and the country people of that section
cooperate for the advancement of
the agricultural interests. He hopes
that through the county council of ag-

cooperation can be brought about in
this county. He was overwhelmed
with hospitality, for like any other
person who was fortunate enough to
eb entertained at GAINESVILLE he got
all the best that the splendid people

O0AK HOLDS GOOD
SALE OF DURos
ABOUT NINETY HEAD SELL UN.
DER HAMMER AT NASHVILLE
FOR GOOD AVERAGE PRICE.

The sale of the herd of Durocs of
4. l.. .Doak at Nashville held Wedne..
day was decided success. There
were about ninety head in the offer
lngs, OF sows, gifts, boars and pigs
and the average price was good, con-
sidering the condition of the hogs and
the financial conditions of the coun
try.
Several of the breeders from Maury
county were present at the sale. and
the feature of the sale that appealed
to local breeders more than anything
else was that practically all of this
stock OF hogs was bought by the farm,
ers of Davidson county, showing that
there is scarcity of good hogs in the
country.

NO ANNOUNCEMENT is MADE
But Senator Looney and Representa-

Not Care to Hear Any Further Argu-
ment on the Issue at This Time,
(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)

tfrOm lueSday Daily HefalQ.)
There were no definite develop
ments on the question OF annexation
as the result of the visit of the big
delegation of Maury countians to
Nashville on Monday night There
were probably fifty Columbians in
Nashville. They we're there both for
and against annexation. The leaders
of the fight on both sides swooped
down on the Maury county delegation
by automobile and also by train until
the rooms of Senator Looney and Rep
resentatiyes Jones and Russell were
literally overrun with folks from home.
There was no formal hearing held.
None had been arranged and Senator
Looney and Representative Jones stat
ed that they did not care to hear any
further argument, but had been con-
WINGED. However, neither made any
announcement of his views on the sub
ject Mr.. Russell was absent good
part of the time attending meeting of
a committee at another hotel.
No one seems to know when the is
sue will be decided. The only certain
information that they obtained was
that two of the three members of the
delegation had reached a conclusion
on the issue. Whether or not they
will definitely act this week and intro
duce the bills in the senate and house,
or positively decline to do so, or wait
until after the legislative recess to
take any action are questions that the
delegation alone can answer.
The fight has reached stage now
where both sides would be more than
gratifled if some positive announce
ment could be made and the people
definitely know what to expect.

GREAT INTEREST
HOG BREEERS OF COUNTY WILL
FURNISH PURE FLOODED
STOCK AT Low PRICES.
COUNTY AGENT M'LEAN BUYS
Will Visit Every Community in County
During Next Thirty Days, According
to Present Plans--Laree Enrolment
Expected.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald)
During the next thirty days, County
Agent Mclean Is planning to visit ev-
cry community schol in the county for
the purpose of arousing interest in
the Boys Pig Clubs. He believes the
pig clubs of the county will do better
work this year than ever before.
AS an incentive to the boys the lead
ing breeders of Duroc Jerseys, Poland
China and Hampshire hogs of the
county have agreed to sell young gifts
to the boys of the pig clubs at very
low prices
The county agent urges every father
of boys between the ages of ten and
eighteen years to buy one of the regis
tered sows for their son, in order that
the boy himself may determine just
what may be accomplished with one
SOW within year or eighteen months
time.
The object of the club work is to
test out the most economical feeding
of hogs, especial stress being placed
upon good pasturage.
The boys who desire to get in the
pig clubs, but who find themselves
without means to purchase the first
pig, are urged to get in touch with the
county agent, who will make arrange
ments accordingly. It.n
Leading authorities declare. there is
no better way to keep the boy on the
farm than to moke him feel that he is
accompl. shing something for himself,
that is making money and that farm
life Is the most pleasant freest
in the world One way for fathers to
accomplish this is to furnish the boy
money with which to purchase one Of
these pure blooded gifts at the low
prices made by the leading breeders
of the county. Mr.. Mclean will be
able to advise with any farmer upon
this subject when the clubs in the sew
erai communities are organized.

GREAT FRITZ LIEbER
HERE next WEDNESDAY
TWO PRODUCTIONS OF THE I'M.

The most meteoric rise to absolute
certain stardom is seen in the sen.
sational success of Fritz Leiber, the
magnificent Shakespearean who will
come in person to the New Grand on
Wednesday, February 2, to present
gorgeously mounted productions of
Hamlet and Merchant of Venice.
This brilliant new star complete
ly captured the plaudits of the New
York populace at large as well as the
most glowing praise from newspaper
and magazine critics. 1t is said up
and down Broadway in the great me-
tropolis, that no individual player dur
ing this century so abruptly, yet sure
ly achieved such consmate tri-
umph.
Theatrical producers who saw Mr..
Lieber's work in New York last month
said his individual performance Wed
with the entire productions of such
colossal success as "Aphrodite" or
Mecca" both of which stagger the
imagination.
Mr.. Leiber comes to the New Grand
direct from his triumphant New York
success. During his brief stay here
he will present Hamlet and Merchant
of Venice, considered to be his mas
terpieces. Hamlet will be presented
Wednesday night and Merchant of
Venice for the Matinee Wednesday
afternoon.

BELGIAN FARMS
ARE REDEEMED
FROM WAR LOSS
LARGE AREAS Inn FRANCE AND
FLANDERS HAVE ALREADY
BEEN REDEEMED.
But few FARMS ARE LEASED
Agriculture Has Revived With Re-
narkable Strides Since, the Close of
HostiIities and Prosperity Is Again
Evident.
BY r. H. sHEFFIELD.)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BRUSSELS, Jan. 27.-Slowly but
surely, the battle-worn farms of Elan
ders are coming into their own again
Government is Offering special favor
able terms for the leasing of land for
agricultural purposes, with view to
helping in this branch of national re
construction. Belgian farmers are all
"little" men; there is not really bic
allotmen in the kingdom. While it is
true that there are spots, round about
the User and elsewhere, that will not
be available for cultivation for years,
scattered up and down Flanders, are
numerous farmlets which couple OF
years ago, were little else that shell.
ploughed wastes and eeries of the car
rion crow
Quietly but effective, the Belgian
smallholder is coming back to his
farm; and the department of agricul-
tme is affording as much help as red
tape and bureaucracy will admit.
There were no leased farms in Bel
GUM before the war. Every small
holder owned his land outright. Under
the revived system of leasehold farms,
the government has instituted special
facilities to enable ruined farmers to
rent land. These impoverished people
could never, after their heavy losses,
hope to buy their allotment.
These small agriculturists, who have
to work terribly hard to get living
out of the ungratful soil, usually work
a few acres on their own account, or,
maybe, they are assisted by members
OF heir family, and perhaps, in the
busy season, by one or two, not more,
hired hands.
With determination to develop .ag-
riculture, the authorities subsidized a
of practical courses of train
ing in the various branches of farm
work. Local agricultural clubs and
farmers societies are chosen for car
rying out this task of technical educa-
tion. Certificated teachers in farming
are paid for giving public lectures and
demonstrations in agri and horticul-
ture. The government colleges at
Gembloux and other places are excel
lently organized. Apart from this col
lege training, there are also public
free lectures, to which even the hum
blest have eacy access, and which are
often held on Sunday or other "off"
days.
II agriculture has revived with re-
markable' strides, considering the de.
vastation wrought by the war, it is
largely due to the fact that govern.
ment has recognized that farming is
one of the national mainstays and, as
such, must be developed by all availa-
bic means. A second factor in the re.
Vival is the perseverance of the Elem
lsh peasant. He is success as a
because he is tenacious
and is not easily disheartened by eli
mate and soil.
