II HIS | GREAT SUCCESS
St. Louis Aero Club Receives Many Congratulations Regarding tho
 Asronautical Meet.
AH IMPETUS TO AMERICAN BAlLOOAlAG
United States Expected to Start Three Contestants In Next Years Race In 0ermsny-Pommern Defeated LIsle De France by Six Miles by Govern ment Measurements.

St. Louis, Oct. 25.-The internation- al cup contest and the derigible bal loon races ended, the aeronauts and Aero club officials who have made St. Louis their headquarters for the past ten days or more, left for home Thurs day. The ballooning grounds in For est park are dismantled, airships arc defiated and prepared for shipment and the tents in which were stored tho giant gas bags are being leveled.
 Officers of the St. Louis Aero club have received many telegrams of con. gratulations over the success of aero nautic week, and it is said that the interest aroused here in ballooning will result in other contests in the near future.
 There seems little doubt but that determined effort will be made next year by American aeronauts to regain possession of the cup won this year by the Germans. The articles cover ing the international race allow but three entries from each country repre- scented in the aeronautic federation. The race next year goes to Germany, but this will not deter the Americans. who undoubtedly will enter the full number of racing teams. The three American balloons in this years race, the United States. the America and the St. Louis, may again be chosen to try for the cup. as they represent the latest ideas of balloon construc- ton. The America. which finished fifth, is the only bag of American con struction, the other two having been made abroad.
 It's performance was watched witf keen interest and was satisfactory in every particular. Ballooning as sport has received great impetus by the races held here and it is believed there will soon be aero clubs organ. ized in all the larger cities.
 Brig. Gen. James Allen. chief of. ficer of the signal corps of the United States army, who witnessed all of tho assents made here this week, was much impressed by the performance of some of the airships on Wednesday and declared before leaving for Oma- ha that he would recommend in his next report to the secretary of war that several balloons of the dirigible type be bought or constructed for gov ernment experimental work.
 Washington, Oct. 24.-The officia, air line measurement of the flight of the two leading balloons in the inter national race from St. Louis, as com puted at the geological survey Thurs day follows:
 St. Louis (Forest Park, to Asbury Park, S734 miles; St. Louis to Her bertsville. N. J.. s67.4 miles. The Pommern landed at Asbury Park, the longest distance travelled by the com petitors and the L'Isle De France at Herbertsville.
 All of the data relating to the an chorage of the balloons has been tele- graphed to Washington and the prep aration of a map of the flight has been begun by William Welch, chief draughtsman of the signal corps, United States army. It is expected that the Aero Club of America will adopt these figures and award prizes accordingly.

Crops are Above Normal.

Columbia monthly crop report
of the secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture 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. Fail 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 corn crop is very spotted and 1t
is difficult to make an accurate esti.
mate. The lowland corn in most parts
Of the state was considerably damaged
by excessive rains In the early pat OF
the season. In the southwest quarter
o. the state, including Il 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 tnah
so per cent Of a crop. In all other
parts OF the state the crop promises
full average and many counties above
an average. Most Of the corn Is late.
and will require about four weeks to
ripen. If killing frost does not come
before October IA, the entire crop will
have sufficient time to fully ripen.
Throughout the northern section OF
the state corn promises more than an
average yield and ms the greatest corn
producing section is In Northwest Mis-
