Climate and Crop Bulletin.
Columbia, Mo-, July 81. l9O.

Columbia, Mo-, July q, 1903.
Corn continues to make good prog
ress, as a rule, and except in a few of
the northern and southwestern counties
much the greater part of the crop has
been laid by in good condition. In
ONE of the northern, central and
western counties, and also in localities
in The extreme southern counties, it is
much in need of rain, but has not yet
been injured, except In a few localities
in the southwest section. There is,
however, much complaint that corr is
tasseling low, and while a good crop is
promised in many counties, over a
large portion Of the state its general
condition is below the average. Chinch
bugs are doing some damage to corn
in a few of the eastern counties. Re.
planted corn on o~verfowed lands is
generally making a fine growth, except
in some localities where it has not
received proper cultivation. Cotton,
in the extreme southeastern counties,
is doing well, but is needing rain 10
localities. Except in a few districts,
where rain interfered to some extent,
the weather has been favorable for
hayIng and an excellent crop Is being
secured in good condition. In some
counties haying is progressing slowly
owing to a scarcity of help. Oats are
practically all cut and in many counties
it IS found that the crop has been
damaged by rust. The threshing Of
wheat is progressing favorably in most
sections but the yield is generally light
and the gram of poor quality. Early
potatoes are about matured and are an
excellent crop in some districts, while
In Others the yield is light. Gardens
are suffering for rain in some localities
but are generally doing well. Pastures
continue good, except in some of the
central and western counties where
they are becoming quite dry. Sorghum,
millet and cowpeas are generally doing
we'll. B~lackberries are very abundant
in most sections but in some districts
the crop IS being ruined by dry
weather. Apples continue dropping
to some extent and the crop will b.
very light, as a rule. Early apples arr
now rlpening. A. E. HACKETT,
Section Director U. S. Weather Bureau

Long Talk.

The Announcement in the Gazette
that Colorado Springs will be con-
nected with New York. Chicago and
the larger cities of the east by long
distance telephone within few
months more has awakened considera-
BILE interest among the business men
of the city.
A better system of communication
with the financial and business CEN
ters of the east has long been needed
by Colorado Springs and the Others
cities of the west and with the an
nouncement made yesterday this i'm
provement seems to be a reality
.iWhen the enormous, cost of such an
enterprise is considered the magni-
tude of the proposed plans is realized.
The poles throughout the entire sys.
tenn will have to be much larger
and higher than the poles used on the
local lines and the wires Will be sew
eral times as large.
A strong electrical current is need
ed to convey the sound waves the
many thousand miles between here
and New York city and the larger
wire is needed to carry this currert.
Electrical currents diminish through
resistance which can only be offset
by the use of large wires high above
the earth.
With the installation and operation
of the long distance phone. however.
the mining industry of the west has
been placed in direct communication
with the financial centers of the east
where any of the stockholders and
directors live and the own

lies between the east and west will

A prominent mining man said yes

to Colorado Springs Will be inestima-
BILE. While the cities east of the Mis-
sissippi have been connected by long
distance phones for number of years

jest is actually announced the business

About week or more ago l. n.
Bunting. editor of The Sentinel
scratched the ankle of his right foot
is some unknown manner. The scratch
was so slight that he paid no atten-

it began to annoy him and he rubbed
it considerably. About the middle of
last week in the hurry of moving he
paid no attention to it until it began
to give him pain. Sunday afternoon
DR.. Ingersoll was called and lanced the
ankle slightly at two different places
as it gave some slight evidence of To-
cal blood poisoning. Monday DR.
Ingersoll again lanced the sore as deep
as the bone and found slight sack
of pus, which he removed Tie lane
ing was a most effectual remedy. as
