Columbia, Mo., December, 1910. —That the year 1910 has been one of| progress, prosperity and plenty for] +: ted value of last year’s crop, ing $1.07 one year ago. This year’s javerage wheat yield per acre is just) one-half bushel below the 10-year’ average, the decided decrease in total | number of bushels resulting largely from the shortage in acreage harvest- ed, only 86.6 per cent, or 1,666,810 acres of the 1,923,887 acres seeded in | the falll of 1909 having been harvested. | Much wheat was winter killed or came through in such poor condition , that it was not thought advisable to| let it stand. The greatest loss in this respect was in the Central section of! the state. The wheat yield by sec- tions was Northeast, 12; Northwest, 16; Central, 10; Southwest, 14; South- Missouri farmers is shown by the De- cember crop report on corn, wheat and oats. This report issued today from the office of T. C. Wilson, sec retary of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture, shows that the state’s corn yield amounts to 500,000 car- loads of 500 bushels each, or 20,000 twenty-five loaded cars. These trains, if placed on a single track so that each engine would touch the caboose in front of it, would extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans and in addition fill a side track as long as from St. Louis to Kansas City. It is also a matter of pride for Mis- sourians to know that this year’s corn yield in only one-half the counties in the state equals the total corn crop of one-half the total number of states and territories in the Union. One Missouri county alone produced more corn this year than did eleven states and territories combined. The complete report is as follows: CORN—Missouri's total yield of corn for the present year is placed at 252,472,100 bushels, the average yield for the entire state being 32.4 bushels per acre, or five bushels—or to put it in Missouri measure, one barrel— more than last year. This year’s yield is also considerably above the 10-year average of 28.8 bushels per acre. Missouri has had a few some- what more favorable seasons for corn growing, the spring being cold and wet, making it necessary to plant much corn a second time, but what was lacking in favorable conditions was more than made up by careful 1847 Roger Bros.’ f ) match, set $2.25 TOrkKs t 1847 Roger Bros.’ spoons, per set $10.48 25-year gold filled cas 1 Elgin or Walthan. move SOLID SILVERWARE 1847 Roger Bros.’ teaspoons, p _ $1.75 to $2.50 Gentlemen’s Watches 15-jewel Waltham in dust proof case........ $7.49 17-jewel Elgin or Waltham movements in dust a Solid stews knis ol- $9 50 proof cases, for........9¥# iow handles, pe - .

The 1910 fall seeding of wheat is placed at 1,881,016 acres, or 97.8 per cent as compared with the seeding one year ago, when the ground seeded was 2.4 per cent greater than in 1908. The present condition of the wheat crop is only 76.2 for the state, there being considerable complaints as to lack of rainfall. Wheat condition, by sections is: Northeast, 78; North-| west, 79; Central, 75; Southwest, 77; Southeast, 72. OATS—Missouri this year produced a “bumper” crop of oats, the total yield for the state being placed at 25,071,115 bushels, as compared with 18,808,576 bushels in 1909, or 16,143- 862 bushels as the average of the total state yield for the last seven years. The average yield of oats per acre for the year 1910 was 33.2 bush- els, as compared with 26.9 bushels last year, or a 7-year average of 22.6 bushels. Not within the last decade and an average yield uf 15.3 bushels’ last year. At the average farm price | of 87.1 cents per bushel, this year’s | crop represents a value of $19, 170,143 as compared with $29,608,414, the ‘bax POWDER Baking Powder. Made from Grapes.

Williams and Arthur Dun- can have received from Washington letters patent on a display cabinet for 4710 clothing stores. The number of the 5460 patent is 977,080, and the device is a result, in large measure, of Mis- souri's corn campaign conducted by the State Board of Agriculture and Agricultural College. The 1910 corn acreage is placed at 7,795,786, an acreage never exceeded in the history of the state. Two! causes are largely responsible for the | immense number of acres harvested. | Practically no corn was lost by over-| flows in the river bottoms or their | | tributaaies, while in other years mil- lions of acres of corn have been lost in this way. The other item of in- | creased acreage comes in wheat jen plowed up last spring and | planted to corn. | It is gratifying to note that Missouri has increased her corn yield per capita from 59 bushels in 1900 to 72.5 bush- jels in 1910, a gain of 13.5 bushels ina } single decade. | The farm price of corn in Missouri this year is given as 42.7 cents or 15.4 cents less than last year, when it was 58.1 cents. As a result of this decidedly lower price the total esti- mated value of this year’s corn crop | is only $107,019, 354, orapproximately jseven million dollars’ less than last | year. The quality of this year’s corn crop, | thanks to a late and favorable fall, is | placed at 89 for the state. While the {quality is generally good, there is considerable complaint of soft and poorly matured corn in limited dis- | tricts. The leading county in the state, in point of yield per acre, is St. Charles with 46 bushels. _ Other leading coun- ties, by crop division sections, are as follows: Northeast, St. Charles, with Marion, 45, second; Northwest, La- fayette and Platte, 37 each; Central, Cole, 40; Southwest, Christian and Greene, 36 each; Southeast, Franklin 43. Saline is the leading corn county of the state in total number of bush- els produced, its estimated yield be- Audrain, 4,645,728; Northwest, Noda- way with 6,374,754 bushels and Atchison with 5,663,936; Central Saline, 6,838,092; Southwest, Vernon — Franklin, 1,882,- ’ A comparison of the corn crops for has the state produced any other suc crop of oats. At the estimated farm price of 30.3 cents per bushel, the value of the 1910 oat crop is placed at $7,605,185. The acreage this year was 755,754, as com with - 653 last year. The Northeast section of the state leads with 243,331 acres and a total estimated yield of 8,080,- 199 bushels. f 8 No N Matter \ What 9 Your § Christmas Wants May 4 4 ~ a -Remember ‘ that : this t is \ the Ruby Seese Anna Smiser Minnie Christie Carlie Howard Mrs. G.
