OF California Dies.

Some of the older citizens of this
community will no doubt remember
w. ID. Blue. He left this communi-
ty short time before the Civil War.
He went TO the west coast and has
since made his home in California.
He was an odd fellow when he left
here and has since held that relation
ship. During tie last days that
come to him he was cared for at the
Odd Fellows home for the AGED. At
the time of his death Mr.. Blue was,
or would have been ninety three
years old at his next birthday. Mr.,
Blue never married during his entire
life, but lived alone on ranch. AS

cd him to 20 to the home that his
last days might be spent there where
he would receive good attention.
He passed to the great beyond on
the 22nd instant.

more valuable than any other that is

Seed Corn is Valuable

That Southeast Missouri farmers
would pay as much as So % an ear
for seed corn is causing consider
able comment in the public press.
1t Is easy to compute the value of
good seed. Varieties planted side
by side and given the same cultiva-
ton often show considerable varla-
ton in their yields. Take any re-
asonable increase and remembering
that that increase continues as long
as that variety is planted, one can
readily find the value of good seed
corn.
When we increase yields by better

of the cultivation each year, or II
