
oats and larger acreages are sown, and
In spite of the increased yield of the
State and county, the price has grad
ually advanced to the present mark.
The West is having great difficulty
to compete with the middle south in
this one particular, as here the seas
ons are better and the cost of produc.
ton is not so great. The quality has
been improved each year, and the
present crop is excellent, and com.
pares well with the Northern grown
article.
The first car load of oats shipped
from this county was shipped Monday
by S. E. Calender & Co., to Montgom.
cry, Ala. This car contained 1000
and averaged 421a cents per
