loses another of its old citizens.

for more than ten years, and for

reared a large family, he being
of one of the oldest and most re-
spected families of the county.
Twenty years ago, he was a fam

county. and his big-hearted, open
souled manner won for him many
friends, who with his relatives
will mourn his death. ]. A.
Houston conducted the funeral
services at the old family bury
ing ground.

to find them. We earnestly urge
the farmers to see that seed,
feed and fertilizer is stamped or
tagged as the law directs and
when it is not, to advise us
promptly. The law is not to col
lect revenue but for your pro-
lection.
When the farmer uses red Glow
er seed so low as 56 per cent he
can only expect as much feeding
value in his hay from two acres
as he would get from one acre
with pure seed and the weeds in
the hay from adulterated seed re-
duceS the selling price of his hay
and he is polluting his ground
with noxious weeds to intefere
with future crops. He could bet
ter afford to have fewer acres
seeded with good seed because he
would get the same feeding val
ue and save the work of prepar-
ing the extra acreage and harvest
ing same. There can be no &C.
onomy or excuse for using poor
or adulterated seed.
