Delegates who for the past three
days have been here to attend the
sessions Of the Middle Tennessee
Farmers Convention left last night
for their homes in the several coun-
ties of this grand division They were
loud in their praise of the splendid
hospitality extended them in Column
bia.
During the three days of the conven-
ton the city has been filled to over
lowing with visitors, nearly every
county of Middle Tennessee being rep
resented by several delegates. One
county sent siXty-five delegaes for
more than one hundred miles. Hotels
and boarding houses have been pack
ca and damned, and private homes
were thrown open to visiting farmers.
I, l.. Cunningham, chairman of the
accommodations committee, said this
morning: During the three days we
cared for in private homes two hun
dred farmers, and had rooms enough
to care or as many more, but it seems
that the greatest number of visitors
in the city came in automobiles for
some certain part of the program, and
when this was completed, returned
without spending the might've had
al the rooms we needed and then
some Mr.. Cunningham said the la
dies of Columbia are certainly deserv-
ing of credit for the splendid manner
in which they cooperated In supply
ing accommodation for visitors.
Visitors who were supplied with
rooms by Mr. Cunningham were very
complimentary of the splendid and eff
fcient service rendered by him, and
stores of the mbefore they left city
took occasion to thank him for this
service, and to tell him they had new
or received more cousiderate atten-
ton anywhere.
Columbia lived up to its reputation
for hospitality, and in meeting any
emergency. 2 4 q i

TERPRiSE AND COOPERATION
SALE OF BOMBS is PROBLEM
That Is the Most Difficult Matter in
Connection With the Building Pro

the County Board.

Everything is in readiness for the
new school house at McCrory's in the
fourth district From present indica
tons this and not Rally Hill will be
the first to be erected in the county
under the appropriation made for new
buildings by the county court, The
McCrory's school will cost about So.
20 to $500. The county has appropri
ated $4,000 and the citizens have made
up the balance.
Already the timber and other mate.
I ais are being placed on the grounds
in preparation for the beginning of
work. The people of that section
have shown commendable enterprise
and generosity 1t is hoped that when
the school is finished the children at
Sharps and the Maury county children
at Hardisons Mills will join the Nc
CrCry's Corner people aid make it a
strong and aggressive school.
The difficult feature of the school
building program is the condition of
the money market. The / 0nds are go.
Ing to sell at a big discount apd this
scouEt must be taken care of by the
communities, already burdened with
their gifts to the schools. 1t is hoped
by Superintendent Graham to sell the
bonds 10 the communities. having them
payable at short intervals so that they
can he taken UP as the sinking fund
becomes available In this way the
burden on the communities will be
very considerably lightened. Nothing
like the entire issued will be made this
year and possibly A good : proportion
of them under this plan could he TAX
or up and retired out Of the sinkiny
fund next year and thus tighten the
brrdan on the communities putting up
the money.

SUGAR HERE NOW IN
GREATEST PLENTY
PRICES NEARLY OME-THiRD LESS
THAN THE HIGHEST POINT
OF THE SPRING. &

That acute shortage of sugar that
was freely predicted a few weeks ago
and which so alarmed the house
wives of the country, has failed to ma
terialize. There is an abundance of
sugar to be had now and the prices
are very much lower than they have
been. One can buy hundred pounds
for $21.50 whereas a few weeks ago
this same sugar would have cost
$3.50. He can buy it in any quantity
and as often as he has the money to
pay for it.
Sugar did sell as high here in small
packages as thirty cents pound and
sales for time were limited, but now
enc goes into grocery store and like
the cannon at Balakalava there is
sugar to the right, sugar to the left
and sugar everywhere"
Another item on which the house
wife is enabled to save IS Irish pota-
toes. They have slumped considera-
lily from their lofty perch of the early
spring and winter. Flour is likewise
bit cheaper However, as soon as
the largely increased freight rates go
into effect it is expected that some of
these commodities will be advanced.
PROFESSIONALLY the advance in freight
will have an effect on -four prices.

F FARMERS READY sow
CRIMSON CLOVER
LAND ALREADY PREPARED,
NEEDS ONLY BE NARROWED
FOLLOWING RECENT RAINS.

(From Fridays Daily Herald)
Because of the splendid results Mau.
~ county farmers have secured with
crimson clover during the past few
years, and the slump in seed prices,
it is believed that a bumper crop VII
lie sown in this county during the
present month.
County Agricultural Agent Mclean
stated this morning, farmers in near
ly every section are only waiting for
seasonablc weather for sowing. Al
that is to be done when it becomes dry
enough, if the land was prepared be
fore recent rains, will be to harrow.
The best results can be obtained by
sowing twelve pounds of crimson clio
yer seed to the acre. or a pushed to
each five acres. If it is to he sown
with rye the same amount of clover
should be sown. and in addition a
bushel of rye to the acre. Crimson
cover seed is now selling for $3.50 per
hushel. which means AL seed. Mr..
Mclean said it was not advisable to
SOW crimson clover in corn at this
time, because of the fact that corn is
still sapping the ground.

PLAN CAMPAIGN. :.
FOR MEMBERS OF
COUNTY COUNCIL
PRESIDENT PORTER ANXIOUS TO
DOUBLE THE MEMBERSHIP IN
MAURY SOON.
BIG GET TOGETHER MEETING
Probable that During the Fall There
viii Be Basket Dinner Picnic and
Qualification of the Members at Mid
die Tennessee Station.

Now that the farmers Institute is
0, er, the farmers OF the county have
had presented to them by those prom
inent in the movement the benefits of
the proposed council of agriculture, a
campaign is planned by President
Joe Frank Porter to increase the
embership of that organization in the
county Every Effort will be made to
enroll the wide awake, progressive
farmers of the county in the various
communities and also to enlist the
support Of the business men.
The council in this county has less
than 200 members while in several
counties Of Middle Tennessee, notably
in Lawrence and Montgomery there
are over 400 members. in order to
function as it should the county couR-
c.l should have not loss than 400 mem
berS in this county. President Port
er's idea is to double. the membership
through the active cooperation of
every member. If every member OF
the council would make It his task to
set at least one additional member
the organization would soon have a
membership that would make it a
power in the county
Unless there is much longer mem
Lership the council canot do the work
that is before it without an increase
ir the membership dues and this is
not advisable.
AS one way to arouse an interest
among the members and to stimulate
their enthusiasm it is planned to have
a great basket picnoc and get together
meeting during the fall at the Mid
die Tennessee Experiment Station.
This plan has been successfully tried
in. the other counties of this section.

COUNTY LOSES
HEAVILY SINCE
CENSUS OF 10
POPULATION JUST ANNOUNCED
Is 5000 LESS THAN 1T WAS
TEN YEARS AGO.
BIG DROP IN The COUNTRY
Fifth and Sixth Districts Are Each
Understood to Have Declined
Around 1000 in Population During
the Past Decade.

During the past decade Maury coun-
ty lost 5,053 in population. according
to an official bulletin just issued by
the census bureatis -6sMh3 sutsed
States, The population of the coun-
ty in 1920 was 1914 as compared
with 40,456, or the census of 1910, a
loss Of over 5000. The population OF
the county in 1900 was 42,703 In
twenty years the county has lost Z
900 people, or approximately one
fourth of it's population.
1t is understood that during the
past decade there was practically no
loss of population in the seventh and
ninth districts, but that in the fifth
and sixth districts the loss was ex-
ceedingly heavy, amounting to
around 1000 for each of these dis
hicts. The loss of negro population
III the country districts, has been
pToportiOnately much heavier than
the loss Of white population,
In 1910 the 10000 people OF the
county We're divided about as fol-
lows: White, $4,000; colored, 10000,
or GO per cent white and 40 per cent
colorod. The present census will
show a higher percentage of white
population than ever before and par
ticularly is this true i'm the sixth and
fifth districts.
