CROPS FOR LATE PLANTING.
Advice From Missouri Experiment
Station.

The unprecedented rains have de-
stroYed wheat, rye, oats, and corn in
many localities Of the state. 1t is not
yet too late to secure good yields OF
several valuable forage and grain crops.
Only se~venty-five per cent of the corn
has so far been planted in the state.
There is yet time to plant corn, and
with an average season secure a fair
yield Of grain. The following sugges-
tons are offered to farmers at this
time who failed to finish
planting corn before the rams, and
also to those whose crops have been
destroyed by wasbouts, floods and
overlows.
PLANT CORN UP TO JULY lsT.
Farmers will be urged to try many
sorts OF new forage aud grain plants
which are recommended to be far
better than corn. This Station advises
all farmers to plant corn in every case
where the conditions will allow this to
be done before July LIST. The most
important factor in securing a crop
when planted so late, is the selection
OF the right variety of corr which will
mature earliest in your locality. Some
early maturing varieties of corn thot
can be recommended are Pride of the
North, Riley's Favorite, Reid's Yellow
Dent, and any variety of Flint corn.
ANY one of these varieties will weld
more grain or forage in Missouri than
almost any other forage crop, If plant
ed before July /. These varieties
should be planted somewhat thicker
than the varieties usually grown in
Missouri.
SORGHUM AND KAFIR CORN.
These crops are grown extensively
every year in some SECTIONS of Missouri.
They yield a large amount of forage,
and if planted before The first of July
they may also produce a good yield Of
grain. The best variety of sorghum
for Missouri under the pl esent late
conditions is the Early Amber. For
bottom lands we recommend the Early
Orange which stands up better. This

Attention Farmers.

Added to a fine display of crops anC
photographs It is the purpose of the
superintendent Of agriculture to show
by means of charts and placards what
our best soils are capable of producing.
In every community there is no doubt
a fairly anthenic record of some bum
per yield of corn, wheat, oats, pota-
toes, tobacco, cotton, watermelon,
clover, or other crop, either for last
year or some previous season or a
record of an unusually large area of
some crop grown on a single farm
with creditable yield, or one or more
cases where someone has made a
large profit per acre on some crop
These facts properly displayed will
do even more than crops and pilot o.
graphs to impress the visitor with the
greatness of Missouri as an agricul-
tural state. Will the citizens of each
county or community see that we are
provided with these facts?
Let us have the records of extra
large yields of any crop.
Records of unusually large areas of
any crop grown on a single farm or by
an individual farmer.
Records of fine average yields ex-
tending over a series of years.
Records of two or more valuable
crops being taken from a piece of land
in a single season.
Records are exceptionally large fin
anclal returns per acre from 9ny crop
in any single season or for a series
of seasons.
Records of large stock feeding oper-
ations, etc, etc.
1t is earnestly urged that the far
mers of the comfy who have any
reliable statistics of bumper crop yields
communicate the same to E. N. Hop
kins, editor of the Lexington INTELL1-
GENcER, who will have charge of the
strtistics for Lafayette county.
Very Respectfully,
H. ]. WATERS,

COWPEAs.

Cowpeas have been grown success-
fully IN every section of the State of
Missouri. The best time for plating
them is from the fifteenth Of June to
the hrsI of July. They can be planted
as late as the middle of July. The
yields of hay from cowpeas planted on
good soil, are from n and a half 10
three ton pc: acre. This hay is as
valuable as clover hay for purposes of
feeding. The best varieties for Mis-
souri, are Clay and Whipoorwill for
hay, and the New Era, Warlen's
Extra Early and Rep Ripper for grain.
If cowpeas are planted Immediately it
will be possible TO cut them for hay

ny discing the ground thoroughly, put
it in splendid condition for wheat.
SOY BEANS.
This crop furnishes one of the most
valuable grains for feeding purposes
that can be produced on the average
Missouri farm. The yield of Soy
Beans is from twenty to thirty bushels
per acre. They can be planted In
June at the rate OF half a bushel per
acre. They should be planted in drills
about three feet apart. They can be
harvested by pasturing with hogs or
they may be paslured with other ami
mails, OF they may be harvested for
their gram.
Every farmer who has land that has
not been planted on account of the
recent rains should plan to put in some
ofthe crops suggested above. It is
not at all necessary that the land
should lie Idle, and Missouri may vet
produce a maximum crop. The Sta

R BET ON DERBY
Highban Is Picked by Bennett to
Beat Proceeds.

Highball, the champion two-year-old of
the East, is picked by turfmen as the horse
most likely to win the American Derby
next June if an Eastern horse turns the
trick. An argument over the running quail
tiles of the son of Ben Strome has brought
the first bet on the great three-year-old
race of next season. George c.. Bennett, a
Memphis turfmen, who has himself tried to
win the Derby. recently declared his belief
that Highball could win the race If nothing
happened to him before that time.
Sam c. Hildreth took the other end of the
argument. He declared that he could name
"a Western horse TO beat Highball, and was
willing to back his selection. The discus
sion led up to the initial bet on the race.
Hildreth picked Capt. 5. S. Browns Pro-
ceeds, and the two men put up 500 each to
one, as all horsemen prefer TO wait until
horses have passed their third birthdays
before backing them to win Derbies.
Highball has before been prominently
mentioned as a possible Derby favorite.
His owner, w. M. Scheftel, of New York,
has declared his intention to run the colt
that the horse is conceded the two-year-old
championship of the East naturally makes
him at least a strong factor in the early
calculations on the race.
Highball earned his title as the best of
Eastern youngsters when ne won the Junior
Champion stakes at Gravesend. In that
rate ne cdIiieu LAi POuHuS ana Ceat a nne
field. Previous to that victory he Won the
F1atbush and Goldenrod stakes.
Highball was beaten in the Futurity, but
there was plenty of excuse for 1t. He had
up the top weight of 127 pounds in that race,
and ran fifth after having some bad luck.
He demonstrated his superiority in decisive
fashion all through the fall races in the
East.
The colt is trained by BUD" May, a for
mer Western turfman. May believes his
charge is the best ever produced, and is
anxious to get a chance to run against the
Western horses in the Derby.

GRADUATE
The System Increases College Spirit

The graduate coach system is gradually
becoming more popular among the Western
colleges. 1t has many advantages, as it
increases college spirit. In discussing the

extended to Illinois next year. is, 1t

and sentiment, on which the king of col
lege sports thrives. How many gridiron
enthusiasts can tell without hesitation who
were the head coaches at Yale and Har-
ward this year? 1t is not because of the
distance so little is heard of them. for in
the East those elevens are not spoken or
written of as "ChadWick'S men, or Gran

much of "Yostis men, or Stages eleven"

heart OF a student or alumnus as If he

Record-Breaking Cows.

Philadelphia Record.
The production of milk and butter on
the farm has become a science. In Europe,
Canada and some States I'm this country
dairy schools are being established. the
pupils taking a full course of instruction
in all the branches pertaining to that de-
partment of agriculture, with the result
that dairying is not only being brought up
from it's original conditions and methods.
but is being made to pay on farms that be-
fore afforded no profit. cleanliness and the
handling of milk are considered the most
important matters connected with dairy
ing, and it is surprising how much can be
taught on that subject alone. The rapidity
with which milk decomposes and the
causes therefor are made plain. ana YET;
article as milk farmers do not yet perfectly
understand the cause OF difficulty in churn-
ing, lack of flavor in butter and diminution
of the supply Of milk at times when the
cow should be most profitable. The
amount of butter that can be produced by
a cow from a certain quantity CT milk
can be determined before the churning is
done, and the flavor of the butter can be
controlled by the cultivation and introduce
ton into the cream of bacilla that have al
ways influenced the process, but which fact
was heretofore unknown. The greatest
advance hat has been made In carrying,
however, is the separation of dairy cows
into Dree0S ana inc iea0 tdkeH Dy ldIhllleS
of those breeds. One cow-a Holstein-is
claimed to have a record of a fraction less
than LISA pounds of butter for a year, with
four pounds and nine and one-half ounces
as her best days production. Her milk
record for one day has reached sixty-nine
pounds and ten ounces lover thirty-two
q~uarts), which indicates a large produc.
ton of rich milk. Cows of the Jersey breed
also have excellent records for butter. and
some of them combine large milk yields
with their great butter production. They
have excelled in their specialties, and the
effect has been to attract the attention Of
dairymen to the possibilities of the cow as
a producer, and induce them to seek some
thing better for their purpose than the ordi-
nary animals. Dairymen are learning that
if COWS under certain conditions, and repre-
senting certain lines of breeding. which
have made large production inherent. can
reach such records. they must resort to
the better animals or be forced out of bust
ness by those who are progressive. II it
is possible for a cow TO reach the enormous
production of 1,14 pounds of butter in one
year. the fact has impressed itself upon
farmers that they are inflicting themselves
with a large animal loss by using animals
that average only 150 pounds of butter for
the same length of time.
