Grand Old Missouri.

Is has often been said that q wall
could be built around Missouri and
the outside world shut out and ell
inhabitants would live as well and
luxuriously as now, but Ii remained
for the State Labor Bureau to prove
this assertion.
In 1905 she farmers OF Missouri ri,
according to the 1905 report OF the
State Labor Bureau. raised more
than enough of all necessities TO iced
all inhabitants, and also a large
variety OF commodities which are
classed as luxuries.
Enough wool Is clipped aud cotton
raised to supply all clothing and
enough hides and pelss sent to mar
ket for shoes and all other lea ther
goods.
For real cold weather the game OF
the state annually supplies enough
furs for muffs, gloves anl heavy
wraps wish some to spare Tor rugs
and other similar houseiurnisbings.
The forestry products are sutfi cient
to supply the demand Of everything
In the timber line, including tar for
roofs and wooden ware for the kitch-
en-. The southwest counties can sup
ply enough cottonwood and willow
for paper for the printer and all 9TH
ers needing this article.
The supply OF coal is almost mex
haustable and the same may be said
OF zinc, iron, lead and other minerals.
There are traces OF both gold and
silver In the state and every variety
Of stone is found In large quantities.
Lime and cement are turned out In
immense quantities and the material
from which they are Eade will last
forever.
Every vegetable, root and herb
used In the compromising OF medi-
cines can be and is grown here.
Sufficient tobacco " raised to sup.
ply the demand OF smoking and
chewing, and for those who want
pipe, why there lie the famous "Mis-
souri, meerschaum" made from a
corncob.
Popcorn is grown plentiiully and
more than supplies the demand OF
the State. The surplus Of 1905 was
S5,249 pounds, which sold for
$1256.
