n Lesson To Missouri Farmers.

There was a meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture in Columbia
last week and a paper by George
b. Ellis, State secretary, brought
ont some good lessons for the
farmers. The following are some
quotations therefrOm, and the
MESSAGE hopes its farmer readers
will note carefully what Mr.. Ellis
says:
Concerning the crops and live
stock conditions, Mr.. Ellis says:
notwithstanding the farmers of
State have sustained a loss in the
crops and live stock of more than
100 million dollars, they are bouy-
ant with hope and bending every
energy to recover the loss as soon
as Providence again smiles upon
them. Many will, no doubt, be
able to look back to the year 1901
as the beginning of better methods
in farming, more systematic rota-
ton of crops, of breeding better
live stock, of boring deep wells
instead of depending on shallow
ponds, of the more general grow
ing of drought resisting and soil
renovating crops, the building of
silos and the saving of the entire
fodder crop"
On May only about one-fifth
of the corn crop was planted, ac-
cording to the secrctary's report,
and onty 90 per cent was under
dirt by June |. The final estimate
of yield made in November show
ed an average yield for the State
of 90 bushels an acre. This in
dicatcs n total yield for the State
of 81 ,GG7 coo bushels. The quail
ity, however; is very inferior, as
much is worm eaten, light and
rOtton corn, grading on an aver
age ID per cent, This would
bring the total yield down to Il
feeding value of only p, $50, 900.

AGAINST 1872 800, 900 BUSHELS IN
1900.

AGAINST 1872, 800, 900 BUSHELS IN
1900.
In 1900 the corn acreage was
lab, 900, the yield was 80 bush
to the acre aud the total yield was
1872 800 900 bushels; in 1901 the
acreage was 600, 900, the aver
age yield was only 90 bushels an
acre and the total yield 81 ,661,-
600 bushels.
Mr.. Ellis called attention that
there was n 4 per cent increased
acreage of wheat over the previous
year. 1t is estimated that the
wheat acreage for 1902 is an in
crease of "a per cent over 1900.
Mr.. Ellis points to the fact that
there has been Il general decrease
in the number of all kinds Of live
stock in the State. The decrease
in horses is 13 per cent; of cattle,
all classes, 30 per cent; of fatten-
ing cattle, 20 per cent; of hogs,
all classes, 36 per cent: fattcning
hogs, % per cent, and sheep, n
per cent. The number of hogs
may soon be regaincd, but it will
require some time to regain the
loss in cattle.
A strong recommendation was
made to the board of agriculture
by w. 7. Darlington, A. G. How
ell and "A. 7. Nelson, which will
probably inaugurate new depart
urc in certain lines. They recon-
mend that monthly bulletins be
issued, devoted to agriculture or
mature study" in rural schools;
Also tlldt one lllSlIu'tol bc hP-
pointed for each of several sum
