$4,000 IN ORDERS FOR
FIVE TEXAS COWS.

w. r. Tucker, Agricultural Field
Agent of the ABBA Ry. Co, left
Fitzgerald Friday, Sept 18th, with a
party of Georgia farmers and stock
men with orders to purchase fifteen
hundred head of beef COWS in Texas
for distribution among farmers living
and Alabama The value of the or
ders aggregates $4,000. 1t is expect
ed that as soon as the purchasers ac-
tually see the cattle which will be
purchased for them, many of them
will duplicate their orders.
This is by far the largest single
shipment of high grade cattle ever
made into the Southeast. The ABBA
Ry., working in cooperation with the
National Government to stimulate
greater food production in the South,
has worked to induct many farmers
and business men to purchase some
of these Texas cattle for breeding
purposes. Texas farmers find it alb
solutely necessary to sell their cat
tie within the next thirty days, owing
to a protracted drouth, and while
this stuff is thin, the cattle which
Mr.. Tucker will buy will be in good
condition, and will put on flesh quick
ly as soon as they have access to pas
lures. and particularly the velvet bean
fields, which are just maturing.
Mr.. Tucker will remain in Texas,
care Westbrook Hotel, Fl. Worth, for
ten days or two weeks. Farmers along
the line of the ABBA Ry. in Georgia
and Alabama are invited to place or
ders through their Demonstration
Agent, who can furnish detailed in
formation, with Mr.. Tucker for some
of these cattle.

PEcT FIRST FROST

Truckers and gardeners planning
for late crops should be aided in de-
termining their best bets" on the
first frost by referring to this his
toical summary Of frost occurrence
es in arious sections, just issued by
the United States weather bureau:
Killing frost has never occurred
earlier than Sept. 10 south of the eb-
IRENE southwestern portion of South
Dakota. extreme Southern Minneso-
ia, Central Wisconsin and the interi-
or northern portion of Lower Mich
igan. 1t has never occurred earlier
than October l south of the ertreme
north portions of Oklahoma and Ar
kansas, Southern Tennessee and the
mountain districts of North Carolina
and Virginia. 1t has never occurred
earlier than October 20 to the south
ward of the ertreme northeastern
portion Of Texas, Northern Louisi-
ana, the central portions Of Mississip-
pi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carroll
ma and Eastern North Carolina.
The chances are even that killing
frost will not occur before Septem-
Der Is in most of North Dakota,
Montana and the extreme, northern
portion of Minnesota. By the first
few days in October killing frost oc-
ours on the average one year in two
as far south as the southern portion
of Nebraska, Southern and Eastern
Iowa, Southern Wisconsin, most o t
the interior portion of Lower Michi-
gan and throughout the greater part
of New England. By October Is it
may be expected in at least half the
years as far south as the central por-
lions of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, throughout Eastern Kentuc-
ky and the mountainous sections of
the Virginias.
There is one chance in two that

Central Oklahoma, Central Arkansas
and the northern portions of Mississ-
ippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Caro-
lima and Eastern North Carolina. The
chances are even that it will occur
by November Is little south OF the
central portions of Texas and Louisi-
ana and we'll toward the southern
portions of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia. This does not mean that
killing frost will occur in the locali-
ties and on the dates specified every
other year, put that in the lonb run
it occurs, as indicated, in half the
years.
There prevails in some sections
pOpular belief that in the season
when frost may be expected its oc-
currence is largel influenced by the
phase Of the moon or other periodical
phenomena. Careful tabulation OF
frost data and its comparison with
moon phases fails to disclose any
such relation. All persons interested
are. therefore, cautioned to watch
not the moon, but the forecasts is
sued b the weather bureau.

VIII Take Advantage of the Oppor
tunity to See State Institution il
Operation.

Members Of the Maury county court
will go to Jackson Friday for the pur,
pose of visiting the West Tennessee
Experiment station and ascertainng
whether or not an institution of the
same kind for Middle Tennessee would
be worth the appropriation of 100000
by the Maury county court to secure
its location in this county. 1t is not
known whether the entire member
ship will 90, but enough have signified
their intention to make the trip worth
while.
The party will leave Columbia at
500 o'clock Friday morning for Nash
vile and make connection there with
an N, c. & st. l.. train, which arrives
in Jackson at 1880 They will be car
ried in automobiles from the depot to
the experiment station where they
will spend two hours in a thoroug!
inspection of the farm, and return in
time to catch a train which leaves
Jackson at 3:1S. They will get back
to Columbia at 1920 Friday night.
Those who go to Jackson will have
the single purpose of acquainting
themselves with experiment station
work as conducted by the experts of
the department of agriculture and the
division of extension of the state col
lege of agriculture. They will observe
what has been done to increase the
yield of the soil and the methods
adopted for getting the best results
from proper breeding and feeding of
live stock. They will also ascertain
the method of discriminating the infor-
nation secured by the experiments at
the station, such as by personal visits
of the farmers of that section of the
state, the distribution of bulletins, and
free demonstrations and lectures.
1t is thought by members of the
court that this will be the best meth
cd to remove all doubt from their
minds as to the real purpose and oper-
alton of an experiment station and to
learn what benefits from it could be
expected by Maury county should the
Middle Tennessee Experiment station
be established in this county.
