MISSOURI A GOOD PECAN STATE
May Rank First i'm This Product. Ac-
cording TO Board Of Agriculture.

Missouri may some day rank fore
most in yet another product. accord
ing to Jewell Mayes. secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture. This prod
net is the pecan, a little appreciated
nut in the Missouri valley, though in
some parts of the state it is the means
of a flourishing business.
Many thousands of pecan trees
have been chopped down in the Mis-
souri, River valley" says Mr.. Mayes.
THE pecan is not considered nearly
so worth while as the hickory.
But the Missouri pecan has come
into its own, and now the State Board
of Agriculture is being asked for the
names of farmers who own large num-
bers of pecan trees. They are look
ing to the 1916 crop.
THE wholesale dealers in pecans
now look with favor on the Missouri
grown product and are interested in
studying the methods of growth and
culture. Many Missourians do not
know that the pecan is a native of the
Missouri valley"

MRS MCCAIN AWARDED 500
jury Finds She Is Entitled to Part Of
$795 She Sued For.

Mrs. f. McCann received a verdict
for 5000 yesterday in her suit in Cir
cult Court against the estate of the
late DR.. John G. French for services
as a nurse to Doctor French.
Mrs. Mccain, who was Doctor
French's motherin-law, sued for $500,
but this was lowered to s725 under the
statute of limitations, $75 of the al
legged debt being over five years old.
The jury, after celebrating for about
two hours, held that Mrs. McCann had
proved services for only eight weeks
and awarded her judgment at the rate
of $25 a week, the usual pay of a
graduate trained nurse.
The case had been appealed from
the Probate Court, where the decision
was against Mrs. McCann.

A, ", DOUGLAS TELLS
OF FARMERS WEEK
Vice-President of Simmons
Company Writes for
Hardware Age.
BACK TO THE FARM?
Saws NJ. u. Is Greatest Fac
tor in Development of
This Movement.

Farmers Week at the University OF
Missouri is still subject for COM
ment. and means Of advertisement
for the University. This time it is not
a neighboring school of agriculture
that is considering the adoption of a
similar plan, but a trade magazine
representing the hardware interests
of the country that treats of Missouris
Farmers Week.
In the issue of April l3 of Hardware
Age. one of the three special articles
is Farmers Week at the University
of Missouri" by \. W. Douglas. Mr..
Douglas is vice-preSident of the Sim
mons Hardware Company of st. Louis
and frequently visits Columbia.
The article, which covers several
pages, and is illustrated with pano-
ramic views of the East and West
CampuseS. takes the stand that the
back to the farm" movement is a
vital one in the state. In the open
ing paragraph, Mr.. Douglas says:
In the South and West, with some
notable exceptions, the thing of pith
and moment is the development of as-
riculture as the fundamental business
of the country, and the readjustment
and coordination or rural and urban
life
"The State University is the great
est factor of the many that essay to
grapple with the problem. II can
reach directly at its home in Column
bia. only the young who come as stu
dents. So in addition to its university
extension courteses which touch every
part of Missouri, ii instituted some
years ago an annual Farmers Week
at Columbia, and thither there went
recently some 1000 farmers and their
families, and a special trainload of
ST. Louis business men. to give defin-
ite assurance of their interest in this
absorbing problem"
