S6,WO,OOO Loss In New York
Explosion and Fire.
WAREHOUSES BURN
Three Dead and Many Injured By
Shock That Shakes Five States
Washington Gets Tip Of
impending Danger.

New York Property loss estimated
at s25, 600, 900 was caused early Sun
day by series Of terrific explosions Of
ammunition awaiting shipment to the
entente allies and stored on Black Tom
Island. small strip Of land jutting in
to New York Bay off Jersey City.
The loss Of life cannot be deter
mined definitely until there has been
opportunity to check up the workmen
employed on the island and on boats
moored nearby.
Three are known to be dead and at
least five more are missing. Scores
Of persons were injured, some Of them
probably mortally.
The detonations, which were felt in
five states, began with continuous
rapid fire of small shells, the blowing
up Of great quantities of dynamite,
trinitrotoluene and other high explo-
sives, followed by the bursting of
thousands Of shrapnel shells, which
literally showered the surrounding
country and waters for many miles
around.
Fire started soon after the first
great crash, which spread death and
desolation in its wake, destroyed 13 Of
the huge warehouses of the National
Storage company on Black Tom Island
and six other warehouses in which
we're stored merchandise valued at be-
tween $12, 900, 900 and SIS, 900, 600.

The cause of the disaster has not
been determined. Officials of the Ma
tional Storage company and the Lehigh
Valley railroad, which also suffered
heavily through loss of property, de-
clared, however, that reports to them
showed a fire started shortly after 1
o'clock Sunday morning on barge
belonging to an Independent towing
company that had been nnored along
side dock used by the railroad COM
pany to transfer ammunition ship
ments from trains to vessels in the
harbor.
The barge, it was said was there
without authority of either the rail-
road or the storage company. The
officials refused to disclose the name
Of the independent towing company,
saying they were investigating ito
ascertain whether the barge purposely
had been set on fire as the result of a
plot.

ACTUAL SUPPLY LESS ALSO THAN

ADVANCE OF TWENTY PER CENT

Dealers Urge That Orders Be Placed
At Once as There is no Hope for
Any Lower Price and It May be

Farmers Of Maury county not only
face an immediate advance of twenty
per cent in the price that they must
pay this season for their binder Irvine,
but there is also a prospect of an
actual shortage before all of the
wheat and oats of the county have
been safely placed in the shocks.
There is an actual scarcity of bind
er twine in the United States. The
international Harvester company, the
largest dealer in the world in binder
Irvine, has been unable to purchase
sufficient sisal to produce the Irvine
necessary to meet its demands. It
placed an order for 446,O00 bales and
got $4,000 bales, or a shortage of over
ten per cent. The sisal producers
have refused to take contracts for
June delivery.
Columbia dealers in Irvine have not
bought as heavily this year as they
usually do and it is estimated that
probably not more than two-thirds Of

CONSIDERABLE PERCENTAGE OF
THE CORN CROP HAS BEEN
PLANTED.
PASTURES ARE MAKING PROGRLSS
Gardens Have Responded To The
Warm Weather of the Past Week.
Demand for Good Seed Corn is Bet
ter Than Usually the Case.

| Splendid progress has been made
during the past week in their work
by the farmers Of Maury county.
Weather conditions have been decided
ly favorable for the preparation Of
land. While there has been less than
the usual rainfall during the past two
weeks, the absence of moisture has
been big aid to farmers in getting
the corn in the ground. A very con-
siderable proportion, probably nearly
half of the corn crop of the county,
has been planted. The dry weather
has made it possible to prepare thor
oughly the seed beds and do an unus-
ual amount of cultivation before the
crop is in the ground
Pastures and clover have grown
rapidly in the past week, although a
little more rain would have been very
helpful Many farmers, who have
been roughing stock through the win
ter have turned them on pasture and
have stopped the drain of depleted
hay ricks and corn cribs. Glover is
growing rapidly and with no untoward
weather conditions the hay crop of the
county should be up to the average.
Gardens have made progress and
are unusually we'll advanced. This is
one year that the people are not wait
ing for Good Friday to plant beans
That date coming unusually late many
have already planted.
Farmers are generally paying more
attention to the quality of their seed
corn and sales of high class seed corn
have been larger than is ordinarily
the case.

LARGE INCREASE
IN CANTALOUPES
ACREAGE AT CULLEOKA WILL BE
DOUBLE THAT OF THE
BEST YEAR.

Culleoka cantaloupe growers will
have, from present indication, an acre
age more than double that of the
largest crop ever planted. About thir-
ty car loads were grown in that sec
ton last year, and with anything like
favorable weather conditions 1t is esti-
mated that the yield this season will
be from seventy-five to a hundred car
loads. With the large majority of the
dealers the crop in the past has been
quite profitable one, worth more to
the acreage than any other crop
grown in that section. The entire
output is handled by the Culleoka
Produce company.

DAIRY
LOCATION OF MILK IN A cow
Seeretory Glands Take Raw Materials
From the Blood and Manufacture
Them Into Product.

In the system of the dairy cow there
are two kinds of glands excretory
glands and secretory glands. A good
example of the excretory gland is the
kidney. An excretory gland does not
manufacture. but simply serves as a
vehicle for transferring waste from
the body.
The secretory glands are manufan-
turers. They take the raw materials
from the blood and manufacture them
into special product. The mammary
gland, located in the upper part of
the udder of the COW, is a secretory
gland. 1t takes the raw materials
from tia blood and manufactures milk.
The large veins seen under the alb.
domen of the COW do not contain milk,
as great many people suppose. They
| contain impure blood. This blood ia
