Kipp, Farmer's Bank, IN NORTHWEST MISSOURI. | The Heat and Drought Has Almost En- tirely Killed the Corn Crop. | St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 4.—For the first time in 20 years the corn crop | of Northwest Missouri will be a fail- ure. The prolonged drought and |tne hot winds of last week have | ruined what promised to be the fin- | est crop ever raised in the northern counties. In all the counties visited | —Buchanan, Andrew, Holt, Atchison, Platte, Nodaway and abhalf dozen others—the same conditions were found to exist; immense fields of corn in the milk dried up until it is | not even fit for fodder. So dry are the stalks and leaves that they crum- | ble to the touch. Iu a few instances there were fields in the bottom lands | that are in fair condition, but they, | too, must have rain very soon. | There is very little old corn in | this section; that little is going to ibe held until next spring, when |farmere confidently expect that its price will go up to a $1 a bushel. Hay is as soarce as corn. Pastures are dried up and farmers who have no feed left over from last year are a | Selling horses and cattle for just what they can get. | A good wheat crop was raised in {the northern counties, but not a bushel of it is for sale.
