Corn Is King Sure Enough.

The price of corn will never again be
as low as it was ten and fifteen years
since, says the Brook field (Mo) Argus"
within the memory of many Missouri
farmers corn sold for from 10 to 1S cents
per bushel, but it will never sell SO low
a gain, no matter the size Of the crop.
This is due to the constantly increasing
demand for corn, occasioned by diver
sified uses to which it is put and to the
tact ii at the means of transportation has
been SO developed that the Missouri farm
er Can now reach any market in the coun-
try without paying all his product is
worth to transport it there. And as the
price of corn has become permanently
higher and remains at high figure. The
man who owns a section of good corn
land in North Missouri has an indepen
dent fortune" Waat is true of Missouri
will hold good every place. The area
of corn land is nearly fixed, but popu,a-
tion is not. 1t increas es rapidly, and SO
more corn is consumed year by year in
various forms and more and more fed to
animals to meet home and foreign de-
mands. If population keeps on .increas-
ing as in the last decades for another
quarter of century we will have 100000
600 people and it will require all we can
raise to feed them. unless the West learns
more scientific methods of treating her
land Corn is destined to remain king
for many day.

Works" the Hicks weather forecasts for
the present month:
"A reactionary storm period is central
on the I'd, Sd and 4th. The indications
are that the disturbances coming over
frou. the last October period will be pro-
longed into this reactionary period. At
any rate, the interval between the two
periods will be unsettled anu threatening,
making a spell of bad weather during the
closing days of October and the opening
days of November. These disturbances
of snow and rain will eliminate about the
3rd and 4th and be followed by rising
barometer, northwestly and cold, frosty
nights.
"A regular storm period is central on
the 9th, extending from the 74h to the
18th. The moon is III euaGrature to the
earth and sun, or at last quarter, on the
central day of the period. By the 9th
the growing storm conditions will have
increased, so that general cloudiness and
rain will be in progress in western sec
tions, and during The 10th, 18th and 18th
rain, turning to sleet and snow on the
western f1anks of storm areas will pro-
gress TO the east across the country. This
is another period which promises to be
prolonged into spell of unsettled, if not
continued rainy, snowy, stolmy weather.
The moon is on the celestial equator on
thu 18th, the central day Of the Mercury
equinox, hence sudden rise in tempera-
ture, with possible Lightning and thunder
in the south, with autumnal rain and
sic ct will be most likely on that date.
Alt ogtther this period promises much
dis agreeable and stolmy weather. Ordi
narily it would terminate in high baro-
meter and cold wave about the 18th, but
