According to the eighth paragraph
Of the plan for the congressional pri-

Let's see. The Herald urged the
democrats of Maury county to vote
in the congressional primary. The
Nashville Banner emphatically told
them not to do So Result: 'Twen-
ty-seven hundred democrats voted,
or within 500 of the number who
voted in the last primary held in the
county for county Offices before
there was party split. Four hun
dred more voted on Saturday than
voted for Wilson two years ago.
The Banner is welcome to all the
consolation that it can get out of the
result in Maury county. The Herald
Is satisfied.

Statistics Show That Grain Is Al.
ways Higher After a War Than
% During lt-America VIII Have to
Feed Europe for Some Years.

The following clipping was handed
to The Herald by one of the leading
grain dealers of the state. 1t so ad
mirably states why wheat should be
planted this fall by Maury county
farmers that it is here reproduced
| 1t is taken from the Northwestern
Miller, the leading grain periodical
of this country.
%. In various positions the Unit
ed States cares from one crop to the
next about 100000 bushels of
wheat. The stock of wheat carried
|by the importing countries is as
great. These stocks are necessary
that one season may be blended into
the next without disturbance. There
will be no such stocks carried over
by the importing countries next year.
In addition to their daily require
ments there will be q continuous ef-
fort to re-establish the reserve stock,
which effort will last for some years
to come.
(2). At present women and chill
dren are completing the wheat har-
vest in Europe. Women and Chill.
dren will, also have to prepare the
next crop and put in such crop as
there is sown. At time when Eu-
rope will need very much more than
a normal crop they can expect moth
ing better than a greatly reduced
acreage.
These two indisputable facts should
move our farmers to such an active
of wheat land that. by
dint Of their exertion, they get in an
enormously increased acreage, If it
takes night and day labor to do It,
The slightest decrease in the wheat
Out-turn in Europe in 1915 will place
a premium on our wheat on the next
crop which will result in the greatest
our farmers have ever
dreamed of. The prosperity of each
farmer will be measured by the vol
ume of wheat he has produced.
In 1864 touring the Civil war; the
highest price wheat sold for in Amer
lea was $1.07 bushel. In 1866, the
first crop after the war, wheat sold
for $2S5. 1t sold as high as $1.30 to
$3.50 every year until 1884, by which
time it had settled down to about 81.
This and all other historical facts
prove that the crops after the war
are the ones inuring to the benefit of
farmers. |
There appears no reason why the
european war will not be RESPONSE
BILE for greater loss to the worlds
wheat crop than was caused by the
Civil war.
Farmers should consider the OPP
portunity presented them at the pres
emit time and should prepare for the
greatest possible increase in wheat
acreage.

Glass Sand In Pennsylvania.

The production of sand and gravel in
Pennsylvania in 1913 was 6.7O2.4l9
tons, valued at 1881. 692, against
6,509,333 tons, valued at $3,371,513 in
1912, according to the United States
geological survey. Building sand is
the most important product of this
character in the state, but of greater
relative Importance is glass sand in
the production of which Pennsylvania
ranks first among the states. In the
value of the sand produced, although
not in the quantity, Pennsylvania
ranks first, the precedence in value be
ing due to the high value of the glass
sand compared to other kinds.
