IMPLEMENTS REPAIR
WEEK MARCH 3-8
TIME DESIGNATED BY U. S. DE-
PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
FOR IMPORTANT WORK.

A national week for the repair of
farm implements has been designated
for March to by the National I'm.
plement and vehicle association. This
program has the endorsement of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. During that week farmers are
asked to order their necessary repair
parts so that when the rush season
comes on farm machinery may be in
good condition Trade conditions are
such that repair parts cannot be assur-
ed il they are ordered later.
In addition to this, it is suggested
that farmers make repairs as soon as
supplies are received for fear repair
parts are lost. 1t may be. too, that
some things have been overlooked. in
which case. time may be then availa-
BILE to receive what is needed.
Order and repair at once all farm
machinery is the request.

FIRST ANNUAL HOG
SALE Or MURPHY IS
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
THlRTY-TWo HEAD OF DuRoc
JERSEYS GO AT AN AVERAGE
OF $50 EACH.
QUALITY OF OFFERING PRAISED
In Spite of the Bad Behavior of the
Elements Large Crowd Attended
and the Bidding Was Quite Spirited.
Make II Annual Event.

Considering the fearfully inclement
weather and the fact that this was
his initial offering Miles Murphy is be-
ing heartily congratulated on the sue
cess of his registered Duroc Jersey
hog sale ON Tuesday. In spite of the
angry elements there was large
crowd of bidders and devotees of this
popular breed present and good prices
were realized.
The thirty-two head sold, including
both open and bred gifts, averaged $S2
each. The bred gifts averaged around
close to 500 each. The highest priced
hog went under the hammer at $135.
She was a beauty. The bidding was
spirited and Col. r. F. Moore perform
ed with his usual ability as the auc-
tioneer.
Mr. Murphy was most highly COM
plimented on his herd, several of the
best hog breeders of the county de-
claring that he put some of the finest
individuals they had seen in the show
ring. His hogs were in splendid shape
giving evidence of the best of care
and attention.
Mr.. Murphy was so highly gratified
over the success of his initial offer
ing that he announced today that he
expected to make this an annual event.
He has one of the best equipped stock
farms in the county and is admirably
located for breeding hogs.
Dinner was served to the crowd by
the women of the Ferndale community
and neat sum was made. This mon.
ey is to be used by the good women
for the praiseworthy purpose Of sup
porting French orphan.
A gratifying feature of the sale was
that with one exception all of the
hogs sold will remain in Maury coun.
ty. The gilt sold out of the county
goes to Giles.

Mdury Justices
To Get Increase
Attending Court

Under the provisions of bill pass
ed by the legislature on Feb. 10 JUS
tees of the peace hereafter will re-
ceive three dollars instead of $3.50
for attending the regular and called
sessions of the County Court of
Maury county. The bill was introduc-
ed by Senator Clarke and applied
only to this county.
In addition to the per diem of three
dollars per day members of the court
will receive the usual five cents per
mile for going to and from meeting.
This bill is simply a recognition Of
the increased cost of living. When
the per diem of justices of the peace
was fixed many years ago $3.50 was
equal to three dollars now. The act
takes effect from and after its pass
age so that justices in this county
will enjoy the increased remuneration
at the April session.

WIDE RANGE PRICES
IN LONG EXPERIENCE
M. e. ALLEN BEGINS THIRTY
EIGHT YEARS IN LIVE
STOCK TRADE. 4

Although having an experience OF
thirty.seven years buying live stock
in Maury county, M. e. Allen, one OF
the most widely known traders in
Tennessee, states that he never knew
conditions where it was more difficult
to approximate the future of the live
stock market. He therefore refuses
to be quoted as to whether or not
present prices will continue during
the year or whether there will be
an increase or decline.
1t is doubtful if there is a stock
trader in the state who has been
longer continuously in the business
than Mr.. Allen. He began in 1882
and this will mark his thirty-eighth
season. During that time he has
bought and sold cattle, hogs and
sheep by the hundreds of thousands.
He has seen the lowest prices and
likewise the highest prices in the
history of the live stock industry of
the nation. - " wser IN = Z
Mr.. Allen has bought beef cattle
from around two cents to above fiji
teen cents. He has handled good
ewes at couple of dollars and he
has paid as high as fifteen dollars
for them. The range of prices for
hogs has run from three cents to
twenty cents pound
During the past twelve months Mr..
Allen bought and shipped more than
a million dollars of live stock, his big
best year.

CLOVER and GRASS
SEED DEMAND HEAVY
INDICATE LARGELY
INCREASED ACREAGE ON
MAURY FARMS.

Despite the unusually high price of
the seed, probably higher than ever
before. there is a big demand for clio.
yer and grass seed from the farmers
of Maury county. This is due to the
fact that during the war emergency
when farmers were urged to sacrifice
crop rotation and soil building for
food for the immediate needs of the
allied world, there was much less than
the ordinary acreage of grasses and
clovers sown in the county.
Now that the emergency is over the
farmers are going back to a safer and
saner method Of agriculture and this
is reflected in the increased demand
for clover and grass seed. While the
seeds are high they are no higher,
probably not as high, proportionate-
ly as the other products of the farm.
There is more demand for vahiety
of clover seeds this year than has
ever been the case before. Farmers
are not only sowing the red clover and
alsyke, but they are also trying sap.
ping and sweet clover, considerable
demand existing for seed of the latter
varieties.

Frank Bryant Is

Frank Bryant has been appointed

Culleoka postoffice. Mr. Bryant has
been carrying the mail on this route
since July l last when Jonas E. Thorn.
as resigned to accept the appointment
as deputy United States marshal for
Middle Tennessee. He has made one
of the most efficient carriers that the
Culleoka office has ever known and
there is general rejoicing over his
having successfully passed the exam
ination and obtained the appointment.
Mr.. Bryant has substituted time and
again for the past eight years and it
is said that no complaint has ever
been registered against him by a pa.
iron of the Office.
Several years ago he was elected
over his protest, as constable of the
Fifth district, getting all the votes
cast for the Office. He declined, how.
ever, to serve.

S11,S15,0O0, and the total wealth pro-
ducfng commodities from the county,
including these products, phosphate
and timber, was $13, 4G5 600.

tvs marvellous prosperity that this

The Herald is issued Read it. Fa-
milarize yourself with the facts con
tanned in the numerous articles Talk

But there is no occasion to become
excited over the figures, because they
are not extreme. Year after year since
the Civil War Maury county has been
pressing forward and the totals in the
years gone by have been proportions
ately as large. The high prices for
farm products last year made the fig
ures little larger, but in comparison
with other section sof the country,
they were no larger last year than
they were in other years.

CAPACITY
OF ICE CREAM AND
BUTTER FACTORIES
J, 3. LOWELL WILL INSTALL 20,000
PLANT DURING THE
SPRING.
IMMENSE CAPACITY PER DAY
Will Be Able to Turn Out 500 Gallons
Of Ice Cream, One Thousand Pounds
of Butter and Also Pasturize the
Milf.

TO meet the increasing demands for
his products J. B. Lowell will soon be-
gin the construction of a $4,000 ice
cream, butter and milk plant that
will have a capacity equal to the en-
tire commercial milk supply of the
county.
Mr. Lowell finds that the capacity Of
his present plant is nothing like equal
to the demands. He proposes to in
stall plant with capacity of 500
gallons of ice cream daily instead Of
his present capacity of 800 gallons
daily. In addition this plant can make
1000 pounds of the finest creamery
butter daily and take care of all the
milk that will be offered for sale.
In the plant there will be installed
the latest devices for pasturizing milk.
Every feature of the plant will be
modern and absolutely sanitary. No
expense will be spared to guarantee
to every customer the most whole
some product that it is possible to
turn out, in ice cream, pasturized milk
and butter.
Mr.. Lowell does not anticipate the
slightest trouble in disposing of all the
products that he can prepare. The
demand is increasing all the time.
During nine months of the. past year
he shipped from the factory 10000
gallons of ice cream.
