Missouri Crop Report | The following report, showing Mis- souri crop conditions on August 1, was issued today from the office of! T. C. Wilson, secretary of the Mis-| souri State Board of Agriculture: | Crop conditions differ so greatly | | | i} throughout the state, even in parts of the same county, that it is practically impossible to issue an intelligent re- | port at this time. With only scatter- | ing showers or local downpours dur- ing July, the great need of at least three-fourths of the state isa general rain. To do the most good, this must come at once. Each day's delay means deterioration. Only 16 per cent of our correspondents report suf- ficient rainfall during July, and of | these one-half are in the northwest or northcentral parts of the state. At Columbia the rainfall for July was 3.38 inches, a deficiency of .27 inches. | Here the highest temperature was) 100 on the 29th and the lowest 59 on | the 22d, with 80.1 as the average| temperature for the month. | CORN—The condition of corn! throughout the state is 70.8; one, month ago, 86; one year ago, 846. | By sections, corn condition shows: | Northeast, 70 instead of 88 one month | ago; Northwest, 84 now and 92 then; | Central, 69 now and 85 then; South-/| west, 56 now and 82 then; Southeast, | 75 now and 82 then. In some of the | counties conditions are still such as to | indicate a big corn crop, as the fol- lowing figures, taken from some of, the most favored counties, show: | Saline, 89; Clinton, 100; DeKalb, 89; | Gentry, 88. On the other hand, due to lack of rainfall, or extreme heat, | and in a few instancesto chinch bugs, we have such reportsas these as to condition of corn: Hickory, 41; Bates, | 41; Cedar, 38; Johnson, 52; St. Clair, 37. Reports from some of the other counties in the same sections are sim- ; more favored. Even in different, neighborhoods in the same county! conditions sometimes differ_as. much { ilar, while a few have been much, = = Fy 2 ' Samuel ivy Mereanitile Company’s ig Oxford Sale Our Oxford stock must be reduced to make room for our new fall stock of shoes which will soon arrive. : We are Now Selling-- $3.50 Ladies’ Oxfords...... $2.50 $3.00 * as woe - $2.25 : $2.50 “ ns +. - $1.85 $2.00 ‘“ ss oes $1.65 $4.00 Men’s Oxfords........$3,00 > + $3.50 “ eee $2075 $3.00 “ in ceoeee S226 $2.00 Misses and Boys......$1.50 $1.25 Children’s Oxfords.... ,80 Extra Special-- 50 pieces 12%c dark colored gingham at............ 10c yard $10 all wool men’s suits, blue, brown, grays..........$6.75 15c fancy batiste at....... ere latarer sets ers MOA rene vase...

In the northwest section nine-tenths of the crop was cut with binder, and here some fields yielded from 50 to 60 bushels. Wherever oats were cut for hay they were saved in excellent shape and will afford the best of feed. PASTURES—Pastures are very poor, being brown and bare in many counties, with condition for state at 49, Where dry weather has been most severe a few farmers have com- menced to feed milch cows and other stock. OTHER CROPS—Yield of timothy hay is placed.at .7 tons per acre; mixed hay .9 tons. Prairie hay may not exceed .5tons. Acreage of mixed hay as compared with last year is 84 per cent; prairie hay estimated at 89 per cent. About one-third of the hay crop is being baled. Condition of ap- ples has fallen to 52. Peaches show acondition of 74, and the commer- cial crop of Southern Missouri, with harvest just now at its height, is one of the best everknown. Conditionof broomcorn is 73; flax, 64; melons, 63, tobacco, 66, cotton, 84; cowpeas, 80. Revised acreage figures on cotton as compared with last year, show 92 per cent, tobacco, 81; cowpeas, 105.
