Maury County Jersey Milk Breaks Merit Record
A Jersey cow named Ida Fern Beauty of Squire Orchard, owned by Hugh Lee Webster, yields sixty six and a half pounds of butter in April and tests 6.7 of butterfat. The cow scored about 97 points of 100 in a county agricultural test, with her three day old calf selling for $50. Orchardists forecast an unprecedented apple crop in Maury County as hail damage was light and forecasts predict a bumper year matching 1915. Shipping of Early Harvest apples will begin around June 26 as growers prepare markets.
