the effect of the law on the tenure
of office of some officials. In the
meantime it is realized that there
should be an organization ready to
meet any emergencies on the roads or
bridges and further more ready to
begin to operate as soon as funds are
available.
TO thresh out these questions and
to have thee ounty court agree upon
a policy for the execute of the law,
the special session may be held. The
court does not meet until the second
Monday of April or two months in
the, future and in the meantime the
financial affairs of the county arc not
improving due to the tendency on the
part of large taxpayers to take adj
vantage of the extension of the time
limit
Judge Whitthorne did not discuss
the question of calling the court to-
gether this morning, but it is known
that he is giving the new law the
most painstaking consideration and
& familiarizing himself with it's every
provision in order that he may be
fully prepared to intelligently dis
charge his duties under that act.

LIVE STOCK OF
COUNTY VALUED
THREE MILLIONS
INCLUDES HORSES, MULES MILK
COWS, CATTLE, HOGS AND
SHEEP ON THE FARMS.
VALUE OF LAST YEARS CROPS
Were Worth, Excluding the Fruit and
Pastures, over s4,ooo,ooo, Accord.
ing to the Estimate Of the Depart.
ment OF Agriculture.

From Mondays Daily Herald.)
There are $3.000,00O worth of hors
es, mules cattle, milk cows, swine
and sheep in Maury county, according
to the census taken by G. l.. Morris.
agricultural statistician of the United
States department of agriculture for
this state.
This estimate was made as OF Janu-
| uary of this year at which time there
were on the farms Of the county 1870
horses: 5000 mules; $3.50 cows; H..
l4O beef cattle; 1850 sheep: ALSO
hogs, all having an estimated value OF
$2,956,12S. A striking feature OF the
live stock of the state is that the ad.
joining county of Marshall. with only
about half of the population OF Maury,
has substantially the same number OF
milk COWS, the dairy interests OF that
county having Geen developed much
more rapidly than in this. \.
! During 1920 it is estimated that the
principal crops grown in Maury coun.
/ ty had value of S4,240,0OO. This es-
timato excludes the value of fruits
garden vegetables and pastures.
According to the same authority
Maury county farmers last fall sowed
only 1G,401 acres Of wheat out OF a
total for the state of 100000 acres
However, this acreage in Middle Ten
nessee is exceeded only by that of the
adjoining county Of Williamson where
over $4,000 acres were sown. The
largest acreage in the state is sown In
the counties of East Tennessee, that
section in recent years having sur.
passed the middle division In the pro.
duction of wheat.
In Marshall county 1000 acres were
reported while in Giles county but
2.1O0 acres are listed in wheat. Giles
county has only half as many sheep as
Maury county while Lawrence has less
than 1000 sheep. The last named
county. 1t Is said, has 1000 dogs. or
two dogs for every head of sheep in
the county.

when this coal property was mentioned
to him. He believed he understood
why his father had fatty refused to

wholly at loss to account for the

he spoke as though he were talking
to David Moreland himself:
