JUNE VERY DRY
AND MERCURY. HIGH
BUT NOTHING LIKE SUCH A
MONTH AS ITS NAMESAKE
BACK IN 1914.

Temperatures for June were two
and seven.tenths degrees above nor.
NAL and the rainfall was more than
an inch below normal according to the
observations taken by Mrs. Fleming
at Ashwood. Hot as. the past month
was it does not compare with June OF
1914 which broke all previous records,
That month had mean temperature
of over eighty-one degrees and the
mercury one day went to 103 degrees,
and on no less than tWenty-fOur days
it was above ninety, In 1913 it went
to 1872 degrees and the temperature
was obave ninety on sixteen days
Last June was pleasant month with
plenty of rain and only one day did
the mercury climb to "a and that
marked the hottest day of the entire
summer.
The maximum temperature for the
past month was "a degrees on June
30. The rainfall at Ashwood was three
inches, ut'the average for the county
was far below this. On ten days rain
fell. On thirteen days the mercury
scared to above ninety.

WHEAT CROP OF
COUNTY VALUED
ABOUT 100000
coNSERvATlvELY ESTIMATED
THAT THE HARVEST WILL BE
100000 BUSHELS.
YIELD BETTER THAN EXPECTED
Many Farmers Had to Get More Sacks
Than They Had at First Estimated
TO Be Necessary-Price So Far Sat
isfactory.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald.)
1t is estimated by Those in Position
to know that the wheat crop of Maury
county this year will be not less than
100000 bushels and it may go even
higher than that figure. Even at that
admittedly conservative figure, this
crop would be worth around quarter
of million dollars as practically all
of ii is grading No. and the bulk is
being marketed as rapidly as it is be-
ing threshed. Some few crops sold
very early brought as high as $1.35
a bushel and a few farmers got around
$3.50, but the bulk of the crop will go
at one and quarter.
Large numbers of the big farmers
OF the county had good acreage of
wheat. The great falling off in the
acreage was due to the fact that COM
paratively few farmers who have a
small acreage in their farms, those
who farm around $50 to 200 acres SOW
ed any wheat last fall. But the gener-
al rule appears to have been with the
big farmers to sow literally and they
are reaping good harvest.
That the yield, has exceeded the ex-
pectations of farmers is attested by
the fact that buyers who furnish the
sacks report that instead of getting
more sacks than they needed, the
usual rule, q large number have had
to return and get additional allot-
ments of sacks. Some phenomenal
yields have been reported and many
that averaged eighteen to twenty
bushels. With good yields to the acre
and a price of dollar and quarter
the farmers who. have grown wheat
have expressed themselves as better
satisfied with their returns than that
received for any other crop during the
past year This crop is expected to
improve business generally in the
county as the money is circulated
among those who do not grow wheat
as we'll as those who do grow it,

DEATH COMES TO
ONE OF LEADING
FARMERS COUNTY
PATTON WHITAKER, THE WELL
KNOWN JERSEY MAN, DIED
VERY SUDDENLY.
SICK ONLY 4 BRIEF PERIOD
Was One Of the Pioneers Anons the
Most Progressive and up.to. Date
Live Stock Men--owned Many Fa-
nous Cows.
From Mondays Daily Herald.)

(From Mondays Daily Herald.)
Patton Whitaker, one of the best
known citizens and most prominent
live stock men of Maury county. died
suddenly Saturday night at his home
on the Mt. Pleasant pike after a brief
illness. His death was great shock
to his hosts of friends as he was most
widely known and highly esteemed.
He was born In this county and had
lived here all of his life.
For many years Mr.. Whitaker has
been identified with the Jersey inter.
ests OF the state. His herd at his Ly-
tie Creek farm few years ago was
one OF the finest In the South and only
recently the first gold medal Jersey
COW In the state came from his herd.
He had prize winners and register OF
merit cows by the score. His dairy
was regarded as one of the best equip.
ped and finest in this section of the
country. Later on Mr. Whitaker dis.
posed of this place and went to Spring
Hill where he engaged In the raising
Of beef cattle, but few years ago,
with advancing age he decided to re-
tire to small farm near the city and
built home on the Mt. Pleasant pike.
In his earlier life Mr. Whitaker had
been identified with the big mule in.
dustry of the county. He was, too,
one of the pioneer maniac
turers of ice cream, his product be-
ing made at his farm and from his
own cream. 1t fas sold far and wide
and the demand often exceeded the
supply. Several years ago when the
Tennessee State Press Association
met here, the members were entertain
ed by Mr.. Whitaker at his Lyle Creek
farm and served bounteously with his
own ice cream, fact that gave his
products additional advertising.
No more progressive farmer ever
lived in the county than Mr.. Whita-
ker. He was one of the first to adopt
improved methods. His dairy barn
was perhaps the initial one with every
modern device, including electric fans
and screens. He erected one of the
first concrete silos ever built in the
county
Mr.. Whitaker was not only pro-
gressiye farmer, but splendid man.
He was member of the Methodist
church. He is survived by three sons,
Cloyd and Melville, of this county, and
Euegene Whitaker, Of Cleveland, o.,
and also by two bothers, Dave and
Robert of this county.
The funeral was conducted at 2:30
O'Clock this afternoon at the residence
by DR.. w, B. Taylor, pastor of the
First Methodist church. Interment
was in Rose Hill cemetery.
