Gated on each. 1t is probable that in
no other section Of the South is there
larger percentage of landowning
farmers than in Maury county, but
there is still room for hundreds more
and farming and marketing condi-
tons are such that the small farmer
here is one of the most prosperous of
business men. This is not one-crop
section. Much wheat is produced,
much corn is produced, much grain OF
all kinds is produced. Cotton and to-
bacco are profitable crops here. But
the farmers have never depended
upon any one crop for their money.
They have diversified and have profit
ed thereby. Most Of the crops are

eight months in the year. When pu-
pills of the county's elementary schools

More than two thirds of the recent
graduates of these institutions have
lived in the country. They come
from all parts of the county some on
the trains, others through the country
while many board in the city. 1t is
planned at not distant day to acquire

that the pupils from THE country can
live here at the minimum of cost.
The per centage of illiteracy in the
county among the younger people has

Farming land in Maury county has
become established in the minds OF
sound thinking business men as safe
investment. Being an ideal section
for live stock raising, that industry,
always a leading one in this section,
has increased immensely with the IN
PRODUCTION of modern methods and an
increase in pure bred breeding stock
The only decline in live stock has
been in the race horse department,
although that has been by no means
abandoned. In years gone by Maury
county was famed as the greatest
race horse producing section OF the
world. That may not be true today
because more attention is now being
given to the production of the finest
cattle. hogs. sheep and mules in the
world. But the race horse still has
its place on the farms of Maury coun-
ty and each year finds new string of
colts going out on the circuits to make
records in keeping with the best.

The greatest opportunity for devel-
opment in the real estate business in
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1919-02-28

One of the marvels of business in
Maury county during 1918 was the
enormous increase in realty transac-
tons. The big demand for food pro-
ducts, which form the principal items
of products from the farms OF this
county, enhanced the value of land
until it became virtually commercial
commodity and was bought and sold
on an open market just like anything
else. Real estate dealers reaped a
legitimate harvest and they did not
handle one half Of the sales.
Real estate transactions during the
year, exclusive of mortgages, amount
ed to $3,100,950, which was an in
crease of 80 per cent over the total
of each of the two preceding years
1t was thought in 1916 when realty
transfer totals reached $2,096,2SO, a
20 per cent increase over 1915, re-
cord year, that the top had been reach
ed But the following year the total
was practically as large, being $2,077,-
$50, and that amount was exceeded
by SO per cent during 1913.
The sums represented in the trans
actions for the year were not repre-
sented in fictitious values or figures,
but the actual prices paid for the land.
Some of the best farming land near
the city sold for about $500 an acre,
while land that sold early in the year
for $3.50 and 5000 per acre were being
held for $3.50 to $500 at the close of
the year Improved farming methods,
which produced from the soil all that
was possible, together with the high
prices for farm products were the
causes responsible for the increased
price of land.
Several good farms changed hands
two or three times during the year,
each time al higher price, while
some of the transactions were on
farms that had been held by the con-
veyor for many years and We're re-
leased only after the most insistent
offers. tfrss n YES " TffE@
Real estate activity was by no
means in the nature of boom, re-
sulting from a periodic effort to boost
sales, but was consistent from month

was, so far as its, public schols were
concerned, near the bottom of the
list. 1t then had no county high
schools, its tax levy for the elemen-
tary schools was among the lowest in
Tennessee and the average term was
Jess than six months.
Now the county has a well develop
ed system of elementary schools with
"a school at every school house for
.eigh months in the year. In addition
there are at several centers what in
the olden times were described as sec
.ondary schools, but are now designat-
ed as second or third class high
schools.
During the past decade number or
schools have been consolidated and
some splendid country school houses
been erected. Notable examples OF
this movement are to be found at
Woodrow, Enterprise and at Graham.
The citizens of those communities
have supplemented county funds to &C.
ouire lands and erect substantiaT and
handsome buildings. Ten grades are
taught.
The high efficiency of the teaching
corps in the public schools OF the
county was fully attested in the hrst
inform state examinations following
the enactment of the law, when Maury
