The Butler Weekly Times Printed on Thursday of each week ROBT, D, ALLEN, Editor and Manager Entered at the Post Office of Butler, Mo., as PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR Missouri Crop Report. Columbia, Mo., Sept. 27, 1913.— The following report showing present Missouri crop conditions was issued today from the office of the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture: One of the worst drouths for many years has been broken by general rains that have fallen during the month. However, more rain especi- ally in a few of the northwest coun- ties, is still needed, but in this section the dréuth was not as severe as in other parts of the state. The rainfall at Columbia, since September 1, has been 3.68 inches. The highest tem- perature recorded here was 103 de- grees on the 4th. The lowest was 27 on the morning of the 22d when light | cool, rainy and cloudy weather. | There is much complaint of corn and ifodder spoiling in the shock, es- pecially where cut early. It is esti- mated that 92 per cent of the crop is ‘now safe from frost. A preliminary | estimate as to yield places it at 17.5 | bushels for the state, with sectional jyields as follows: Northeast, 18.6 bushels per acre; Northwest, 20; Central, 18; Southwest, 10.9; South- east, 19.9. Onan estimated acreage of 7,610,000 acres this would indicate a probable yield of approximately 133,000,090 bushels. In the dry year of 1901, the average state yield was 9.9 bushels and the total production of corn for the state 61,667,000. In 1911, the average yield per acre was 25.3 bushels and the total production 191,334,000. While a few fields will this year make yields of from 60 to 70 bushels, they are generally ~on bottom farms. Only 31 crop corres- pondents report any'corn for sale and shipment from their same county. The estimated farm price at which corn is expected to start is 73 cents per bushel. The highest price quoted is in.the Southwest—78 cents and the frost was reported in low places. Since the rains a general spirit of optimism prevails as is shown by ‘such statements as the following from farmers: ‘Everybody full of vim ‘and looking for a bumber crop in 1914.” “This has been one of the lowest 66, in the Northwest. It is estimated that 60 per cent of the corn crop of the state was cut and shocked or placed in silos. WHEAT.—September rains have put wheat grounds in fine Lanrgaad | yield 2.8 bushels per acre. The aver- age price at which seed is selling is placed at $2.98. The condition of pastures is 41. Grass has made a fine start since the rains and with a warm open fall, there will yet be considerable pasture. The condition of tobacco is 61 for the state. Cotton condition is 54. Cowpeas made a very slow growth on account of the dry weather and will be late. The The condition is reported at 60. Con- siderable rye is being sown for fall pasture. The shortage of stock water ago has been relieved, 83 per cent of the correspondents reporting suffi- cient water for live stock. Mrs. Keller’s Trial Begins Harrisonville, Mo., Sept. 29.—The work of selecting a jury for the trial of Mrs. Ida May Keller, charged with the murder of her husband and 7- year-old daughter, was begun in the District Court here today. It is believed that the taking of tes- timony will not begin before Wednes- day. Keller, a railroad laborer, and his daughter, were slain in their beds on the morning of June 10. Mrs. Keller that a man had entered her house, slain her husband and daughter, and that she had wrested the ax from him which was so pronounced a month}: ran.toa neighbor’s house and said |; ' when he attacked her and her other |,. | THREE SEEK BENCH TO SUCCEED LAMM Rader, Blair and Seehorn Splendidly Equipped for Duty in Supreme Court Jefferson City, Mo., Sept- 29.— There will be three, if not more, can- didates for the Democratic nomina- tion for Judge of the Supreme Court, to succeed Chief Justice Henry Lamm of Sedalia. Perry S. Rader, official reporter of the court, and James T. Blair, one of the four Court Commissioners, have not made any direct announcement of their candidacies, but have been quietly preparing for the contest. The third man is Judge Thomas J. Seehorn of the Jackson County Circuit Court. Mr. Rader made the race last year for the place on Division No. 1 of the court and was defeated in the pri- mary by Judge Henry W. Bond. Mr. Blair served as Assistant At- torney General under Gov. Major when the latter was in that office; until selected as one of the four com- a- | Our revival.
