MISSOURI IN NEED OF RAIN
Parched Grain Fields Are Worrying
the Tillers of the Soil.

The June bulletin Of the Missouri
State Board Of Agriculture, just is
sued says:
The general condition for crops has
been greatly reduced since May !, on
account Of the drought which has pre-
vailed throughout the State. Only a
few sections report any rain of conse-
quence, and most correspondents re-
port no rain for from four TO six weeks.
II the drought continues many days
longer the damage may be much
greater than now estimated, but
should a general rain fall within the
next week much Of the damage would
be recovered.
Wheat-The cool weather has been
favorable for wheat, but the extreme
drought and the rayages Of insects in
some counties have cut down the con
dition OF the crop from 80 on May ! to
SO June /. Northeast section shows a
loss Of Is points, the northwest only 2
the central section the greatest loss
being "a, the southwest Is and the
southeast l6. Correspondents report
the grain filing well, buta number re
port that on thin upland some win be
too short to cut.
Corn-The cold and dry weather
greatly retarded the termination OF
the seed and the growth Of the plant,
many reporting only about one-hali
stand. The cool weather has alsC
been favorable for cut worms, wire
worms, corn louise and moles, which
are doing considerable damage. The
average condition for the State is
only II, against 81 for the same time
last year. The average compared
with last year is 90. Northeast sec
tion 1O2, northwest 100, central 81,
southwest 9s, southeast SO. Ninety
per cent Of the crop is reported
planted.
Oats-A greater falling OF is
noticed in the cat crop than in any
other. The ground was generally
wet when the oats were sown, followed
by cool, dry weather, puts the crop in
very poor condition. The average for
the State is only 50, compared with 81
one month ago and 81 n year ago.
The highest average is now 70 in
northwest, lowest, A, in central.
Apples-The condition has been re-
duced from SO last month to IA now.

Mexico weekly ledger., 1901-06-20


TIE Moberly DeH0eraL one Of Mis-
souris most conservative aud infu-
entail papers, takes our friend, Kelly
Pool, Of the Centralia Coudier, in too
serious a manner. In reference to a
little "plessantry'' published in the
Courier, the Democrat says; Last week
the Centralia Courier contained the
following sQuib: Funny how great
minds run in the same channel. for
instance, two editorials identical to
the crossing Of a I, appeared in the
Mexico LEDGER and the MOberly
DsR0onai on the same day. OF course,
it was commencing ex- Governor Steph-
ems. Simon says 'thrmbs up'-and
thumbs went up" Continuing the
Dsnsocrai says: II the editorial in the
Democrat was not credited to the LED
GER, it should have been and was 50
marked when sent 70 the composing
room. But that is neither here nor
there. 1t was a sensible, fair and just
editorial, like many others found in
the LEDGER, and one the Democrat
could heartily endorse. When, how
ever, any one intimates that any Gov
enor, either in, or out Of Office, die
tates editorials for the Den0orGt, and
we believe the same is true Of the
LEDGER, he either is misinfOrmed or
wilfully preyaricates- Brother Pool
is a reputed Bible scholar and very
much Of a mOralist and, Of course,
knows what is said about charity, but
according TO our observation, he prac-
tees it less along political lines than
apy one Of our ACQUAINTANCE.
