MISSOURI'S FINE PROSPECTS aod Board of Agri-| Mg | Secretary of the State \ culture is Not Alarmed. oe j w@ | Jefferson City, July 1—The dam-} ¥@ | age to Missouri crops by the recent | y@ |Tain is not great, according to the | rr secretary of the state board of Agri-| vg || ulture, George B. Ellis. He thinks the reports sent to the} newspapers from localities in this MB | state have exaggerated the damages. | ¥$ | He has not received reports since the | rain of the last few days, but only | last week he made a trip through the | western part of the state and found] ere mi the wheat standing up well in shocks. $4 This is the situation in most parts of | & the state and he is confident that ey r wheat in that condition could stand | ; rain for one week without being dam- & r aged materially. fi wae FRO M am i In some sections where the wheat & Y@ | Was tangled and down, it may have i vw |sufiered. His opinion is that the et vg | Principal damage is from overtlows ey ue where the wheat has been carried a { ug [2a or thoroughly soaked with & ] water, Sunshine will bring it out Fe well in a few days. | 8 Regarding the wheat crop, he says , t k be- Missouri has hergreatest wheat crop i l no rder to red uce our Stoc this year. His reports will show an } average for the state of about twen- + fore August Ist, when we take our ty bushels to the acre, whereas in 4 previous years sixteen bushels was considered a fine crop. Regarding corn, Mr, Ellis says it has not been damaged and his reports indicate that the condition will be one hun- dred or more when his report is made for the month of June. The rains have been suffitient for full develop- ment. Oats have suffered some be- cause of their rank growth and the rains have thrown and tangled them so that they cannot all be saved.

The Joplin Globe, of the 11th inst., says there is an unusual demand for babies in that city. The supply is so short that many prominent fami- | lies have shown a disposition to send out of town for children to the Chil- dreu’s Home of the state, at St. Louis, and other similar institutions, A strange feature of the pecuiar situ- ation is that nearly everybody want girl babies. The boys don’t go beg- ging, by any means, butif they can’t get what they want they almost in- variably take second best, but the desire for infants of the gentler Sex is nearly universal.

Congress will be forced, as things are now drifting, to adopt drastic measures. No tariff traditions will be allowed to stand in theway.
