MISSOURI CROPS.
Prospects Of Fair Yield Of Wheat
Grasses Making Good
Growth.

The following bulletin has Just been
issued by the State Agricultural de-
partment to-day: The week Just past
has been one of almost continuous
sunshine and high temperature, and
allowed of constant prosecution of all
work tending to benefit the a.ricul-
tural interests of the state. The
southern counties had an average
temperature that hardly reached the
normal, while the northern regions
ranged from one to three degrees
above. The precipitation was strictly
of showery character and was con-
fined mostly to the central and west
central counties. Generally sufficient
moisture still remained in the ground
to answer all purposes. But a few
counties, principally the northwestern,
report that gentle rain would be
beneficial
Taken as whole, the week furnished
the best growing weather of the
season, and was all that could be de-
sired to expedite, farming interests
and obviate the prevailing lateness of
the season. The dry winds have so
absorbed the surplus moisture as to
retard the most advantageous work.
The wheat prospects have commenced
to assume desperate aspect and are
anything but encouraging. On sandy
ground the outlook is several points
in the lead of conditions on other soil.
Upland plant shows the immediate
effect of a cold winter and no snow
protection, while the low land crop
has suffered from excess of precipita-
ton; a three-fourths crop will be a
good yield. according to present pros
poets. Grasses have made rapid
growth and pastures are in fine con-
dition. Clover prospects are poor. y
small worm is working much damage in
localities Oats are coming on finely
and present prospects indicate that
this crop will be the most bountiful
OF any product this season. Corn has
absorbed the major portion of farmers
time and a tention this week, and
planting has been pushed by all avail
able means. \ large acreage of the
early plant had to be replanted and
the coming week will probably witness
the completion of this work. Such Of
the first plant rs survived and Hour
ished through the wet and cold period
is now being cultivated, but the plant
is generally very spindling. The
prospects are very poor considering
the state as whole, owing to the wet
and cold weather and continuous high
winds that prevailed during the most
critical period in the development
of this crop. Early fruits are
dropping badly but the late has full
quota OF blossoms and will comprise
the major portion of the seasons pro
ductiOn. Strawberries are in full
bloom in many localities, and are gen.
orally reported as being in fine condi-
ton. Garden making has been well
attended to during the week, and
though most Of the early plant of the
vegetables rotted, the outlook even
now is several points better than last
season at tho corresponding date. The
outlook for the potato crop is not very
good. most of the early plants having
rotted; the backwardness of the
season Will cause a very perceptable
decrease i'm the acreage.
