new WHEAT BEING
MADE INTO FLOUR
COL UMBlA MILL & ELEVATOR
COMPANY PREPARING TO
RELIEVE FAMINE.

Grinding Of flour from the new
wheat crop commenced with the CO.
lumbia Mill e Elevator company t1is
morning The wheat so far received
has come FROM William P. Ridley and
John NJ Gray but the mill is also re-
ceiving amounts from other farmers.
The wheat is of rather inferior quail
ity. especially that from stalk land.
II is unusually light and poor. This
is no doubt due in large measure 10
the fact that it followed record
breaking yield of corn that left the
land SO depleted that 1t simply could
not produce maximum yield.
Tho wheat that Is ccmlng In from
clover land is fair. but nothing like
as good as had been expected. Ths
yield for the county will hardly be
equal to an average.
Sale of flour was resumed this
morning under the substitution end
quantity limitations prevailing before
the recent drive for flour for the
United States government.

Some Relief for
Ice Shortage Is
Coming Soon

Some relief is in sight for the acute
ice shortage that has existed in Co.
Iumtia and this county for some time
past More ice is promised today by
Manager Kleopfer who has a supply
of amonia on the way that will enable
him to operate both the plants of the
company The ice shortage has been
felt more in the country towns than
in and around Columbia due to the
fact that preference has been given
in the city where the need was felt
to be greater than where people have
an abundance of cold spring water
and facilities fer taking care of their
butter, meats ard milk. Demands for
the government on the plant have
caused the shortage here and Of
course there may be at times recur-
renee of the situation due to this
cause.
The situation in Nashville is ex-
tremely critical and the Federal Food
Administration today called on Mr..
Kleopffer to- know if he could spare
car for that city, but owing to the
acute situation in this territory he
was forced TO decline.

APPLE CROP OF
COUNTY EXCEEDS
FORMER RECORD
EARLY HARVEST WILL BRING
NOT LESS THAN SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
YIELD EXCEPTIONALLY HEAVY
Prices Have Never Been so High;
Over Thirty Thousand Dollars
Worth Go From the Single Station
Of Spring Hill; Large Shippers.

Never in its history has the apple
crop OF this county been equal either
in volume or in its money value to
that being harvested and shipped now.
This statement applies to the early
harvest apples and may be true Of
later crops.
From the one station of Spring HILL
or Ewells there has already been
shipped twenty eight cars and fifteen
more will go out during the coming
week. These shipments are divided
as follows Henry Pointer, fifteen
cars; Percy Brown of Ewell Farm, 8
cars and John S. Brown of Kedron, 4
from S270 to $500 a car A total Of
forty three cars would make the
money value of apples shipped from
this one station more than $4,000.
The Spring Hill shipments will
probably not run very much over a
third of the county's total which
would place the aggregate value of
the crop at around $4,000 for the
county Watson and Whitney have
shipped from Neapolis two cars and
will ship more
Thomas H. PEBBLES, Richard A.
Wilkes and Curtis w. Martin have
shipped from Campbell's and Culleo,
ka seven cars and have not finished
fathering. The cars average about
500 hampers valued at $1.60 each
Alexander and Murphey have shipped
a dozen cars with more to follow.
There are in addition a number of
smaller shipments that will make Ehe
aggregate value Of the crop not far
from the above estimate.

COLORED WOMEN HAD
LUNCHES FOR MEN
HAS BEEN MADE
PERMANENT AND WILL CON-
TINUE TO HELP SOLDIERS.

Forty happy and stalwart colored
selectmen of Maury county departed
Wednesday afternoon at 5:35 o'clock
for Fort Dodge. Des Moines, Iowa,
where they will be trained for service
overseas. Following their final in
structions at the court house by the
Local Board, the selectmen collected
their baggage and were taken in auto
mobiles by their white friends to the
station, a number of people having
gathered on West Seventh street to
see the departure. At the station a
vast crowd Of colored people, friends
and relatives of the departing men,
had assembled to bid them farewell.
The following report of what was
done by group of colored women for
the departing men was given to The
Herald today:
"The Women's War Council, an or
ganization comprising the colored
women of Maury county, furnished 40
well prepared and palatable lunches,
yesterday to the soldier boys leaving
Columbia. The funds necessary for
the preparations of these lunches were
raised solely by the colored people of
Maury county The Central Baptist
church alone gave SIS. Other churches
and other persons are showing their
patriotism. There being no colored
Red Cross unit in this county, the
colored women decided that there is
a duty for every one to perform in
helping to win this war. And while
the Red Cross and other organizations
are doing noble work, our women feel
that 1t is their full duty to do their
bit Hence this permanent organiza-
ton will continue to prepare lunches
for the colored soldiers leaving Co
lumbia. and also to relieve the worthy
distressed of those dependent upon
them There is work for all"

ELEMENTS ARE AIDING
ITALIANS ON DEFENSE
(By United Press.)

WITH THE ITALIANS AFIELD
June 20.-Ths elements are aiding
the Italians. Heavy rains in the moun,
tain regions have changed the Piave
from a sluggish stream to rushing
flood, destroying bridges flung across
the Pave by the enemy and cutting
off Austrian forces on this side from
their source OF supplies and reinforce
ments.
Trapped on the west bank of the
river, the Austrian detachments have
been subjected to almost constant
malling by the Italian artillery AMI
bombs dropped by allied airmen, WITH
no avenue Of escape.
Enemy losaes on all parts of the
battle trout during the first three days
offensive are now estimated at 15o,-

Record Yield OF
Wheat Is Made On

Thirty six bushels of wheat per acre
on 40 acres is some yield, but that is
just exactly what Hinton S. Frierson,
of Cross Bridges made On field of
forty acres Mr. Frierson threshed ex-
actly 1440 bushels. This wheat is
worth over $4,000 or gross of about
SIS an acre flom the crop.
Mr.. F'riersol will make about 5000
bushels to add in the war to make the
world safe for democracy. His yield
on all of his land will average in
the neighborhood of twenty five or
more bushels to the acre. No such
yield as this has been reported since

The Armour Fertilizer Works Ii
preparing to open it's phosphate prop
erty west of the Century mines on the
old McKennon place and will immed
lately begin the construction of a
plant at a cost of $500 This state.
ment is authoritatively made upon in
formation secured by The Herald
from Joseph Chapman, from whom
the property was purchased and by
whom the operations will be super
yised.
Mr., Chapman stated this morning
that the Armour Fertilizer Works
has already begun the construction of
houses and sheds on the property and
that as rapidly as possible the plant
itself will be constructed Railroad
connections will be made with the
Century Phosphate Co. branch, in
which the Armour people have Sc
cured an interest.
The plant will have a capacity Of
from 200 to $50 cars a day and will
be modern in every feature. The over
burden will be removed by steam
shove.s and the phosphate rock will
be removed by line scrapers to the
washer and dryer. More than rs men
will be required for the operation of
the mines and the plant, which with
the modern machinery used is about
one-fourtl the man power that would
have been required by old methods.
The property contains more than
$50 acres, but no estimate was made
public concerning the quantity of
rock there, but it was said that the
tonnage is sufficient to warrant the
construction OF this great plant. Mr.
Chapman, who has been identified
with the Armour works for some time
will have charge of the operations on
the new property.
The Armour Fertilizer Works also
owns large tract Of phosphate land
in Maury county known as the Bear
Creek Phosphate Co. property. and
has extensive holdings in Hickman
county which may be developed later.
The rock from the McKennon prop
erty will be shipped to the various
fertilizer plants of the country in the
central north and eastern states, as
we'll as to plants at Atlanta and other
southern points.
The rock on this property has
shown a high analysis and fills in
every respect the high requirements
Of the Armour people for the manufac-
ture of fertilizer.
1t is the policy of this company to
maintain its offices on the site of ;ts
plants, but it is likely that a business
office also will be opened in Column
bia.
The opening Of this phosphate
property is one of the biggest indus
trial events that has occurred recent
ly in Maury county. 1t will mean the
investment of a large amount of
money aside from the large payrolls
that will be distributed weekly.
