Wilson, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture: Rainfall is reported throughout al- most all parts of Missouri during the last few days of July and a general note of optimism is noticeable in the Bonds May be Exempt. 8:30.—Sermon by Rev.

We H one of the 114 counties of the state being well represented. While more rain is needed in a majority of the counties of the state, except some in the southeast and southwest sections, conditions have greatly improved. There isno fear of failure. The preach- er of pessimism has been driven from ‘his pulpit, while the people of Mis- souri, a state that has never had a complete crop failure, rejoice in a hope that has never failed to be justi- fied by a harvest. July was deficient in rainfall, yet such damage as was done corn and other crops was due largely to the ex- treme heat of the first week of the} month. A maximum of 105 degrees was recorded at Columbia July 5. St. Louis had her hottest weather July 3 and 4, when the mercury mounted to 101 degrees. The last half of the month was generally pleasant, and in St. Louis on the 26th | 56 degrees was recorded. At Colum-| bia the mean temperature for the month was 0.4 of a degree above normal; at St. Louis, one degree | above; at Kansas City, two degrees | above. Rainfall for the month was: | ibia, 3.03 inches, or .62 of an} selow normal; Kansas City, 1.44) s, as compared with average of! 1 inet largely responsible for the showing made by Missouri corn, despite the extreme heat and shortage of rainfall | for approximately three months.

Wherever rain | has fallen during the last few days the value of the fight to conserve moisture has been shown. One cor- respondent writes, ‘Since the rain it’s more like a resurrection than a re- vival, with the corn.’’ Instead of an average condition of 21 for the state, as was the case August 1, 1901, the present condition is now 61.2—north- east, 57; northwest, 62; central, 52; year August 1 average for the state is 78.9. Condition one month ago was 83.6; one year ago, 82.2. Correspond- cattle of the state, went to market be- fore the run was checked. It is also estimated that the number of sows that would otherwise have been kept to farrow fall litters has been reduced 24 per cent. Catch crops, such as millet, sorghum, cowpeas, rye, etc., will go far toward meeting any feed shortage, the acreage being by far in the city, yet it is believed they think the $3,500,00 bond issue should become the property of residents of the State and that in the event Mis- sourians do purchase the securities law exempting them from taxation.
