(trom Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
The court of civil appeals this morn
ing affirmed the decision of Chancel
Tor Thomas b. Lyle in the case OF
the Sciota Sign Company against
Maury county and others.
Judge Lytle's decision was handed
down on November IL, 1920, after the
trial OF some most interesting Legal
points. The case was brought by the
sign company as the result of the re
fusal of County Court Clerk Lips
comb to pay, from the proceeds of his
office, for the tags used in the collec
ton of the wheel tax. Clerk LipscomL
held that he was not responsible for
the payment of the account which
amounted to $3.50, but that it should
have been paid by the county.
When the case was heard Judge
Lyle held that the county, rather
than Mr., Lipscomb was liable to the
sign company for the total amount
Of $3.50 and interest from the time the
account became due, therefore as the
result of the action of the court of
appeals the county will be forced to
payment of the account.

ENORMOUS CAIN
DAIRY PRODUCTS
OF. THIS STATE
QUANTITY HAS MULTIPLIED
FOUR TIMES DURING THE PAST
FOUR YEARS.
NO DECLINE IN THE VALUE
Except Poultry and Eggs Only Product
of the Farms of the State That Was
Not Worth Less This Year Than 1t
Was Lest Year

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
Tennessee's dairy industry has
grown by leaps and bounds during
the past four years. Since the APP
pointment of w. M. Magruder as state
dairy commissioner about three and a
half years ago the volume OF the dairy
products Of the state has been multi
Piled by four figures. This statement
was made at Tho Herald office this
morning by MIR. Magruder, who is here
looking over the tests Of the herds
that are being prepared for the regis
ter of merit.
In 1918 there were produced in Ten
nessee 2161 900 pounds of creamery
butter This had grown in 1919 to
},22O,00O pounds and in 1920 it amount
ed to 6,223,0O0 pounds Mr.. Magruder
estimated tn the total for this year
you'd rQal not less than 5000 600
pounds.
Dairy products of Tennessee, this
year, despite the decline in prices,
would equal the value of the states
output of dairy products last year,
said Mr.. Magruder. This is the only
farm product Of the state with the sin
gle exception of poultry and eggs,
whose value for 1921 will be as great
rs its value of 1890 The decline in the
price Of dairy products was not great
enough to Offset the increase in the
volume OF such products.
"Alloyer the state farmers tell me
that their dairy cows and hens and
turkeys have saved them this. year
from failure said AIR. Magruder,
and ! know that is true. Nothing has
been more gratifying to me than the
growth of the dairy industry during
my ipcumbency of the Office of com
missioner. Not only are our dairies
bringing in an immense amount of rev
enues but they mean better kept
farms
The state dairy commissioner paid
a high compliment to the two local
creameries. lie said that they were
among the best equipped and best OPP
Grated IN the state and were a great
asset TO the city and county.
Appointed early in 1918 Mr.. Magru-
der has proven the right man in the
right place. He has made wonder
fully fine record and is now, serving
under the third governor since his APP
pointment.

Columbia Lodge of Elks received a
message from Old Santa Claus this
morning that he would be at the Elks
Club rooms on Sunday afternoon, and
accordingly scores Of the unfortunate
children of the city are being invited
to be on hand at that time. Old Santa
has already had shipped to the Elks a
large Christmas tree, and just lots,
and lots of apples, oranges, candies and
other goodies, .as well as toys which
he will distribute Sunday.
1t has long been the custom of Elks,
throughout the United States, to dis
pense Christmas cheer among the
poor each year, and this year, as last,
several other organizations will cooper

Not an empty stocking in Colum-

There are perhaps more children in
Columbia to be remembered by these
organizations this year than in long
time. Many parents have been unable
to secure employment and are finan-
cialiy unable to provide this cheer.
The Kiwanis Club will have no
Christmas tree, but the names of many
children have been collected by the
who will play Santa Claus

NO DIRECT LOAN
TO INDIVIDUALS
BY GOVERNMENT
WAR FINANCE FUNDS HERE
MUST BE HANDLED THROUGH
THE BANKS. ~
ERRONEOUS IDEA PREVAIL;
Funds Can Be Secured Through the
Banks for Agricultural Purposes
and Paper Then Discounted With
the Finance Loan Agency. q

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
From publications in the daily news
papers il Is certain that misunder-
standing has arisen as to the value OF
the war finance. corporations loans to
the farmers of Tennessee and the
methods by which it is obtained. Many
farmers in this county are under the
impression that as result of the act
OF congress providing for the lending
by the war finance corporation of
funds for agriculture, that they have
an agency through which they can
readily borrow money at 51s per cent
interest.
This is far from the case No funds
will he loaned by the war finance cor
poration direct to any individual
farmer or otherwise. The law does
not permit such loans. They must be
made either to banks or to regularly
organized farmers cooperative socie.
ties. There are none of the latter in
Maury county therefore the war f.
nance money must come to the banks
in the county. The banks may borrow
these funds, under certain restrictions
and for purely agricultural purposes,
at five and one half per cent interest
and then the funds are in effect re.
loaned. However, member banks of
the federal reserve system can Dor
row now from the feneral reserve sys.
TEN. But there is one advantage in
the war finance money and that is that
banks not members of the federal re,
serve system are on an equality with
momber banks. AS there are more
than member banks in
Tennessee those feature will prove
helpful.
The banks of the country will avail
themselves of the opportunities Offer
ed for the purpose of securing such
additional funds as they need through
the war finance corporation. And UNI
the situation is going to
be improved, but the idea that has
gained currency to the effect that the
farmers can directly borrow from the
war finance corporation is wholly erro
neous, and in order to secure these
funds through the banks they will
have to show statements as to solven-
cy, etc, that would be required were
they borrowing directly from the
banks.

Low Value of the Crop Reduces Pro-

Two Thousand of Them.
'(From Mondays Daily eHrald.)

(From Mondays Daily eHrald)
Boys Corn Clubs were organized
in 81 Tennessee counties in 1921. The
total number of community corn clubs
was 1856 and the total enrolment of
boys was 2,154. This was an average
of So members to the county and al
most IL to each community club. 1t
was required that boys be enrolled
before a county or community club
was organized.
The task before each club member
was to follow the instructions of his
county agent in the growing of an
acre of corn. They were given in
struction regarding the type of soil
to use, methods of preparing, fertiliz-
ing, planting and cultivating. They
were also instructed as to the variety
of corn most suited to various types
of soil and localities.
A large percentage of the 2,154 boys
successfully grew their acres OF corn
and the county agent succeeded in
collecting 701 complete report book
lets showing details of the work and
the results obtained A compilation
of these reports furnishes interesting
food for thought to every person in
terested in the agricultural develop
ment of Tennessee.
The 701 boys who submitted com
plete reports grew 39,175 bushels of
corn or an average of Sc bushels per
acre. To grow this corn it cost SILL
6S4 or an average of 80 cents a bushel.
The average corn yield per acre of
all farmers as reported by the Govern
ment was 261a bushels While this
yield is slightly above the ten year
average, the corn club boys have pro
duced more than twice the average
for the entire state.
1t is interesting to know that it cost
the boys an average of $16.S0 to grow
each acre of corn, The average mar
ket price of corn in Tennessee on
November / was SO cents per bushel.
At this price the Sc bushels would
bring $33.04 leaving net profit of
1924 per acre. But the corn fed to
livestock is worth more than the price
it will bring on the market in the fall
of the year. Many Of these same boys
who are in the pig. club are finding
that corn fed to hogs is worth IS cents
bushel and that is the value placed
on their crop. At rs cents per bushel
the Sc bushels would be worth $4,000
leaving a net profit of $500 per acre.
This report has every indication
that the corn club boys of Tennessee
have done a splendid piece of work in
1921. The advice to every member is
to practice these same methods on
his entire farm when he begins to
operate one of his own 1t will re

THIRTY TURKEYS AT
HIGHEST AVERAGE
MRS. WESLEY HAYES SELLS
SMALL FLOCK FOR MORE
THAN 1882.

tFrom Wednesdays Daily Herald)
Mrs. Wesley Hayes, of Knob Creek,
made one of the greatest turkey rec
ords of the year. While she did not
sell the largest number of turkeys
she probably sold the highest average
lot of turkeys in the county. Thirty
turkeys raised by Mrs. Hayes sold at
an average of $7.15 each. She got
$232.50 for the lot. There were eight
magnificent birds in the lot probable
the eight most valuable birds market
ed this year i'll the county as they
brought no less than an average OF
$3.50. This is not up TO te price
that W. Ed Babb received for one
gobbler, but that was just one turkey
where as Mrs. Hayes had eight that
brought her nearly eighty simoleons.
Mrs. Hayes has found turkeys profit
able, in fact nothing on the farm has
Brought Jas much profit even where
the Investment has been several
times as much, as her crop of tur-
keys. -.
All of these reports of the money
received from turkeys add to the ar
gumeat that The Herald has been
making for an increased output of the
national birds next year. Some have
approved The Herald's advocacy of a
larger turkey crop but expressed the
fear that too many might put the
price down. 1t is hardly necessary
to state that even under the most
htardisuq one linI ep ..ayr
favorable conditions the turkey out
put of the county would be too small
to effect the price of that delicacy.

 Two indictments were returned against each man. One charges them jointly with Robert c. O'Bryan and D. c. Goerke, already arrested and under bond, with conspiracy to com init felony in the sale of stock in the company.
 The oill charges them specifically with conspirfng to persuade individ- uals to purchase stock in the con- pany with the understanding that the concern was solvent and earning div idends. It also charges that on Jan l, 1920, a 10 per cent dividend was paid which, it is declared must have been paid from the proceeds of sales of stock.
