With top hogs selling at five cents
above the eleven dollar mark in Louis
ville local dealers are offering above
ten cents here, some as high as ten

pounds and upwards. Even the light
er grades are bringing nine and half
cents on the local market and pigs
eight cents and above. However, in
spite of the fine prices the shipments
will be- light for some time. There
are comparatively few hogs in. the
county ready for market now. The
high price of corn last fall caused
pretty heavy liquidation. For the
season of the year the market is high
er here than it has been since the
spring of 1910 However, during last
year farmers got a few cents more for
their hogs than they can get now.

ing it for the fight that it has made
against the free text book lobby and

aid for the splendid fight that it had
made upon these issues. The associa.
ton went on record unanimously
against both propositions.

gram was rendered and he found the
school officers OF the state unanimous
upon every question that was present.
ed. Mr.. Harris said that not only had
he enjoyed the meeting greatly, more
han any that he had ever attended,
but that he believed that it was the
most profitable that had been held
since this organization, the pioneer
school organization Of the state, had
been launched.
1t is generally believed that the as
sociation in its condemnation of the
agitation for free text books struck
that iniquity a body blow,s as the
school officers have been a potent fac.
tor for many years in shaping and
directing school legislation. Many of
the reforms in the school laws of

FARMERS MAY HAVE
RENDERING PLANT
IN MAURy COUNTY
CONCERN TO SAVE THE ENOR.
NOUS WASTE THROUGH BURN.
ING DEAD ANIMALS.
HAVE THEM ALL UTILIZE
At Instance OF Col. Fry The Local
Society Formally Endorses The
Project-selieved That it Would be
Profitable.

At the instance of Col John w. Fry
the Maury County Farmers Society
has given it's endorsement to the prop
osition to have erected in Columbia a
rendering plant, one to utilize the dead
animals of the county. Col. Fry has
been for some time investigating the
question of the location of such a
plant here and has become convinced
that it would not only be a paying
proposition for the promoters but
would be of vast benefit to the farmers
of the county.
Col. Fry say that to utilize all of the
dead animals of the county, the hogs,
sheep, the mules and cattle and horses,
would turn into revenue what now
amounts to total loss A part of
these animals would be utilized in
making tankage, part, the hair for
olaster and great deal used for max
ing grease.
At once Col Fry will take the mat
ter up with number who are looking
for the location of such a plant He
will also probably advertise in some
Of the trade journals that there is
such an opening in Maury county.
The matter was most favorably con-
sidered by the farmers aud the pro-
moter is assured the hearty co-opera-
ton of the people of the coutny.
Discussing the proposed plant Col
Fry said: 81 am absolutely sure that
besides proving of great convenience
to the farmers of the county, saving
them the expenses and labor of burp<
ing carcasses, the plant would be
profitable. Take for example the
number Of mules that die every week
at the concentration point of Guyton
& Harrington Co. All this could be
utilized"
