predict that the crop this season will
be better.
More rain at the right time will,
OF course, help to make the corn crop
better, but in nearly all of the basin
in north of here there was fairly
good season last week so that rain is
not really needed right now. South
OF here there has been no rain for ten
days and two weeks and a good rain
this week win be needed. There is

Big Help TO THE PASTURES
VIII Aid The Farmers Materially In
The Preparation of Their Lands for
The Sowing Of Fall and Winter
Crops.

Copious rains throughout large
portion of Maury county have insured
one Of the biggest crops of corn that
the county has ever grown. In the
northern section of the county and q
portion of the southern part heavy
rains fell during Tuesday afternoon
and evening and gave the ground a
Thorough soaking. At no time this
season has the early corn or the May
corn in the greater part Of Maury
county suffered for the lack of suffi-
csent rain. Some of the early corn
was not cultivated quite as much as
the farmers would like to have culti-
waited it for the reason that the CON
stant rains interfered.
The rains not only were of great
benefit to the corn crop and the pas,
lures, but they will aid very greatly
in the preparation of the lands for
fall sowing. In places, due to the hard
packing rains, it had become difficult
to turn clover land, especially because
OF the extremely hot weather but now
the land will be in splendid condition
for turning and preparation.
There was also a most welcome
drop in the temperature as the result
of the rainstorm. During the after.
noon the mercury scared into the nine
ties, but within short time after the
rain came 1t had dropped twenty de,
grees and the night was most de-
lightful one.

tage of the opportunity"

ons why Maury county is called the

was the one contributed by Mrs. w.

pleasure to reproduce
Il. Because 1t is the beauty spot

THRESH|NG GRAIN OF
COUNTY ALMOST
OVER; YIELD LIGHT
SMALLEST AVERAGE FOR WHEAT
CROP KNOWN IN MANY
YEARS.
auAL!TY ALsO Is IKFERIOR
Production Will Not Begin To Com.
pare With That Of 1914, the Record
Yield Of all Time In the County
Smaller Acreage.

Wheat threshing is practically over
in Mamy county, although there are
still many fields where the grain is
still in the shock. 1t is believed that
three of four more days at the outside
will wind up the threshing Of all small
grain. Damage from the constant
rains of the middle of July was not
near as great as many had feared. It
Is another illustration of the fact that
too often people are prone at the time
Of a disaster, to over-estimate It's
losses.
1t was not the rains of July that
caused the big loss in the wheat crop
Of the county, but 1t was the poor
yield, due largely to the prevalence Of
the Hessian fly. The yield was about
the poorest in the history of the coun-
ty. In fact as one farmer stated the
matter, the crop came nearer being
failure to make anything at all than
ever before known. There were many
fields in the county that ordinarily
yield more than twenty bushels and
sometimes, thirty bushels to the acre,
that did not produce more than seven
or eight bushels to the acre and that
was of an inferior character.
Two years ago, when all former rec.
ords for a fine yield were broken, Il
was estimated that Maury county pro-
duced 100000 bushels of first class
wheat. 1t is estimated the crop this
year will not be more than quarter
Of million bushels. However, much
Of the crop OF 1914 sold from the
thresher at seventy cents. Good wheat
will bring SLIPS from the thresher
now, so that the difference is not as
great in money value as would appear
from the simple statement of the yield.
Again the acreage of 1904 was larger
than that this year. The widespread
prevalence Of the Hessian fly will ma
terially cut the acreage this fall.
