There were 1000 or more persons
assembled to pay final tribute to the

HALF A HUNDRED
S|LOS ARE BUILT
DURING The SEASON
THAT NUMBER ADDED TO EVI.
DENcES FARM PROSPERITY
IN MAURY COUNTY.
MANY OF VERY LARGE CAPACITY
Farmers OF The County Are Busy
These Days Filling Them, Corn,
Sorghum and Peas Being Used-Econ-
omy of Making and Saving Feed.

Maury county farmers continue to
build silos. II is estimated by those
Who are in position to know that dur
ing the past summer no less than fifty
silos have been added to the number
in the county. 1t is only within very
recent years that there have been
more than one or two silos in a COM
munity and until four or FIVE years
ago that there were some quite large
sections Of the county that did not
know silo.
Farmers who have built silos are
almost without exception enthusiastic
advocates Of that method OF preserv-
ing feed for stock and it is expected
that every year the number will be
increased until the county will be lit
orally dotted with them.
All over the county farmers who
have silos are busy these days filling
them. Corn is the favoriate feed for
the silo, although many of them will
be filled this year with sorghum and
peas.
The silos\built this summer have an
average capacity OF 100 tons or more.
Several Of $50 tons capacity have been
built but few Of less than hun
dred tons would probably reduce the
average TO near 100 tons capacity.
Some of the farmers who have used
their silos declare that all expenses
carefully kept show that ensilage is
by far the cheapest feed on the farm.

GOT FIRST PRIZE
DiSTANCED ALL COMPETITORS IN
THE APPLE EXHIBIT AT
STATE FAIR.

In its report of the prizes on apples
at the State Fair, The Herald inadvert-
emily reversed the names Of the win
ners. Isiah c. Murphy was the winner
of the first prize and Marvin H. Fly,
of the second prize. Mr.. Murphy has
not in years been defeated for first
prize on apples, either at the State
Fair or at the Tri-State Fair at Mem
phis. He has also won a number of
premiums at other fairs in the South
and is acknowledged to be one Of the
most expert growers Of fruit in the
state. His orchard is now a thing Of
beauty, some of the trees being lit
orally covered with the red fruit Mr..
Fly is also a most successful grower
N apples, but not quite as we'll known
as Mr.. Murphy at the fairs His sue
cess this time, however, leads to the
hope that he will soon become one OF
the best known in the state.

tROBABLI ORIGINATOR Of IDtD
Will Tell What Great Advantages vii
Accrue to Southland After Location
Of Government Nitrate Plant At
Muscle Shoals.

An added attraction for the great
corn festival to be held in Columbia on
October 80 is the exhibition of the
maps and plans by Col j. ". Worth

posed location of the government nj.
trate plant. Col. Worthington himself
will be in Columbia and will lecture
on the advantages that will accrue to
the Southland ii the attempt to get
the location of the plant is successful.
Col Worthington is probably the
originator of the idea of damning the
Tennessee at Muscle Shoals and OBJ
tanning great water power. by this
means. He has prepared series of
maps which will show the Shoals, the
proposed Nitrate Plant, and the situa-
ton of the country as regards the
Shoals. The arguments that he will
present to the citizens on the great
day are said to be the most convinc
ing that could be arranged. His pres
ence is expected by the officials of the
show to add largely to the interest and
the number of people who will attend
Col Worthington lives at Sheffield,
near the proposed location of the
plant. He knows conditions at Mus
Gle Shoals. He knows that the loca-
ton of the nitrate plant at that place
will mean the future prosperity of the
South. This fact he will demonstrate
to the citizens at the big gathering.
No let-up is being made by the COM
mittee in charge of the show. Almost
every day a new idea is worked out
by those in charge toward the perfec-
ton of the great exhibit.

FARkIo Is PLEASED
AT MAUkY SHOWING
COUNTY AGENT DELIGHTED OVER
WINNING so MANY PRIZES
AT THE FAIR.

Prof o. L. Farris, county agent, re-
turned this morning from the State
Fair, where he has been for several
days looking after the Maury county
agricultural exhibits. Mr.. Farris was
naturally very much pleased with the
showing made by this county, which
took the sweepstakes in the corn ex-
hibit and also the first and second
prizes on apples. Mr.. Farris stated
that the corn exhibit was one of the
best that he had ever seen, but if he
had been given a little more time he
believed that he could have assembled
an exhibit from the county that would
have been better even than that which
took the prize. Mr.. Farris was en-
thusiastic over the interest which
Maury county farmers took in the eX-
hibit and the cooperation which they
extended him. He said that on every
hand he heard words Of praise for the
corn and apples FROM this county. A
number of we'll known apple growers
in the state told him that the exhibit
of Isiah Murphy could not be surpassed
in the South.

STATE MAY GET ESTATE.
Public Administrator Takes Possession
of Estate of Haig Booloodian
Who Died From Broken Heart.

Public Administrator Henry J. Hast
ings has taken possession of the estate
Of Haig Booloodian, a Kenosha Ar
menian, who died recently in the hos
pital. The estate of the man will be
held in trust for his wife and children
in Armenia if they can be located,
Shortly before Booloodian was taken
to the hospital he had been notified
that his wife and children had been
taken captive by the Turks. It is de-
clared that this news brought on his
fatal illness. Since his death other Ar
menians in the city have made an eff
fort to get some trace of the wife and
children but no word has been receiv-
ed from them. It is thought probable
that they have met slaughter at the
hands Of the Turks. The estate of
Booloodian consists of only small
amount of personal property and if his
relatives can not be located it will be
left in the hands of the public admin
istrator until such time as it re-
yerts to the state under the provisions
of the Wisconsin law.

WIDELY KNOWN IN COUNTY
Came Here in 1864 and Opened First
Summer Report at Powers Lake More
Than 45 Years Ago Prominent
Tn Advancement Of the Town.

Henry G. Benedict, aged rs years, pio-
neer Of the town of Randall and widely
known throughout Kenosha county died
at the home Of Mrs. Ann Griffin at the
corner of Prairie Avenue and Sheridan
road on the night of New Years day.
Mr.. Benedict had come in from his
home at Powers Lake ten days ago
to spend a few days with friends in
the city. aree days before Christmas
he was stricken with paralysis and he
never regained consciousness.
Funeral services will be held from the
old homo at Powers Lake at one clock
Tuesday afternoon and the remains will
be laid at rest at the family plot at the
Mound Prairie Cemetery.
Few men had been more widely
known in Kenosha county than Henry
Benedict. He was the father of the
summer resort business on the lakes Of
Kenosha county and for nearly fifty
years had been the proprietor of a
summer hotel on the banks Of Powers
lake. Out to Benedict 50 was a slo,
gan of the summer resorters in the pio-
neer days of Kenosha and until short
time before his death Mr.. Benedict had
been very successful in the operation Of
the summer resort.
The deceased was son of the late
Charles Benedict, one Of the first set
tiers OF the western part of Kenosha
county. He was born in New York
state March IS, 1910. He came to Ke-
nosha county with his parents in 1861
and settled on the old farm on the
banks Of Powers Lake. He opened the
first summer resort in the county more
than forty-five years ago and had been
in charge of it ever since. For the last
four years he had not been active in
handling the business but up to the
time of his death he continued to take
an interest in the resort.
He was active in the affairs of the
town of Randall for many years and
had served as school trustee and as
member of the town board on several
occasions. He was widely known
among Chicago people who for years had
been spending a part of the summer at
Powers Lake.
Mr.. Benedict is survived by his
widow and one daughter, Mrs. F. K.
Brewster, both of whom were with him
when the end came.
