MUST PAY
FOR SEWER
CONNECTION
WINDSOR TOWN BOARD DECln
ED TO REQUIRE CONTRACT
OF C. E, EVANS, WHOSE PROP
ERTY is OUTSIDE DISTRICT

Windsor, Nov. 29.-It was decid-
ed at the meeting OF the town board
this week that C. E. Evans, VINO
had sewer connections made with
his property some time ago without
entering into contract with the
town as required of all whose prop
erty is outside the sewer district,
be billed for $51 and q contract
similar to that required of others
under the same circumstances.
Mr.. Evans expressed his willing
ness to abide by whatever rules are
customary in the matter, but stated
that he thought the sewer main
should be extended to his alley: he
said that he had thought that liv-
ing within the town limits he was
entitled to all the rights and privi-
lege of any other citizen and had
left the matter to his plumber.
Mr.. Kirk, the plumber. was re-
quested to appear before the board
at the next meeting and show why
his plumbing license should not be
revoked. In the meantime the IL
cense was suspended until such
time as the matter is adjusted salts
factorily to the board.
The town attorney was instructed
to draft an ordinance prohibiting
the use Of sidewalks as bicycle
coArse and willful obstruction OF
walks, it having been learned on
that the ordinance
covering this practice was repealed
acme wears ago.

DR.. Oct0n tells me that MS Focoul

nation and that he hopes to find
means of control for some at least
of our potato troubles.
Potatoes are on the jump and
prices have gone up rapidly for this
season, in view OF the imposstbtltty
of making good any shortage now.
European potatoes are shut out for
fear Of importing such dangerous
diseases as black wart. All three OF
the judges made short talks In the
theater, Grubb mainly on cultural
methods and whole seed, Professor
Stewart on the varieties the govern
ment was growing which so far show
resistance to disease. The $4,000

to $500 this season and about 100
kinds will be sent out next year to
test their adaptability to different
soil and climatic conditions.

HOG PACKING ONE
OF COUMTY'S BIG
INDUSTRIES BEGINS
N. E. ALLEN THE FIRST WITH A
KILL OF FiFTY-sEvEN BIG
PoRKERS.
WEATHER IS SIMPLY ideal
Expected That the Number Of Swine
Packed in This Section This Year
Will Be Larger Than In Many.
Growth Of the Business.

Hog killing commenced in Naury
county on Friday with the first real
hog killing spell of the year. M e.
Allen, OF the second district, one of
the big stock and hog men of the
county, started the ball to rolling by
killing fifty-seven head. Mr.. Aliens
hogs were large and fat, averaging
800 pounds each making his PACK for
the day more than 1900 pounds of
meat. It is Mr.. Aliens intention to
pack largely more than this number
of hogs and with the early start that
he has made it is probable that he
will pack more this season than ev.
er before.
Hog packing is one of the big indus
tries of this county. There are a
number of farmers who pack hun.
dreds each year and some go as high
as 1000 each. Probably Col. E N.
Woodland is the largest in the county
and one of the largest in Middle Ten
nessee. Another big packer is Har-
dy Shelley, of the second district. In
fact the majority OF the big packers
are located in the western and north
western section of the county. How
ever, the industry is spreading 20 9TH
er sections. Last year the Culleoka
Produce Company at Cullekoa erect
ed large packing house and packed
some two hundred head This num-
Der will be largely increased this
year. Park Bros, of this city, and
Joe Parks are also big packers. With
the low price Of corn it is believed
that the packers will be enabled to
make better profits this year than US
ual
This has been ideal weather for
hog killing. This morning was the
coolest of the season. Many o. the
streams of the county were frozen
over, although of course the ice was
very thin. The mercury went several
degrees below freezing.

FINE WEATHER
AIDS FARM WORK
TlLLERS OF THE SOIL ARE BET
TER ADVANCED THIS YEAR
THAN IN A LONG TIME.

Never before in years have the
farmers of this section been favored
with finer weather for the fall work
than they have this season AS a re-
suit farm work is perhaps better ad-
vanced than it has been in a long
time. Practically all Of the wheat
crop has been sown, and the wheat
sown on stalk land been put in the
ground earlier than usual and win
get better start before the winter
freezs come than ordinarily is the
case. More winter cover crops have
been sown than usual. Corn gather
ing is far advanced and an immense
amount Of the crop has gone On the
market despite the big drop in the
price. The potato crop has been dug
and generally speaking was a disap-
pointment.

FARMERS HAVE HAD
GREAT OPPORTUNITY
DURING THE week
THE COURSE CLOSED WITH .Ec.
TURES OF THE MORNING.
ENDING AT NOON.
ATTENDANCE WAS SATISFACTORY
Among the Most Attractive and In
teresting Features Was the Atten-
ton Given to stock-A Tribute to
Maury County Land.

With the lectures of today the ag,
ricultural short course for Maury
county closed, and while the attend
ance at the day meetings was not
what it was two years ago the attend
ants and instructors were more than
pleased with the work of the week.
The interest during the week has
gradually increased until the latter
part of the week the number who
heard the lectures was largely in ex-
cess of the first two days.
The instructions with blackboard
demonstrations on how to manage the
different crops in which the farmers
of this section are interested were
most beneficial, and many there we're
who kept their note book and pencil
ready at all times to jot down just
such things as they desired to use
later on. The judging of mules and
horses and the information derived
from the experts who led in the talks,
was one OF the strongest features OF
the week, while another strong fea-
ture was the discussion and Judging
Of Jersey cattle.
The spraying of fruit trees and the
pruning of the vines and trees was
another important matter that was
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1912-11-22

thoroughly demonstrated, the spray
ing apparatus and the pruning hooks
and knives to be used for correct and
proper results.
Prof. Morgan told the Maury coun
ty farmers in his lecture this morning
that they were living In the nnest
country in the world for diversified
and rotary crops.
Especially pleasing has 1t been to
the instructors that the teachers In
the schools Of the city have been at
tending the night meetings.
The instructors together with all
their demonstration apparatus will
go to GAINESVILLE, where they will be
engaged all next week.
