Crops are Above Normal.

Columbia.-The monthly crop report
Of the secretary Of the State Board of
Agriculture says:-"Considering the
entire crop situation in Missouri, the
condition Is normal for the state as a
whole, and on account OF the advance
in prices of most farm crops, the value
OF all crops produced in the state this
year will probably considerably exceed,
the value Of any former year, except
one. The drought conditions which
prevailed in Southwest Missouri dur
ing July and the first part of August
have been generally relieved by good
rains. Fall pastures are unusually
good. Live stock Of all kinds is doing
well and bringing satisfactory prices.
Farm lands are reported In good de-
mand, and a great many farms are
changing ownership at advanced prices.
The corr crop is very spotted, and 1t
Is difficult to make an accurate estl-
mate. The lowland corn in most parts
OF the state was considerably damaged
by excessive rains In the early part of
the season. In the southwest quarter
OF the state, including a district from
Vernon and st. Clair counties south,
and as far east as Carter and Ripley
counties, the corn has been severely
damaged by the drought. Some neigh
borhoods will not produce more than
so per cent Of a crop. In all other
parts Of the state the crop promises a
full average and many counties above
an average. Most Of the corr is late,
and will require about four weeks to
ripen. II a killing frost does not come
before October IA. the entire crop viii
have sufficient time to fully ripen.
Throughout the northern section of
the state corn promises more than an
average yield. and as the greatest corn
producing section is In Northwest Mis-.
souri,. this will considerably overbal.

Provides for a Council In Every Dio
cese to Combat Popular "Er.
rors."-Provisions Of
Eneyclical.

Rome-The Observatory Romano,
organ Of the Vatican, issued an
important encyclical Of Pope Plus
X. on Modernism" which really
is q completion of his recent
syllabus, The document sets forth
that modernism is a serious danger
to the church, refers in detail to the
various features OF modernism, con.
dennis II As dangerous in philosophy.
faith. theology, history, criticism and
reforms, and arrives at the conclusion
that modernism is a synthesus OF all

provisions:

tive theology. etc, is to be carried on

locations.
4. A committee OF censorship is to
be established in every diocese to pass
upon the publications which the cler-
BY and faithful shall be permitted to
read.
The encyclical has caused a stir
throughout Europe, and is regarded by
far the most important issued during
the present pontiicate. 1t Is regarded
in some circles as liable to arouse as
much controversy and discussion as
the famous PRONUNCIATION OF the dogma
OF the immaculate conception by Pope
Plus TX.
8. The encyclical OF the late Pope
Leo XIII. prohibiting the clergy from
assuming direction OF publications
without their bishops permission and
providing for supervision of the work

illegal. Sergeant Euston stationed
two men in uniform inside the

during their days in Rome and other
places, ran their meetings to suit
