Mrs. Sudie Garnett Married

Wednesday Mar. II at Los An
geles Gala; U. G. Knight of Ex-
ter, Gala. and Mrs. Sudie Gar
nett of this city were married.
Mrs. knight was spending the
winter in CALIFORNIA and the
wedding was not altogether un-
looked for, the happy man hav-
ing been corresponding with his
bride some time before her de-
parture for the west. Mr..
knight became acquainted with
Mrs. Garnett thru mutual
friend correspondence followed
and pleased still more with each
other when they met in cleaning
state.
Mr.. Knight was formerly a
newspaper editor a d publisher
but is now Horticultural Com.
missioner for TuIare county with
headquarters at Exeter where he
owns property. He was known
slightly in this county thru letters
in quest Of long green tobacco,
and undoubtedly he is worthy of
the splehded woman he parsuad-
ed 20 become his life partner.
After the wedding ceremony
the bridal couple went on an auto
tour Of the county and surround.
ing country for few weeks
when they will make their home

beque was given in honor of the
couple and Mr.. Knight, formerly

that it was better than "a Mis-
souri, yellow legged chicken BAN

to subscribe.

The man who buys this seed
and sows it is not the only one
who is getting into trouble, since
the weeds of course will spread

of nearly two miles, was now be.

Farm Bureau Notes.
By Sam Jordan.
He Got Stung.

The Bureau has urged with all
the energy it would seem that
should be needed to prevent far
mers from buying grass seed
mixtures from seed houses. We
presume that the reason they
continue to do so is because they
believe that we don't know what
we are talking about. Another
reason is perhaps that the combi-
nation looks cheap.
A few days ago we took the
liberty to take some samples
from some grass seed mixture
that was bought for seeding in
this county. We knew on exam
ination that the seed was bad
but not desiring to take any
chances of being wrong we sub
mitted the samples for a govern
ment test. 1t was found to con-
tain 1926 per cent commercial
seed, 1923 per cent inert or dead
matter, and 6.53 per cent weeds.
This means that almost II per
cent of the mixture was not what
the purchaser was presumlng to
buy. The analysis goes on to say
that the commercial seed was
mostly timothy with a small pro-
portion of alsike clover, white
clover, red clover, and red top.
The analysis states further that
there were 7S.300 weeds per
pound. The weed occurring with
the greatest frequency was Red
Sorrel. 1t was found to have
also black seeded plaintain,
lambs quarters, peppergrass,
bracted plantaln, buck horn. Gin
que foil, mayweed, amaranth,
woody panicum, lady's thumb
and others,
The man who sows this seed
especially on the poorer lands is
putting an actual calamity on his
farm. Buckhorn is very mild
pest as compared with red sorrel,
which we count as one of the
very worst and most dangerous
of the weeds that is being intro
duced into Missouri. 1t is usual.
ly bought from other states from

NEAR FLOOD
Grand River Badly OverflOwed
Wheat Crops Under
Creeks Rising

Recent rains came near over
flowing creeks and small rivers
to the considerable damage
point and tho Grand river is
said to be down from the high
mark a week ago, it is still high
and much precipitation would
send it out of banks again. AS
it was, the low lands were flood
ed and thousands of acres Of
wheat were under water for a
time. The rise at Stanberry
and Chillicothe was much more
perceptible than at Brunswick.
Along the river the fine crops
Of wheat were submerged for
several days but reports indicate
that very little if any damage
was done to any of the crops.
Sc long as the weather re.
mains cool it is claimed that
wheat will not suffer damage
from being under water for e
limited time.
The Charlton river is still or
the rise and the low lands along
that stream and its tributaries
are under water. Many crops ot
fine wheat are partially under
water but no fear for their safe
ty is felt so far.
Never in the history of tht
world has there been better pros
poets at this time of the year foI
a bumper crop of wheat and /
it continues to be as encouraging
till harvest, we will sure fee
prosperity, for a time at least.

Last Sunday morning Mr.. Lang
presented to a large and appre-
ciating audience the spiritual phase
of their forward movement soon To
be launched by the Evangelical
church. This movement is not
primarily a financial one. When
the church is right with God in
heart, spirit and life the finances
will largely take care of them
selves. We wish not only all Evan
gelicals but everybody to have a
correct idea about this. Therefore
by the Kindness OF our editors we
will give you partial synopsis of
the aims of the so-called forward
movement to be launched BY this
phasis will be laid.
Experimental religion and holt
ness
Prayer and secret prayer.
100000 souls for Christ in the
next five years.
500 young men for the gospel
ministry and 200 young women
for special Christian work.
900 laymen especially trained
for Christian work.
A family altar in every Evangeli-
cal home, approximately 10000
family affairs.
Cristian stewardship according
to Gods word: Nal. $40.
In the recent church services we
placed or approximated the Audi
bon Evangelical church at $500, 600
and an humble lay brother very
kindly corrected us and said that
their wealth was at least twice that
much il not more. Well, thank
you. and thank God for it. There
will be so much more to be used
for heavenly mission which when
properly tithed will help to lay up
treasures in heaven where moth
and rust will not corrupt nor will
thieves break through and steal.
