Missouri Corn Is II.

From the Joplin (Mo) Globe.
When you think about Mis-
souri, and are wont to toot her
horn, please to give IA passing
mention to her golden yield of
corn. Though she sets he pace
industrial in apples rosy red.
and in other lines of effort is
>erenely at the bead. it is only
very recently she's come INTO
her own as the state wherein
the biggest crop of yellow corn
is grown. The bureau Of sta
tistics agricultural relates that
Mi souri, now has distanced all
her sisterhood of states in the
number Of acres dedicated unto
coru and the number of bushe
from each fruitful acre Dor
The statistics draw comparisons
which show upon their face that
Miss Prohibition Kansas is as
signed to second place and an.-
bilious Oklahoma, of whom a
deal is hearl, the facts and lev
6gnres8stick in corner labeled
third. Now in zinc as every
body knows, we're at the top
most round. and in the same
position as to lead we'll soon
be found. We have marbles,
we have GRANTEES, whole gal
aXy Of wealth and a climate
that's conducive to immortal
brands Of health. Every young
idea that's shooting in Missouri
public schools is acquainted
with the glory of Missouri's
matcbless mules. The states
manship that we've produced is
up in apogee, the only thing
we're shy on is the specie G. o. p
But that of course, is something
which occasionsaro regret, and
reference will be pardoned on
the ground "lest we forget.
Most all the facts however,
which we've paused herewith to
trace have been noted for the
reason that they help to fill the
space. This familiar informa
tion isn't sprung as something
new, nor 10 add a brighter pol
ish to the crown of old Nilsson"
But regarding corn we must
confess lit stirs US up a bit to
learn that old Missouri in that
respect is 1T. So hereafter.
when you feel inclined to foot
the old states horn don't for
get to blow a blast or two in
honor of her corn.
