ands-Many from This City
Attend the Picnic,

The air was hazy with the dust
thrown up by a thousand steele clad
hoofs; there was a continual hum OF
conversation broken at intervals by
loud laughter and cheering, the dark
green foliage of the oaks wa brought
into clearer outline by the multi-col-
ored bunting draped about a score Of
noisy refreshment booths and the
many shaded gowns Of the women who
wandered about the grounds with the
more somber clothed men.
The twenty-seventh annual Old
Settlers picnic held In New Florence,
Saturday, was the largest ever in the
history Of the association. The crowd,
which was estimated at fifteen thous-
and, was larger than eve before, the
number Of prominent speakers will
never be excelled at another similar
picnic and as always the hospitality
Of Montgomery county reigned SUI
preme.
All the candidates had friends there
but Governor Joseph W. Folk re-
ceived the ovation of the day. The
cheering following his Introduction
lasted fully fifteen minutes and might
have been resounding through the
woods yet but for the deter mined ef-
forts of the committeeman to quiet
the thr0ng SO all OF the other speakers
could be heard in the short time al

David Ball, William Stone AID Mr..

The Wabash railroad company ham
died three thousand people into New

possible was done to handle the

attendance wa more than In the past,
it a be said the railroad took care of
their many passengers comfortably

success.

Nearly four hundred tickets were

The first primary election in Mis-

dates by direct vote for state county
offices to be voted for at the general
election in November was held on
Tuesday In every voting precinct 10

an elimination contest. The polls were
opened at 6 O'Clock In the morning aud
closed at I O'Clock at night.
There was little to distinguish
the primary Tuesday from q general
election. The ballots here were
cast by the registered voters OF all
parties, and the same penalties To

PUBLIC RECEIVE EARLY RETURNS
Tuesday Evening, through the Ef-
forts of the Ledger, the PPi-
mary Returns Were Given the
Public on a Public on a
Large Canvass Situated
on the South Side Of
the Square.

Through an arrangement per.
fected by the Ledger the
Car News bureau, Of st. Louis,
the Butfum Telephone Co. and the
Mexico Telephone Co., the general
public were allowed to learn the early
primary reports Tuesday evening.
Messrs. Treloar, Mckinney aud Co.
nsnt placed a moving picture machine
in one1of the buildings on the south
side Of the square and threw the re.
ports on a large canvass curtain. This
gave the public an opportunity TO sit
10 the court house yard and watch the
returns without having to remain
within q heated building.
The returns came In slowly and be-
tween times moving pictures were
thrown on the curtain for the enter
tainment OF those waiting, which
numbered several thousand. This is
the first time anything Of the kind
has eyerbeen done In this city. 1t was
a decided success and met with the
approval OF all who were fortunate
enough TO be present.

TIE Judgement and care displayed
by those at the head Of the present
movement for q Chautauqu2 + to be
commended. Every detail receives
due consideration and nothing is omit
ted that could possibly mar the success
Of the enterprise. 1t Is the intention
OF all whom the public have chosen
to further the move to see that those
who subscribe for the stock are salts
fed. Something for nothing Is not
their mode of procedure. The matter
Of purchasing q permanent site is in
thorough accord with public opinion.
Such q place will prove q public play

outing. A lake and permanent build
ings OF rustic architecture cannot but
be an improvement TO the property.
A lake for boating and bathing on
whose shores tents can be convenient
ly placed will add TO the attraction.
The Audrain Chautauqua Assembly
should prove the center OF summer
educational activity In the northern
part Of Missouri. Every year gradn-
ating classes will be held and nothing
left undone to make the assembly
worthy Of the city and the good peo-

Average Of The Corn Crop Seven
teen Days Later Than Normal
Condition of Fruit Crop
Over The State is Very
Irregular But Bet
ter This Year.

The Secretary of the State Board Of
Agriculture, Geo. B. Ellis, Saturday
made the following announcement OF
crop conditions in this state:
CORN. Under normal conditions
the weather for July would lhave been
highly satisfied for the growth of corn.
There has been about a normal amount
Of both warmth and moisture, and a
few counties In the state have made
an improvement In the condition OF
corn during the month, while other
communities have declined. During
the May and June the excessive rains
and lack Of cultivation caused the
roots Of the corn to form near the sur.
face Of the ground and when the
rainfall became normal and frequent
close CIVILIZATIONS were given, the
shallow roots were broken and the
corn left in poor condition to with
stand droughty conditions, Forum
ately no extended drought has e
occurred, but this is a condition that
will demand even more than IA Inor.
NAL rainfall from now on to maintain
the present condition. The crop is
more irregular than 1t has been for a
number OF years. Some fields are In
fine condition and promises a high
yield; they were planted early, a good
stand was secured, and were not much
damaged BY the excessive rains; while
In the same neighborhood other fields
may be found that are late, In the
weeds, and promise a very .poor tcrop
The general average of the crop is II
days later than a normal crop. One
year ago the same date the crop was
Is days later than the normal, and
that crop natured without any mater
fal damage from frost. The estimated
acreage planted for this year was H.
29l, 800, but on account of overflow on
bottom lands and loss from excessive
wet weather on some Of the fat prair-
les, was estimated that IA per cent Of
the total acreage had been lost on July
LIST. OF this abandoned area, how
ever, "a per cent has been replanted,
and this late planted corn probably
make good feed but 1t Is not likely
that it will produce very merchantable
corn. The average, condition for the
entire crop at this time is IA per cent
as compared with a condition OF SO
per cent one year ago. A number OF
correspondents report that the corn is
tasseling very low and q number OF
report that the stalk is small.
Considering the reduced acreage, un.
der the most favorable conditions from
now on the crop will be materially
less than an average.
WHEAT. Wheat threshing has pro-
crossed very satisfactorily and Al per
cent Of the entire crop has been
threshed as compared with ~ per cent
on the same date one year ago. The
average quality Of the grain is 50 per
TENT al compared with an average
Mexico weekly ledger., 1908-08-06

quality Of 80 one year ago. Like corn,
the wheat crop this year is very IT,
regular. Some excellent Yields are
T ported while a great many fields are
making q very low Weld. The quality
Is very variable. A considerable por-
zion Of the crop viii grade No. 2,
while a great deal OF 1t is much below
that grade. The final estimate for the
yield by counties cannot be made up
until .threshing has been completed
which will be September 9th. 1t is
safe to say, however, that the yield
will be somewhat below that estimat-
ed by our correspondence on the first
OF July. Quite a number OF cores
pondents state that the yield since
threshing has begun is not holding up
to their first estimates. There will
probably be a decreased yield this year
compared with last year Of seven or
eight million bushels. The final es-
Innate for last year was 2s, $50, OLA bu.
OATS. AS a rnle, oats is making a
very unsatisfactory yield, and our re-
ports Indicate that the final estimate
will show a lighter crop than for sew
eral years.
HAY. The hay harvest has been
practically completed and a large GRIP
Of excellent hay has been gathered.
Practically all the hay was saved In
good condition, except on account OF
the pressure Of other farm work much
Of the crop was allowed to stand in

fore 1t could be harvested,
COTTON. Cotton has made salts.
factory progress during the month
and the present condition OF the crop
In southeast Missouri, where most OF
1t is produced, is 95 as compared with
the condition OF II one month ago and
60 at the same time last year.
FRUITS. The condition OF the
fruit crop is very irregular but is a
great deal better than it was at the
same time last year. For the first
time In many years the average con-
dition OF the peach crop ia higher
than that OF apples. In nearly all
sections Of the state, peaches show a
higher condition than apples. Pears
are perhaps the poorest crop. In
many neighborhoods there are scarce
ly any pears. The following is the con-
dititon Of the fruit crop as compared
with an average condition for the
different sectiona Of the state.
