MAKING PROGRAM
Of FARM MEETING
EVERY PHASE OF FARMING TO BE
DISCUSSED AT MEETING MID.
DIE TENNESSEE FOLKS.

From Fridays Daily Herald)
Prof. James NJ. Dean. district agent,
is assisting in the preparation of the
program for the Middle Tennessee
Farmers Convention which will be
held here ON August 10, IL and T. It
is expected that the program this
year will contain speakers on every
present day problem of the farmers
and will be so balanced that there
viii be food for thought for farmers of
every class. However, live stock
farmers. particularly in view of the
crisis Through which farmers of that
class have been and are passing, will
bee as last year, one of the distinct
features of the program. Some out
standing speakers and farm experts
are expected to be here and the pro
gram will be announced from Knox
vile at an early date. Col Harry
Berry, president, DR.. c. A. Keffer, di-
rector of the division of extension and
the members of the executive COM
mittee, are comforting on the pro-
gram.

REBUtDS DAM
At THOMAS Mill
COL. J. n kANNON, New OWNER,
F.. is PROVIDING FOR coNsERvA.
TON OF WATER.

tFrom Saturdays Daily Herald.)
Col. James H. Ramon is reinforc-
ing and strengthening the big dam
across Fountain creek at he old Thorn
as mill near Glendale which he now
owns. The wood on the dam is being
taken out and the rocks covered with
a heavy coating Of concrete. The
height OF the dam is not being raised
but by reason of the fact that the dam
will be waterproof from now ON a
much larger supply Of water can he
saved, and therefore the power need
ed to operate the mill will be censerv-
ed.
Other improvements are being made
at he mill. A new water box or con-
tainer- for the wheel or forebay that
operates the mill is. being constructed
COL Kannon will also install a new
water wheel at once. He has been
grinding a very fine quality of meal
Dor some time, but Just as soon as
these repairs are completed he will
begin the making of -four.
The Thomas mill is one OF the his
toric old water mills of the county.
Long before the war between the
states, and when means of communi-
cation were much more difficult than
they are now this mill served the
needs of all the Southern portion of
Maury county and people came from
Marshall and Giles counties to get
their turns" of corn and wheat. 1t
was purchased by Col. Kannon last
fall The machinery was oyerhauled
and improved shortly before the pur-
chase was made
More than score of hands are at
work on the improvements to the
dam and it is expected that they will
be completed at onceF SO.

HUMBLE FOWLS

MONEY MAKERS
DESPITE DECLINE IN PRICES STILL
BIGGEST ASSET OF. MAuRY
COUNTY FARMERS.t
EGG SHIPMENTS ARE ENORMOUS
Unusually Open and Mild Winter
Made the Egg Production Larger
Than It Was Last Year-Crop Has
Big Money Value.
From Fridays Daily Herald.)

Although the price of eggs and
poultry have been very much below
those paid last year, the volume OF
business, the amount OF eggs and poul-
try shipped out Of the county
very much larger. 1t is probable, II
accurate statements could be obtain
ed that the egg shipments from the
county this year have in volume, al
though not in value, exceeded any
previous total in the history of the
county. a..,
There have been months this year
when the value of the eggs and poul-
try that have have one of the county
have run, around 100000 day, ac'
cording to reliable estimates made by
bankers and others in position to
know. In the lowest month these
shipments will run over $4,000 a day
even at the lower prices that have
obtained this year.
Taking. it by and large the farmers
of the county have no greater asset
than the humble barn yard fowls. I'm
questionably these fowls this year will
be the largest single asset that the
farmers will have and the money val
lie of their output will exceed that of
any other product of the farm.
In comparison with the prices re-
ceived for other products OF the farm
eggs and poultry have not suffered
such a heavy decline in value and
prices for both have held up above
the pre-war average. This has not
been the case with the other products
which the farmers have marketed this
year.
One of the causes for the enor-
nous output of eggs this year was
the mild and open winter. The hens
began to lay earlier and there has
been little decline in the receipts.

Soon. VIVA
From Fridays Daily Herald.)

FROM FRIDAY Daliy heTdiu.)
Maury county is to have public

house.

Addison, Red Cross public health
nurse for Maury county, workmen will
begin within the next few days to
make ready the room in the basement
of the court house adjacent to the
county council of agriculture head
quarters for this health work.
Miss Addison. who conceived the
plan for the health center, was most
enthusiastic over the prospect for a
model health center The room will be
thoroughly cleaned and whitewashed
and cabinets will be installed to con-
tain the supplies 1t is also planned
to have both a medical and dental
clinic established there, where school
children of the county may be ex-
amined.
In order to make. the health center
a success, it will be necessary, Miss
Addison said, for her to have the
hearty cooperation of both the ply
clans and dentists of the city, and
this, she believes, will be given her.
The ladies of the city are also CO.
operating with Miss Addison, some Of
them have already contributed toward
the fitting up Of the rooms.
Miss AddisOn's plan also calls for a
rest room for the ladies of the city
and county, and this will be most
popular it. is believed, as it will af-
ford the tired shoppers some place to
go for moments rest during the stay
in town.
Judge Whitthorne, when informed
of Miss Addison's plans readily
agreed to cooperate with her, and
gave permission for her to use the
room as outlined.
