MIssourrs Great Corn Crop.


The monthly crop bulletin issued by
the state agricultural bureau has this
to say regarding the corn crop:
Corn has improved in condition from l0S to
lis pei cent. Of an average crop since the LIST
Of August, and this increase on the estimate
then made win give q total yield for the state.
In round numbers, OF 100000 bushels, the
largest crop produced in the history Of the
state, and probably larger than that OF any
state In the Union. Further precipitation is
not necessary for the improvement OF or for
maturing the crop. An early freeze appears
the only source Of danger, and that is imp=ob-
able.
KILLING FRosTs
The earliest killing frosts on record were:
At Keokuk. Ia, September 10, 1875; OF St.
Louis. October IL, 1875; Kansas City, October
B. 1894; Columbia, September q. 1890. The ay-
erage date for a term Of years of killing frosts
for Keokuk. Is October II; St Louis, October
II: Columbia, October IS; Springfield. October
o, and Cairo, October a. By killing frost Is
meant one of such severity as wouldkil toma-
toes. potatoes or melon vines, or damage other
tender vegetation.
A SUGGESTION.
The surplus corn OF the present season may
be profitably disposed of in growing hogs and
in feeding cattle. But this should be done
ony Wucu pfOutdDAc PRICES Cau NC Ec1ilLcu
and not for the solution OF the problem. What
Is to Be Done With the Corn Crop?" a problem
that seems to be worrying the metropolitan
press. The corn crop will keep, and should not
be disposed Of without remuuerative prices"
For the Science OF the Thing.
Alfred Henderson, aged so, was
jailed at st. Louis on the charge of
counterfeiting.
He is said to be the last OF the counterfeiters
In the Dunklln county gang. Henderson is an
odd fellow, q member Of the Baptist church.
and says he Just went into the scheme for the
science Of the thing. Henderson attributes his
trouble TO old man Blandon. the alledged lead
or Of the gang. on account OF jealousy. John
A. R. Blandon and his son Alonzo were ar
rested, then came the arrest Of old man Rice
and his son. and then Henderson fell under the
ban, but only after the Blandons and Rices had
done O great deal Of verbal cross-iring.

for the Yerkes telescope. Is completed
and will soon be shipped to its destina-

are confident astonishing discoveries
may be made as soon as it is set up.
