WHEAT CROPS VERY
FINE THIS YEAR.
This Years Crop Best Since l90l--
Average Crop Fifteen to Twenty
Bushels to the Acre-Hail
Hurt Crop Southwest OF
Town.

The wheat crop for the year 1907
is the best crop grown in Audrain
county for sixteen years, or since 1891,
The wheat all over the county aver
ages between fifteen and twenty BUSH
els to the acre and all very good quail
ity.
About five or six hundred bushels
are being brought in every day to the
Mexico Roller Custom Mill. 1t was
impossible to learn the facts con-
corning the wheat brought to the
Pollock's Mill,
Among the wheat raisers who have
brought wheat in is Harry Household
er, north Of town, who brought In
ons Of the largest loads. He had
200 acres in wheat from which
he threshed 5000 bushels. This
is an average OF eighteen bushels to
the acre, which is considered very good.
Otto Howard, also north OF town is
another good wheat man In this coun-
ty.
The wheat south and southwest Of
Of Mexico was greatly damaged by a
hail storm early this simmer. IIt is
said that the wheat In that section
would have made eighteen bushels to
the acre easily.
From this 1t is seen that Missouri
will take her place among the great
wheat raising states, as sne mas in
almost every other kind of industry,
and will become power on the wheat
market.

The advance detail Of 90. f., 4th.
Regiment, N. G.. M, left this city
Thursday night for st. Joseph, where
they will establish camp and await
the arrival Of the Company from this
city Sunday. Capt. Robertson and his
men will leave here late Saturday
night for ten days outing at Lake
Contrary where the annual encamp-
ment of Missouri troops is to be
held.
The enlistment of T. has visibly
increased in the past few days as new
recruits have joined SO they may en-
10y the benefits of soldier life In time
of peace. The men have good time
when not drilling as they are very
close to the lake and Its contingent
amusement park. They swim. sail,
ride In the electric launches and have
oil manner OF sport on the "Pike"
where a miniature Coney island ex-
sists. All Of the regiments have bands
and good ones so there is scarcely a
time during the day that some one
of these various musical organization
is not giving q concert.
This year all of the policing and
dirty work is done by hired labor and
one OF the distasteful features of
camp has been removed, making
lighter the tribulations Of the pri-
Yates. This will also keep the uni
forms cleaner and some Of the Nation
al guardsmen will not look like q
garbage collector on busy day.
For the officers there will be num-
erous social events at the Lotus Club,
the beautiful summer society resort
of st. Joseph that few cities Its size
sarl boast of its like. The outing Will
prove delightful event with all drill
ing and routine and the men return
having had the best kind OF time.
