a fe * Missouri Crop Report. Coluinbia, Mo., Sept. 2, 1911. The following crop report was is- sued today from the office of T. C. Wilson, secretary of the Missourj State Board of Agriculture: Rainfall throughout almost the en- tire state has greatly improved con- ditions since last monthly report, so that most crop correspondents speak hopefully of the outlook, such ex-/ pressions’ as ‘‘wonderful improve- ment,” ‘‘a real resurrection,’’ ‘‘al- most a miracle,’’ and ‘‘a far rosier outlook’’ are not uncommon.

As one correspond- ent states it, ‘Cotton condition, while excellent, is poorer than a month ago, on account of too much rain. is growing too rank, shedding squares and bolls, and under bolls rotting in rank growth owing to damp, ‘muggy’ weather.” OTHER CROPS—Flax, grown mainly in the Southwest section, suf- fered greatly because of dry weather. A preliminary estimate as to. yield fixes it at 3 bushels. Yield of rye, for state, is given as 13.6 bushels; buckwheat, 16; barley, 20. Condi- tions of tobacco is 65.4, a gain of 14.4 points for the month. In nearly every part of the state there is a largely increased acreage of millet, sorghum, Kaffir corn, cowpeas, etc., but in some cases it was so dry that seed did not germinate well. ’ PASTURES—In about 100 counties of the state rainfall has been suffi- clent to make fine fall pastures.

The Commoner. Gingered Apples—Cut five ounces of ginger root into pieces and put over the fire in one pint of water, al~ lowing it to simmer for three hours; add more water if needed to keep the pint. Strain out the ginger and be sure there is a pint of the water,+to which add the juice and grated rind of one lemon. Have five pounds of tart apples, after peeling, coring and cutting into small pieces, and add to! them five pounds of sugar; put the! fruit and sugar into the ginger water | and stew slowly until the apples are clear and. tender. | Creamed Potatoes—Cut boiled or baked potatoes into small pieces, put them into an iron kettle or frying pan with a little salt and pepper and suf- ficient cream to cook out in twenty | minutes—no rule ean be given, as it! depends on the amount of potatoes; and thickness of the cream. Milk, | | witha little butter can be used, but thick cream is best. Cover the kettle | after putting in the ingredients, and, lift the potatoes occasionally with a| knife to prevent burning, but do net stir. When cooked sufficiently, each | piece should be coated with the cream, | but there should not be any “gravy.’’ | | It may be set in the oven if preferred. ; Tomato Soup—One can of tomatoes, or eight ripe, fresh ones; cook until tender enough to rub through a sieve; have ready a quart of hot milk; re-. turn the tomatoes to the fire and add a pinch of soda as big as a pea, and when it ceases to foam, add salt and A Few Facts Concerning This Bank.
