no question of the truth or authenticity
of his commission from the people of
Boyd. He gathered considerab bic Hour

Missourrs Agricultural Resources.

The twenty-sixth annual report of the
Missouri state board of agriculture, COW
ering the operations for 1898, has been
issued. In the letter of TRANSMISSION
the secretary, Mr.. J. R. Rippey, says:
While we believe the condition of the agricul-
turist in this state is good, perhaps better
than elsewhere. we can not say that it is salts
factory. Live stock and grain are produced in
many instances at an actual loss, and under the
most favorable circumstances pay niggardly
wages for the labor OF production.
This, says the Kansas City Times, is
a gloomy exhibit to present to the
farmers of the country. The
trouble with the farmers in Missouri
is not that they don't work hard
enough. for they do, but that they are
not sufficiently economical in the pur-
suit of their business on the one hand
and progressive in their methods on
the other. In the current report one
of the contributors states from the
earliest recollections of the oldest in
habitant there has been no ma
terial change in the system of working
the roads or manner of constructing
them" That is to say, the same waste
full methods obtain now that prevailed
100 years ago, and that is as true of
other features of rural affairs as in
making and maintaining roads. The
wonderful fertility of the soil, and the
boundless resources of Missouri make
people reckless not only in the agricul-
tural field, but in all avenues of pro-
ductive industry.
REASON TO FEEL DISAPPOINTED.
No doubt the farmers have reason to
feel disappointed at meager returns for
their labor in the rich valleys and
plains of this section of the country.
but as compared with those similarly
employed in other sections of
this country, notably the New
England states. they have every
reason to feel grateful. With the adj
vance of mechanical science the labor
of agricultural pursuits will be les
sened and the rewards increased, and
it is gratifying to know that then as
now this section will be far in advance
of others not only in opportunities but
in results.

Sedalia is one of Missouri's proudest
and most progressive little cities. The
Bazoo, of that city, speaking in the
line of improvements, says: ''Sedalia
people will have q great deal to do next
year. Build a new opera house, erect
. large convention hall. lay out a new
park or two, construct an electric line
to McAllister Springs, pave dozen or
more streets and get several factories
In operation" In this connection it
may be said that the Sedalia spirit will
pervade the entire state before the
close Of 1896. Other Missouri towns
contemplate extensive improvements.
