THE MAURY COUNTY
FLOODED HORSE IS
KNOWN WORLD OVER
ARGOT HAL AMONG THE MOST
VALUABLE STATIONS OF
THE COUNTRY.
Horse Review Shows Number of
the Greatest Events of the Sea-
son Won by Horses From the
County of Maury.

1t seems that the Maury county
horse is sustaining his reputation
and the year 1911 is furnishing am
pie evidence of this statement There
has hardly been an important meet
anywhere that Maury Coun-
ty horse or horse of the
Maury county strain has not
shown we'll to the front in the prin-
cipal events. This is more than true
in our state events, where our en-
tries have captured almost every
thing they went after.
The season is yet early, but in
making up the summary of the win
ners during the past few days the
current number of the Horse Review
shows up enough to make every Maui
ry countian proud of our horse pro-
duct And why shouldn't he be?
Many a man never heard of Meury
county until Star Pointer 1854
made his famous record, and many
another never knew of Columbia un-
til the Hal horse family gave us
fame. Our fine horses have been a
greater medium of advertising for
this county than any other, and this
statement is no reflection on those
who have lent honor and iustre to the
State.
According to these summaries more
Maury county horses have gone to
the front in the really important
events than those from all other sec
lions combined

Three men went to market, A, B and
C. A had 10 eggs, B had 20 eggs, C had
80 eggs. On the way they stopped at a
store where each sold part of his eggs
and each received the same price per egg.
On reaching the market each sold the
remainder and again each received the
same price per egg. Then it was found
each had received the same amount for
his eggs. How did they sell them?

A most unfortunate incident connected
with the visit of the big circus to St. Jo-
seph on Thursday was the robbery Of the
residence of Mr.. W. NJ Davidson, when
family jewels and diamonds to the value
of about four thousand dollars were stol-
en-. The jewels were deposited in secret
drawer of dresser and which was known
to none but the family The robbery is
supposed to have occurred while the fam
lily we're in attendance on the evening
performance. Every effort was made by
the local officials to find clue TO the
robbery, but the thief was evidently an
expert at his work and so completely
covered up his tracks that up to this
time no clue has been discovered.
In addition to the intrinsic value Of
the stolen iewelry, many Of the pieces
were heirlooms, which makes the loss
more felt. Mr.. Davidson has offered
reward of $4,000 for the recovery OF the
property.

The Irish fst,ts Crop.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Nov. IL, 1911.
Mr.. Editor:-f your farmers desire t.
do anything in the crop diyersifcatiol
line next season the following letter from
Mr.. L. C. Corbitt, Horticulturalist, L.
Is. Department Of Agriculture, with ref
erencc to Irish potato growing, seed po-
tasoes, potato diseases, &C.. will be o.
much interest:
wxrmSerox, d. c., Nov. 3, 1911
Mr.. l.. A. Markham,
Commissioner OF Agriculture,
Little Rock, Arkansas.
Dear sir-Have your letter under date
of October 30th.
In regard 70 the potato situation this
fall will say thst the crop east Of the
Rocky Mountains is generally very short.
In the Colorado districts east Of the
mountains there will be probably in the
neighborhood of 80 per cent of crop.
In the middle west, including Minnesota
and Wisconsin. there will probably be
in the neighborhood Of 65 per cent or a
per cent of crop, while in New York
and the New England States | do not
think the crop will run more than sc
or 65 per cent. The prices are bound to
be far above normal this autumn and
prospects are that the spring crop will
be in good demand at remunerative
prices. Conditions this autumn will ne.
cessitate higher cost OF seed stock,
which win Of course increase the cost Of
the spring stock to the grower. In adj
vlsipg your growers in regard to the sec
ton from which TO get seed be very care
ful to advise that they get them from
northern latitudes, free from disease.
We are having great deal Of trouble
through the trucking areas as well as
other sertions with potato diseases, both
those which affect the vines and those
which affect the tubers. Would advise
that you draw largely from Wisconsin
and Minnesota for your seed rather than
western sources.
Trusting that this is the character o.
information you desire, am,
Very truly yours.
L. A. CoRnfrr,
Horticulturaist in Charge
With reference to this letter desire to
say that all advices now point for High
prices for Irish potatoes next spring.
Seed potatoes will also be high but this
is the condition mos favorable to potato
growing as it forecasts profitable prices
for the crop. The diseases spoken OF in
Mr.. Corb!tt's letter are found almost ex-
clusively in those sections that have been
growing potatoes extensively for many
years, and the potato growers in your
section need not have apprehension OF
troubleifrom this source.
II your farmer readers desire any fur
Their information on this suject shall
cheerfully answer all inquiries.
Yours very truly,

Commissioner of Agriculture. Iron Mt.

proeity Proposition Reflects No
Discredit to the President.

Canada has slammed the door in
our faces. But as We had been hold
ing the door shut for forty years il
hardly behooves Us TO adopt a very
contemptuous attitude. IL is true Can
ada has had the benefit OF experience
and ought by this time to know bet
ter Yet there is a certain splendor
in her folly. Only a people with the
insolent confidence and needless pas
sion of youth would turn away from
such an opportunity-the opportunity
freely to trade with 100000 900 OF the
richest and most extravagant people
on earth.
OF course the talk OF annexation
was buncombc. unfortunately given
color by the untimely jocular chamvin-
ism of Mr.. Champ Clark and the pos-
sibly calculated echo OF Mr.. Mana and
others in congress. And 1t is unfor-
tunate that the conservative campaign
in Its lack Of sound economic reasons
should have felt It necessary and
found II profitable to work upon ma
tional prejudice and infiame national
enmity against a friendly neighbor.
That is the aspect of the reciprocity
episode which is. without mitigation.
deplorable.
So far AZ the failure of the conven-
ton is concerned 1t will please mill
ions of Americans and be of advantage
to at least thousands. But as the
benefits to be expected by the United
states would have been very gradual
ly registered and very broadly spread,
disappointment cannot be very keen.
The reciprocity measure was one OF
broad. beneficent. and far-seeing
statesmanship. certain to work to the
advantage OF the two peoples. with.
out any of those sinister complica.
tons which conservative chauvinism
imagined. But since il is beaten the
