Missouri Crop Report. Columbia, Mo, June 6, 1914 — The following report, showing Missouri crop conditions on June 1, was issued today from the of- fice of the secretary of State Board of Agriculture: ig Unfavorable weather condi tions prevailing throughou! much of the month of May have low | ered the crop outlook. Farther- more, a deluge of: pests attack- ing practically every growing crop makes it impossible to fore cast results with any degree of accuracy. Great destruction has been wrought by the Hessian fly and army worm There is also some little complaint of the green bug. So far the chinch bug has appeared in but a few localities. With ample rainfall at once the prospect would be materially changed for the bet ter. At this time practically ev ery section of the state, except the southeastern group of coun ties, less than a dozan counties io =the extreme southwestern section in a few north Missouri counties that have been favored by local rains, are suffering for moisture. Wheat—During May the condi- tion of Missouri wheat fell from 101 8 to 82.6, a loss of 19 2 points for the month. Most of this less is due to the work of the Hessian fly, which has been unusually destructive in the best wheat counties bordering the Missouri aud Mississippi rivers. Dry weather, army worm, the green bug and in a few instances chinch bugs have also “damaged | wheat. fo the counties of Frank lin, Gasconade, St.- Louis, Ma rion, Lincoln, Montgomery, Pike, Ralls, St. Charles, Warren, Cal- laway, Chariton, Cooper, How- ‘ard, Osage, Saline, Carroll, La fayette, Livingston and Ray, which last year procuded 14, 238, 000 bushels of wheat, correspon dents report 86 percent of the crop injured by the Hessian fly, and estimate that the wheat Soil condition is 85 Fields are free from weeds, have been well cultivated and with suficient rainfall from this date there ig hope of a great crop. The acre age will be practivally the same ras last year, or—slightly more than 7,500,000 acres. Oats—There is no chance for @ good oat crop, dry weather having already done its work Much oats will be. too short to cut with ‘binders. Some of this is being pastured or will be cut for hay. The condition of the oat crop for the state is 63, witb section average as _ follows: Northeast, 61; Northwest, 66; Central, 61;Southwest, 85, South- east 58 Other Crops—Meadows, es p cially timothy, have suffered most, both from weather eni army worms, as well as weeds. Prospects for a hay crop are ex ceedingly poor Warly reports were to the effect that the drouth of last year was especially no- ticeable in a large number of weeds that had appeared io meadows This month come general complaints of the. work of the army worm in these same meadows. The condition of tim othy for the state is 58 Clover has suffered a little less, the con dition of this crop ‘being 63. Many meadows have been cut earlier than’ would otherwise have been in order to save the hay ta advance of the coming of the army worm. In the dryer sections of the state practically all new timothy and clover is dead. Alfalfa shows a condition of 87 per cent, the early cuttings being better than usual, Condi tion of rye is 88. Barley, 80 Pastures which earlier gave such splendid promise of plenty, have -been. practically destroyed over much of the state. Even where the army worms have not strip ped the blue grass and other grasses, dry weather hasdone much damage.

It’s easy, just put a line of coal tar between your wheat field and corn and “Mr. Chinch Bug” will _Not cross over. A 50 gailon barrel of coal tar will . make a line one half mile long. Come in and get a gallon of tar and try it out—don’t wait—get in line early and beat Mr. Bug to-.it. rn The hay crop is going to be short, but we have the silo crop good and long—one-piece Fir Stave Hinge Door Silos, at a very short price. These Silos have eight cables and six base anchors. Yes, we put them there so they will stay put. We have been in the Silo game for several years.and we find that the One-Piece Fir Stave Silo gives the best satisfaction for the money in- vested.
