LITTLE WINTER PASTURAGE
Generally Are Optimistic Over the
Prospects Declaring That Good
Crops Follow Hard Winters.

Not in years has the wheat crop of
Maury county been more unpromis-
ing than II is at this time. The plant
has been practically at stand still
for the past six weeks The constant
cold weather during that time has alb
solutely stopped its growth. The
constant freezing and thawing has
thrown the roots out of the ground.
The crop is perhaps affording less
pasturage this season that it has In
many years. A large number of the
fields in the county are not even
green, the growth of the crop having
been so slight. This is especially SO
Of the late sown wheat planted after
corn.
Rye has also been retarded after
the excessively cold weather and is
giving less pasturage than usual.
About the only first class winter pas
turagc in the county is the barley
that was sown very early. There is
practically no grass at all and the
country presents an unusually som.
bre and drab appearance.
The uninterrupted wet weather OF
December and the constant cold of
January put farm work far behind.
There are hundreds of fields In the
county that usual have been prepar-
ed for planting long ere this time
that have hardly had furrow turned
in them. There have been but one
or two days since December l when
the land where corn was planted
last year has been dry enough to ad.

any of the lands of the county have

counted Oil the fingers of one hand
But despite the severe weather and
the backwarduess of farm work, farm
ers generally are optimistic over crop
conditions. They declare that the
wheat croE is yet to be made or ruin
ed and that good crop years almost
invariably follow hard winters.

much for them at the first attempt,
although they managed to get through
later on.
On the way through the smoke
filled rooms people were met who
were conveying women and old men
out to the fresh air. The heat was
frightful and the lungs of the daring
ones were filled with the acrid smoke.
There were some startling features
to the fire, chief among them being
the way some of the bandsmen slid
down the veranda posts. One man
threw his trombone over the rail to
the ground and followed It himself in
quick order.
The position of the women ana men
who were isolated on the balcony
was serious for a while. If the fire
had been a quick blaze there would
surely have been some deaths. The
women behaved bravely, and although
half smothered by the smoke, made
no attempt to jump or throw them
selves over the balcony rails,
The fire was confined to the two
back rooms on the second floor, and
a huge collection of fireworks that
was stored there went up in smoke.
The fire started through some man
throwing a huge frecracker into the
room where the store of fireworks
was kept.

While the band played the Chinese
national air a force of nimble Chinese
boys skipped about the lawn lighting
giant firecrackers which drowned out
the music and made enough noise and
smoke to suggest the battle of Nan

yellow, blue, white and black-was

and from the veranda the consul read
the announcement of his orders from
Washington. English Secretary DR.. K.
