JERSEY BREEDERS ARE
GlOAT|NG OVER EXPOSURE
FAMOUS HOlSTElN TESTERE
cohFESsES TO FRAUDULENT
PRACTICES.

Jersey cattle breeders OF Maury
county are gloating more or less over
the recent disclosures OF fraud prac-
thed by a certain well known Holstein
breeder in making false tests OF his
herd, enabling him to sell his stock al
enormous prices. In the disclosure,
which is made in a recent issue of
the Holstein-Friesian World and re-
produced in the Jersey bulletin, it is
said that Charles E. Cole. long known
as the most successful seven-day test
er of the Holstein breed has confess
ed that many of his largest tests were
made fraudulentIy. He was for many
years tester for Oliver Cabana, owner
of a famous herd recently dispersed
at an average of 1887, the largest
of all Holstein sales. 1t is alleged
that some OF the cows sold in this
sale were helped in making their
records by Cole. r.
A witness in the investigation made
by the Vermont station declared that
a detective discovered that Cole could
conceal a hot water bottle under his
jumper with the tube extending
through the crotch. The bottle was
filed with warm cream and water
was poured into the milking pail
through the tube from the bottle.
When requested to remove his jumper
while milking the test COWS, Cole re-
fused to do so and left the farm in
his car. He soon returned and said
he had telegram ordering the COW
to be shipped and declaring the test
off.
The executive committee of the Hol-
stein-Friesan association is continuing
the investigation and expects to make
complete exposure Of the fraudu-
lent practices.
Jersey BREEDERS in this section are
saying, 81 told you So" in reference
to the remarkable records said TO have
been made by Holstein cattle.

OVER TON TOBACCO
AN ACRE Of LAND
JAMES A. FLEMING WILL MAKE
RETURN OF NEARLY $500
ON 1T.

Twenty-Five hundred pounds of best
hurley tobacco has been grown this
year by James A. Fleming, OF Zion
section, on a little more than an acre
of land. Mr.. Fleming has not meas
ured the patch of tobacco but he
states that it is only few yards more
than an acre. His crop at % cents a
pound and it is sure to sell for more
than that will bring him in the neigh
borhood of $500 or at the rate of more
than $500 an acre. 1t is doubtful IL
any crop ever grown in Maury county
exceeded that in value, acreage con-
sidered. Mr. Fleming did not find
the growing of the tobacco that diff
cult and almost insurmountable task
that some declare it to be. OF course
it requires a great deal Of labor but
the returns are more than commensu-
rate with the effort that is required.
The tobacco is all in the barn and
much of it is already cured.

There are no very important or unus-

BY the method Of keeping the court

true of the divorce cases, dozen or
more of them having been heard and
disposed of by Judge Whitthorne sit

Of keeping the term open for business
